hi all!

ive been testing my xperia go for the first time underwater but i couldnt take pictures underwater unless i turned on timer outside and then went in the water with the phone. is there anyway it can be done differently or is this problem with my phone? should i take it back and try to repair it? i would really appreciate some explanations
thanks a lot, cheers

the Xperia Go doesn't have a physical camera button so you can't unless you find a mod on the XDA forum to use the volume keys as a camera button

Hello

I "needed" underwater photoshooting.

I found Shot Control, nice camera app.

Has some flaws sometimes refreshing the preview pane.

The rest works fine... Like the option to assign functions to the volume button (Up OR Down):

shoot, focus then shoot, ...

Hope that helps

I found it:
http://www.shotcontrol.com/

Didn`t remember it was not free. It seems that I found it through an "free-app-of-the-day" giveaway.

Apart of that preview refreshing glitch, it works nice on my Sony Xperia Go.

I don't really know about other apps with "Custom mapping for hardware buttons (like volume down for focus, volume up for shutter)", but 3$ ain`t that much.

Why would we want to bring the phone into the water if we couldn't take some pictures, just to show that we were there ?

Well, having a look at Google Play Shot Control App's page, I've found a few more software with that function:

- ProCapture - camera + panorama for 3,99$

- Snap Camera HDR at only 2, 05$

- Camera ICS this one is FREE!

Tell us if you try any of those!
