    Camera settings

    Yep. Auto all the time. Another tip is to hold the shutter down for a second or so for the camera to focus then release to take the shot. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using AC Forums mobile app

    How can I take a photo by a voice command.?

    It's a one time activation. Then whenever you are in the camera and say the specific words smile cheese shoot or capture it will take the picture. It's actual very useful in not having to press anything to get the shot. Try it, you'll ike it. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Android Central...
