3D software differences in ICS for Optimus 3D

Macro update? Seems like no flower icon in the UI to indicate new 3D macro capabilities BUT... It really does seem like we CAN focus on objects much much closer than pre-ICS with the 3D stills mode. I can get a green square with a beep that indicates a good focus lock on anything as close as 8cm!!! Mind you... The built-in alignment software can't cope so well. The range of shift it allows is insufficient I find. I'm going to need it passed through 3DSteroid to see the results of its more broader alignment functions.

Check here for the 3D macro images before and after 3DSteroid alighnment (BTW that app is a must have!)

The native screen-cap function is now disabled within the camera and gallery app... so the following was clumsily taken using another camera.

The post picture taking UI is different!

I like the scrollable photo reel along the bottom It fades away after a couple of seconds left alone. All in all a definite improvement on what we had before!

HOWEVER... from the O3D feature list specified here...
"update for Optimus 3d 3d feature (DSLR shot, ruler tag, 3d macro, manual focus, zooming while recording)."

The item I can genuinely confirm as available right now is the 3D macro improvement. If the rest of those things are in this update, despite my looking for them, they seem very well hidden. Otherwise, they were perhaps just worthless rumours after all :(


A non-3D general observation is that the screen switching, scrolling is very smooth with the ICS update. Nice...
