title: Best settings for Android camera to capture LCD?
body: <p>I notice the Android camera adjusts its settings according to light conditions. </p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to capture the screen of an LCD and notice that sometimes the light adjustment is unfortunate leading to loss in information.</p>
  
  <p>Do these settings even matter? I don't notice that much change, except for exposure compensation.</p>
  
  <p>I currently have the following settings set:</p>
  
  <pre><code>        mCamera.setPreviewTexture(surface);
          mCamera.startPreview();
  
          // Minimal exposure compensation to better quality of information
          params.setExposureCompensation(params.getMinExposureCompensation());
          // What's the best white balance for capturing LCDs?
          params.setWhiteBalance(Camera.Parameters.WHITE_BALANCE_SHADE);
          params.setSceneMode(Camera.Parameters.SCENE_MODE_AUTO);
          // For my purpose I don't need antibanding..
          params.setAntibanding(Camera.Parameters.ANTIBANDING_OFF);
          params.setZoom(0);
          // Focus mode fixed
          params.setFocusMode(Camera.Parameters.FOCUS_MODE_INFINITY);
  
          // Fix the auto exposure
          if (params.isAutoExposureLockSupported())
              params.setAutoExposureLock(true);
          // Fix the white balance
          if (params.isAutoWhiteBalanceLockSupported())
              params.setAutoWhiteBalanceLock(true);
  </code></pre>
