You can't tell what this update will fix/change/include till the rollout or official changelog appear by Sony themself.Every brand has modified version of their frmwares for every specific phone.We only know for sure that will include the camera 2 API.
You can check XperiaBlog about the changelog, Sony Japan says it will start to roll out in late-June.

Not quite, manual controls alows for better use of the camera meaning you dont have to depend on the camera to do it for you hence Manual control
RAW DNG Capture is for professional use but raw capture means a lot of information is stored with in a certain format meaning you can take a raw capture picture into professional softwate light Adobe Lighroom and edit all of the elements without losing quality or masking issues

dahs nice... hope to see it on 5.1!:good::highfive:
The average user won't use raw format, but it's a nice feature to have for sure. But if Sony wants to really push their "camera phone" which the hardware is actually pretty good, they can definitely improve on the software side of things.

True true
I cant wait because i studied photography in college and i just find taking pictures of things is just fun
I find it would be a popular move with sony if Z3+ all the way to Xperia Z got Camera2 Api
Raw
As a photographer I can tell you that Raw is a must, I use Raw only on my Dslr'S, The only issue is that raw is 100% uncompressed, nothing taken out, so getting ya average mobile and indeed software and image viewing software to recognise raw format is a whole other problem, yes there is a converter available on play, but I've not yet found any manipulation software on play that deals with raw.
I would be very surprised if Sony did implement raw.

I'm suprised it has a microsd slot:
Why do I get the feeling that the NXT Xperia line does not come with removable batteries or am I mistaken?
Plus, the lock screen notifications look eerily similar to WP7 icons and design.
That looks well sexy. That might be my next phone

So what is the difference between the Xperia Ion and the Xperia S? Just the screen size and at&t LTE support? Will the Xperia S also be available in the U.S. through Sony Style off contract?
So Xperia™ S have frontal camera, but ion doesnt?
that makes a difference when using with apps like skype, for me at least.
Edit: Ion specs are impressive, i wonder why SE cant offer the whole package when designing a phone , i badly wanted frontal camera on a phone like this.

To be honest, I'd be surprised, upset, and confused if they don't keep a consistent UI across all their phones, so I'd expect the new UXP on ours to look more or less the same as on the Ion and S.

Of course it will be same UI
just like x10 gingerbread is same like arc gingerbread right?
You shouldn't expect the new UI to be available on 2011 phones. Sony Ericsson has to differentiate. They'll keep the Android version updated for as long as it takes, but you won't see a new UI for old phones. They did that once with the X10 (to 2.3) because the X10 really deserved another update, but I can't see it happening with their current line-up.
You have to differentiate between old and new at some level. The interface SE uses is always fitting with the physical design of their phones. Updating the interface would break the cohesion.
And, with the different resolutions, it might not be as easy as we think. They'd have to redo a lot of the graphics to make stuff from a 1280x720 display work properly on a 848x480 display.
But we'll probably see someone at XDA backport the whole ROM. Shouldn't be that hard either, their foundations are probably more or less the same.

I can't work out if that's sarcastic, but I thought it was the same so I'm guessing not.

I want the new UI in my Xperia arc, Looks awesome. SE or Sony knows how to design a phone
Xperia S is great and like a dream machine.
But why the **** oh why the battery is sealed and no memory SD card???
Why everybody takes this ****ing iPhone philosophy!!!
I'm so pissed I think about switching...
I am really mad all those producers have to **** up something in the end.
ola,
just upgraded to last ftf, and oh surprise (actually i was sure that it would happend) no raw mode in the camera.
so what s the point to do the so called "best camera phone" and not have raw mode enable with lolypop?
if you have any tips trick for enable that, please share!

