Android Question The camera is slower than in other apps

[grafsoft]

Hi,

it takes about 2 seconds from "takepicture" to "picturetaken" - on several devices.

Other apps seem to be faster. Am I doing something wrong?

Sub Btnclick_Click
   nn=DateTime.Now
   Try
     If camEx.GetSupportedFocusModes.IndexOf("auto") > -1 Then 'auto focus is supported
       camEx.focusandTakePicture
     Else
       camEx.TakePicture
     End If
   Catch
     Dim s As String
     s=LastException.Message
     Log (s)
     Main.prot.Add (s)
     ToastMessageShow (s,True)
     ' Msgbox (s,"Fehlermeldung machen?")
     Try
       camEx.TakePicture
     Catch
       s=LastException.Message
       Log (s)
       Main.prot.Add (s)
     End Try
   End Try
End Sub

Sub Camera1_PictureTaken (Data() As Byte)

   ToastMessageShow (DateTime.Now-nn,True)
   ...

There is a continuous autofocus mode which, if enabled when initializing the camera, makes the process faster
