1364172 2014-01-03 05:48:00 I want to take a pic in the normal manner.
If I open camera I get 4 options,panorama, movie and sefie facility, the other is a circle with something in it.
I would have thought the circle would be normal camera, but if i choose that I get a small screen in the center on phone screen saying, align to start, with which I can't do a thing.
I am sure I have taken normal pics b4, so must have touched something I shouldn't.

Your help would be appreciated.

1364174 2014-01-03 06:41:00 You have activated the photosphere, aka 360 deg circle thingy.

Creating photo spheres (support.google.com)

You can have a bit of fun playing with that setting.

I nearly didn't get it then, but in the end I did as it said and all is well and my breathing is back to normal.
Thanks Plod, the day is saved.
And J, I will have a play with that after taking pleasure with the HDR facility.Thanks also.

1364176 2014-01-03 11:21:00 *Definitely* watch the video that's in the link that Jen provided.

In a nutshell:
Hold it vertically, at eye level, close to your body, and it also helps if you rotate your body around the phone, not your phone around your body.
Do that and you'll be sweet, every time :-)

I think C is trying to take a normal pic, not a 360

1364179 2014-01-03 19:27:00 Cicero. When you take a video does your fone sometimes seem to hunt trying to focus or something. I've noticed this on mine since a couple of updates ago and a freind of mine with a SGS4 gets the same issue?? paulw (1826)

Hadn't tried movie b4 paulo.

No probs apart from getting the thing the right way round and all a bit jittery due to my wobbles.

Then it's not a photosphere, which was what was asked about at the start :P
