Nokia Pro Camera App Problems

I am on EE and finally got the Pro Cam App last night when I got the Amber Update for my Lumia 920. I have two problems with it:
1) Everytime I take a picture, the image I've taken is displayed on the screen and doesn't go away, I have to return to the camera. This is quite a annoying if I'm taking a series of images.
2) This is a real deal breaker - everytime I take a picture it looks great then seconds later a yellowish hue is applied and the whole image is softened. It takes great vibrant pictures and then ruins them with some awful image processing after the picture has been taken! Is this happening to everyone else?

As 808PV no longer manufactured and Symbian in "maintenance mode" it ain't going to happen.
Happy to have helped forum in a small way with a Support Ratio = 37.0

  • The new Nokia Pro Cam is not user friendly AT ALL ...

    After the Amber update on my Lumia 920, I downloaded the new Nokia Pro Cam app, due to most people claiming that it produces very good quality photos. I agree that the photos clicked using Pro Cam are of better quality than those clicked with  the built in camera app. But this Pro CAM is not at all user friendly.
    First thing is the most frustrating. The built in camera app allows taking photos by just touching anywhere on the screen, but the Pro Cam required you to touch one specific spot on the screen for this purpose. This is highly inconvenient, especially when taking self photos using the main camera. I know that the photo can be clicked even using the camera launch button, but this serves no purpose because pressing that button actually shakes the phone a bit and makes the photo blurry.
    The next thing is, the settings of Pro Cam are denoted by symbols and not text. Camera professionals may feel comfortable with these images, but for the common man, its really difficult to understand what these symbols actually mean. I don't understand how Nokia came up with the idea of complicating matters by replacing the text with symbols for settings.
    Finally, there are no settings at all for the front camera, which is also a disappointment becasue we're forced to use the deafult settings.
    Hence, in spite of better image quality with this Pro Cam, I'd rather stick with the built-in camera app because the Pro Cam is too cumbersome and tedious to use. So what do you people feel about this Nokia Pro Cam?

    Hi, 
    Maybe the following explanations can help.
    1. There is a plus point to this also. Suppose you need to only focus on a subject and not shoot straight away. You can do that by touch the screen where you want to focus, without actually taking the shot. Shot can then be taken by pressing the dedicated on-screen shutter button. 
    I actually prefer it this way. You just can do that in the WP8 camera app.
    2. Here again, all the symbols used are standard photography symbols you will find on any dedicated camera. Even they don't have full names, only symbols. This should not be a major problem, you will learn very quickly what all these symbols mean.
    3. People usually use front camera for video chat (or to check if your hair is ok or not!). The requirement for video chat is that you don't need a very high end image/video quality. Moreover, the front facing camera quality is not that good too, so there is no point is providing all that functionality used for rear camera.
    You can try using Nokia Glam Me lens, to add some post processing to selfies.

  • Lumia 1020 missing pro cam app

    I've had this phone for for about 4 weeks now and have used the Nokia pro cam app every day. A few days ago I tried using it by pushing the camera button but the tutorial for the smart cam came up instead (I've already gone through the tutorial). I looked on the home screen and there was a blank spot where my pro cam app was, and it's not in the app menu. I tried looking for it in the app store but can't find it. My husband also has this phone and his pro cam app is still in tact. Any advice on what I should do?
    If this is already in the forums I apologize, I did a search and nothing came up.
    Solved!

    I have just had the same thing happen to me. At least the app "icon" is gone missing from the os...left a hole on the home screen and not in the alphabetical list  under Nokia "Nokia Pro Cam"....
    The camea app works as you said but the icon and text are gone.

  • Nokia Pro Cam photos post-processing makes yellowi...

    Hello there! I'm here to report a common problem which happens while taking pics with Nokia Pro Cam on my lumia 920. When you take a pic it has right colours and is very sharp but after apps' post-processing the pic turns yellowish and a bit softer. It doesn't look too good after that treatment. I'm asking for patch that would prevent this problem. While I was at Windows Phone central-forums I saw that I'm not alone with this issue.
    There is photos when one can see this issue.
    First is just after taking pic and second is after processing it. I guess one can see very clear difference.

    I see the same thing on my 620 (yes, I know Pro Cam is not officially supported by the 620 and would not work as good as on 920 or 1020, but I found a way to get it  the interface is just so much better)
    When I take a picture with manual focus, in the screen the pic looks sharp, but when i open the gallery, it changes (wll, postprocesses) to blurry 
    just a reminder, using unsupported apps may cause serious hardware problems in short/long term. i'm sure u won't be happy when u see melting plastic parts and  some smoke on your device

  • Nokia Pro Cam: Color Temperature / Balance

    As a creative I purchased this phone as to take better photos. As it does that sometimes others the auto color balance doesn't get it correct. Using the limited manual settings isn't very good either as usually they are worse. If anyone at nokia reads this would you please consider adding in 3-4 steps between each color balance setting so if say "sunny" is too warm you can go a step in one direction or the other to fine tune how it looks. Adding this feature would really make it a better application and help get perfect photos everytime. As of now the iphone auto color balance tends to look betteer, eventhough the quality of the Nokia images are better if the color isn't as pleasing then its all for nothing. Please add finer color balance / color temperature controls to the Nokia Pro Cam application!!