I mean that we had and have a thing called "manual" but available options to choose are very limited. Android 5.0 brings new feature that allows a true manual camera mode, like ability to set shutter speed. But for some reason (I think that kernald is right, commercial reasons to upgrade to Z4 etc. apply) they didn't implement it, and we are left will old "manual" mode.
I wonder how many people crying for RAW really know what that will give them.
Stock Sony camera app has some of the most extensive manual controls of any phone app.
so is there a flagship phone which offers RAW on Lollipop and can compete with our Z3 feature wise?
otherwise stop winning

Well I don't think it's just for commercial reasons. Implementing the full Camera2 API from scratch is a lot more work than just backporting the old camera firmware to the new kernel. It's not just a question of flipping a switch or not.
Why RAW? The sensor of a smartphone is too small to make a serious professional camera anyway and it always requires post-processing with professional software that most users do not have

Yup exactly. I'd say almost everyone crying for RAW has no idea what it means or what it will give them.
As for the guy that wanted manual shutter speed controls, the Z3 is one of the few phones that you can manipulate ISO and exposure compensation. All modern cameraphones have fixed apertures. I hope you can do the rest of the math to answer your own question.

You know what's really funny about this argument? People have accused the Sony JPEG engine of underprocessing (under sharpening, less contrast, ligher NR) than other algorithms, which I kind of agree with. You know what that sounds a lot like?

No argument there, the camera can perform a lot better.
But that does not change the fact that no common user wants to import their casual selfies and vacation snapshots into a 1000 dollar piece of software for post processing before posting them to facebook.
I would much rather see Sony improve the camera software instead of enabling RAW.
Wow. I'm getting the update now in the US. From your comments, it doesn't sound too promising. Are there any good sides to the update? I'll have mine in 6 mins but would like to know
Guys, no other major players other than Motorola are including the Camera2 API so it's hardly fair to blame Sony for not adding it. I'm sure it's a lot of work to implement the API properly for a feature that few people in theory will notice.
Hopefully they will in the future.
Maybe im ther only one that thinks RAW support would be a cool thing to add to a phone that takes nice photo's but why didn't sony release the Z5 line with RAW support?
Is there a way to add RAW support when we have root on our devices?
This is the power of what RAW can do for your photo's

Theres no way to add RAW except writing new camera drivers.

Well the LG G4 and other high end samsung phone can already shoot in RAw and i thought i seen this info bout sony willing to add it if there was enough people wanting this feature.
But if you look at the new Snapseed app from google it can edit RAW so guess the new nexus devices will get it also some day.
Demand RAW support from Sony, they will add it if there is a customer demand

Well their response was
Android 5.0 supports the new camera features via android.hardware.camera2, and Google defines three modes for the new camera features:
Legacy mode (no support RAW capture)
Limited mode (optional capability for RAW capture)
Full mode (optional capability for RAW capture)
Currently, Xperia supports Legacy mode in our Lollipop update which incorporate features and functionality in addition to our already renowned camera experience. As always, we're monitoring our customer expectations and regarding supporting taking pictures in RAW format, we will consider this for the future if there is a popular demand.

The developers of the concept build (for Z3/Z3 Compact) said in December that they were discussing whether they continue with the concept in January 2016 with focus in some stuff (Full Camera 2 api included) or not.
It's just another promise (in a private google+ group), but who knows...
They've been just testing the Z3 firmware in Marshmallow. So I think the Z5 will have a lot of bugs.
They seriously need to improve the camera firmware in the Z5 line, photos at 2MP captures much more details than in 8MP. Not to mention 20/23MP which is still worse and useless at the moment.
Waiting waiting,clock ticking...waiting for 6.0
i really hope they will add full camera2 API features because even Samsung is adding them to S6 line with MM
Don't hope too much.. MM is just around the corner, if this was included I think the news would have leaked.
Sony needs to stop using resources for a ton of useless camera apps and just focus on SA mode, a semi-pro mode (scenes), and a full manual mode like iphone has. Considering that single developers on xda can unlock manual modes, it is totally beyond me why Sony chooses to stay behind competition.
With z5, they seem to have started to take the camera matter more seriously, so maybe they are working on it.
In for RAW support on the Z5C.
Make sure you let Sony know that we want RAW implemented with api2 in MM!

Sony's Superior auto default MP are set to 8MP,as it is the best resolution for fast capture,saving,and more reasons

Is there any quality loss in pictures when use this mod in Z3?
I don't known if camera apk are major responsible for this, or are other internal libraries that control image quality.
Testing on XperiaZ1 C6903 (.368)
Almost, Work fine without FC
Thanks >W<
xperia z ultra c6833 on android 5.1.1 .368 version is working flawlessly, thanks for the port
Working on Xperia Z1C with 5.1, no FCs at all.
What is more finally HDR is working with resolutions higher than 8MP! @edit
there is FC mentioned in first post, but since it only occurs in front camera mode it is not that annoying.

I flashed this for my Xperia Z3v D6708 Verizon variant, and the camera does not open with the app. Says camera stopped working. But other apps like instagram can still open the camera. What should I do?
Salute and thank boss
You deserve a great thank you and salute. I am waiting for long time for this. Great job bro.
Any chance to make this work on Xperia Z?
excellent worked on my Z3. thanks a lot.
Read the Edit from 10.04.16 below, before posting "funny" comments...
Hey guys, could it be possible that the mighty 23mp of our z5 is in reality only 8mp upsampled to 23mp? No third-party app shows the full resolution like on older sensors of Xperia z1-z4.. And Sony won't give the "super" image processing algorithm to the Sony "open" device project!? Maybe the Devs from Sony just don't know how to hide the 8mp to 23mp techniques.. So they don't give it free to other Developers to make the poor z5 camera better? The details when zooming by 23mp shots are so washed out and muddy, I can't believe it's actually 23mp.. I guess because of that, Sony is hiding something.. Don't they? Why else they are acting so strange?
10.04.16 Edit:
okay, maybe it has a 25mp sensor, but Xeon explained it very good here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=66263647
If they weren't 23MP sensors, someone would've found that out a while ago and taken SONY to court for false advertising. I doubt SONY would be that dumb. And the details might look fine on a normal day, as long as you don't zoom in too far. The maximum resolution is 5520 x 4140 which is really, really big. Even the Galaxy S6 with a 16MP camera only goes up to 3984 x 2988 on a 4:3 ratio.
Edit: Here's a photo with of my dog. Then a photo of it zoomed in on his noise. Look's pretty detailed to me.

actually there is a third-party app called "CyanogenOS Camera Next" which recognize the 22.9MP sensor!
I haven't tried capturing with 22.9MP option, but it's available in Camera Next!
Ah okay, Interesting statements. Maybe it's just the poor software from Sony ?Thanks guys
It's definitely poor software from Sony, the camera is good but has soo much more potential

I've read that most third-party apps identify Z5 camera as only 8Mp due to a buggy system file which has a wrong identifier value of this CMOS. It seems Camera Next is a bit smarter, as mentioned below.

Jep, hope Sony is doing something about it soon.. But I think they don't care very much.. Because the new Xperia x is more important than device's ho hade already sold..? sad kapitalism

I think that is because Sony need to make those other apps think it is higher res as well .
I still believe Sony are software interpolating the photo's to 23MP, because the results just lack too much detail.
To be honest, I as well as many others I am sure would just prefer 12MP done right

That's why we are not getting raw support because it will show that the real sensor is 8mp lol

i just tested that app it works pretty well although the burst mode is ultra slow but the quality seems clear like the ones shown in the ads
I'm also pretty sure that the 23 mp thing is just a kind of trick.... SONY won't let you know anything about the camera. If you open AIDA64 under devices it can't even detect the deviceID or sensor type.
I can't understand how 8MP resolution pics look better than 23MP
Actually it is a 25MP sensor or to be more precise 24.77MP.

Sony pay for gsmarena to tell this fake info and if they pay for me i swear that the sensor will be 40mp lol
Just look at this app ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3322562
It is upsampling more resolution of actually all cameras ?

Kinda nice idea but only usable in completly static scenes and with a tripod. But seems interesting. Will check it out!

What sort of confirms that the sensor is not the full MP rating as suggested is that all manufacturers that are using the same sensor don't have the same resolution

Well if they want to limit and resort to fixed pixel binning. They have native 25MP for the IMX300 sensor.