    Photoshop CC has made Camera RAW available as a filter. That means it is easy to use it on video.
    Can you do anything in Camera RAW to a video that you can't do the hard way with color correction and levels, etc, in Premiere Pro? No. Is it easier because you are used to the sliders? You bet!
    This first frame is from a video I shot to test the codecs my camera can use. The trees are rather dark, because, well, I didn't care when I shot the video. I was concerned with the movement of the juggling toys.
    But if I take it into Photoshop and use Camera RAW I can do very quickly what would take a lot longer, for me, in Premiere Pro. You will have to take my word for it that the color of the shirt in the corrected frame is more realistic. The Camera RAW settings were pretty much what I do to almost all of my photographs. Very slight adjustment to exposure, a little clarity, bring out the shadows, bring down the highlights that are too white and bring up the contrast.

  • I need advice on my camera app problem

    Hi...
    I have been suffering with this camera app problem for the last month and a half of having my iPhone 4S. What happens is that the camera is either working fine and I am able to use it for a short while before it completely shuts down with a purple screen, which results to a black screen and then one day I heard this funny click noise almost like the shutter in the camera was going off at the back.
    Now what I am left with is I can not use my camera at all or I can use it for like 5mins before it has a "melt" down.
    I asked for advice about a month ago and was told to restart the phone. Back up my phone and restore my software. Well I have now done that twice and that hasn't made a difference.
    My phone is only 5months old and I haven't dropped it or anything because most of the time it's on a table or in my hand bag.
    So my service provider that I have my contract with has said that they can send it in for repair or they can send it in for testing and see if they can find the fault and if not then they will replace my phone with the iPhone 5 with a pay in difference.
    So help me which option is the better one to go for with this problem???
    Because I am a photographer and I love having a camera and if I don't have my camera on my I resort to my iPhone.
    So HELP please.

    thanks very much, that's worked

  • Pro Cam pictures problem - reframing option broken

    Ok not the best description of a problem!  But let me tell you what has happened.
    I took some 200 photos on my new Lumia 1020 on a recent holiday in Ibiza using Pro Cam (5mp & 34mp mode).  When I got home I *moved* all of these photos (both "pro" and "pro_hires") off the phone because my plan was to use my PC to review and only keep the best photos on the phone.  I then copied the "pro" and "pro_hires" versions of the keepers back onto my phone.  Now the problem..... in the Gallery these photos are no longer recognised as being taken by Pro Cam (you only see the 5mp versions).  I'm really quite disappointed by this - if appears that if you take them off the phone and put them back again then Pro Cam will not recognise them and you lose all the reframe "zoom later" functionality.
    Just to summarise , I have copied both 5mp and 34mp versions of some photos back into the Camera Roll folder (which is where I orignally found them using my PC) but Pro Cam does not recoginise them as being taken by the the app.
    Help!
    Solved!

    This is a real shame as it must be possible as the sample photos on the phone are obvious;y added during production and not actually taken by the handset. Wonder how they do it ?

  • Camera app problem after updating to 8.0.2

    FFacing hanging up of the cameri app while opening through locked screen and even through normal way
    wwhat to do

    Hello there Ankushrohit4,
    It sounds like your Camera app is not opening correctly when you launch it from the lock screen. I would start by quitting all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it. 
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • I'm desperate. Camera app problems on iPhone 5s, please help!!!

    Hi, I don't have option to switch in between flash modes (on, off, auto) or switch to front camera. I can only switch in between slo mo, video, camera etc however no other option available. I'm stuck on flash on and back camera. No option to switch them not there. just blank screen. I'm so furious. Can't find anything in settings or online. Is it my phone or am I doing something wrong. Please help. I'm desperate.
    Thanks

    Try some basic troubleshooting.
    Kill the Camera app. While on the Home screen double-press the HOME button, then scroll to the right if necessary to find the Camera app. When you find it flick the screen image up with your finger.
    Reset the phone after completing step 1. by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears.
    If the camera now works, you are done. If it does not go to Settings/General/Reset - Reset all settings. Then check it again.
    Go to Settings/General/Restrictions. If you do not have to enter a passcode don't do anything further with it. If you do then enter the passcode and see if there is a restriction on changing settings.
    Still no joy? Connect the phone to iTunes and Restore it.

  • Xperia Z1 Camera App problem

    Hello,
    Four days ago I bought my Xperia Z1, and today I decided to test it underwater.
    First thing that frustrated me was that video would just stop recording by itself and it would enter random aplications, or when I press shutter button, it would exit the camera app, and such things, but I thought that it was just reaction on water and that it was normal. Later my Xperia really went wild, it constantly opens and closes the camera app, without even me touching it. Phone just stands there on the table and camera app opens and closes. When I enter other apps, camera just pops up no matter what.
    I tried a lot of things, even reseting back to factory setting, no use, so I just shut it down.
    It's really frustrating since I bougth that phone primarily because of it's high resolution camera, and because it's waterproof, which obviously failed the first test.
    P.S. Flaps were firmly closed, I checked multiple times.

    You have touch block app,you can find it to block touchscreen while recording for example.
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien
