Manual camera

New app in the play store, Manual camera, from the makers of dslr camera pro. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2 . Nice to see an app with a great, modern ui which takes advantage of the new camera api. It has controls for iso, shutter speed and manual focus. Capture speed is also INSANELY fast, way better then anything else on the market now. I will try and take some samples later to compare with other apps with the new api, like a better camera and snap camera. Check it out, definitely worth a look..

I'm trying it now. Does anybody know if you can change the default camera app to the lock screen shortcut?

Looks like L camera on steroids and works good.

You can try this app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-ultimate-android-l-lockscreen-music-t2844145 . It's a lockscreen replacement, looks pretty much the same as the regular lockscreen but lets you choose custom apps for the shortcuts

The stock lock screen also let's you choose a default camera app, perhaps clear defaults on the stock one?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

Yeah you can disable the stock camera app then open the shortcur, but for some reason it won't let you choose manual camera as the custom app

- No option for picture size
- No front camera

I've bought it, It works well, but suddenly it doesn't save my photos... I've tried everything, reinstalled the app, flashed 5.0.1 again from zero... WTF

I had this same problem...Try taking a picture with the stock camera (to save something to the default photo folder) then try with manual camera again. It should work.
I think the issue is that manual camera doesn't know what the save location is because its just following the stock camera's role. (Or something like that)

Bought it but refunded. It's not as polished as google camera. I can't use it for everyday photos.

Just installed it, awesome camera, needs some improvements though

Hey guys just discovered a camera app , fv5 which says that has more manual settings and works without bugs,does anyone bought this app? Does it really do what is says?

When I disable the stock camera, my shortcut goes away, so I can't select anything.
I really like Manual Camera, lots of settings that are easy to get to. It also takes pictures faster than the stock camera. I just wish I could access it from the stock lock screen.

After the latest update (v1.9 I think) you can now open from the lock screen shortcut. And yeah, fv-5 does have a LOT of options, I just prefer manual camera ui because you can adjust all of the settings without covering the viewfinder. Hopefully the devs will add more features soon, if it had burst and HDR it would be complete

How I can shoot light trails with manual camera ? I mean how to keep it recording image for some time?

You mean long exposure?
Set the shutter speed to a longer value and you'll have the closest thing to long exposure.
This is the closest I've gotten to getting long exposure with the right settings.

by longer value u mean the 0.8s choice? is there any way to make it 2 seconds for exaple or the exposure time is limited due to hardware?
thnx for the advice u understood what i wanted to do nice photos btw

I think exposure time is limited to hardware. L camera has a longer setting I believe (not too sure, dont have it installed at the moment) but a 2 second photo still looks quite amazing.
Thnx
Edit: Just installed L camera and it looks like it has 1.5 second shutter duration. Should be OK for quick long exposure. A stand will help a lot.

L camera is worth installing. Its a great camera if you know how to use the setting. Manual Camera is great as well, great UI and amazing shutter speed. I use Manual Camera for quick point and shoot and its great. Its definitely worth it

LG Spirit H440N - Enable Panorama and HDR in Camera

Go to /system/etc and find a file called "camera_config.xml". Make a backup of it, in case something goes wrong.
+++ PANORAMA enable
Open the file, and find the line in the beginning that says:
<item name="mode_rear_supported">
mode_normal
</item>
Edit that section to this:
<item name="mode_rear_supported">
mode_normal,
mode_panorama
</item>
Save it and that's it. Now you have a MODE button in your Camera app that has an Auto and a Panorama option. Enjoy.

Guys, report back if the photos are really better than before. I don't have much time to test around or compare them in photo editing apps or whatnot...
Why is the viewfinder black, you ask? Because my finger is over it, that's why.

Tried it, didn't work, noticed that at mode_panorama an underscore is used, fixed it, works. The capturing is a bitslow imo

Need more options. Manualy adjust ISO.

@jonixas Not here. Works fast for me.
@PukutisLG Buy a DSLR, then

That works only for root phone or? Because i can't find system folder

Only for root. How do you expect to modify system files without rooting?

Tried it, works fine. But can we enable HDR mode somehow?

Check out first post!

It might be just me, but I'm not seeing much of a difference with HDR enabled.

It was worth a shot...
Values in camera_config.xml:
1 enables it
2 enables it ( did not notice it changes anything )
3 makes Auto HDR available in the Camera options
I got somewhat better quality images, and larger in size with crisper details, by adding:
ro.media.enc.jpeg.quality=100
... in build.prop

Yes, me too... But yeah, it was worth a shot.

Just to know - HDR is not working on H440N... No flash is enabled in HDR mode (which is important actually for HDR mode). Panorama works fine.

Tried it.. Works well. Any more tweaks coming to our camera app?

I've been playing with the camera for a couple of days. Even tried to enable super zoom, but that just caused the camera to go bonkers. I guess the panorama is the only thing we are able to get... but, I will keep snooping

@Tomo123
Panorama does not work. With that camera app gives FC. But HDR works.

You're the FIRST person to report panorama DOES NOT work, but HDR DOES work.
Funny.

@Tomo123
Sorry. That was my bad. Did not see that "," after normal mode. Now everything works fine.
Wysłano z telefonu.

I would recommend installing Open Camera from the Play Store, since that app is much more advanced than default Camera app. Been using it for a few days now, and I decided to make it my default cam app.

@Tomo123
But photos from open camera have worse quality than from stock camera app.

I also used OCamera for a few weeks, it was just a bit inconvenient to use for me.

White Dots pattern in raw photos ZTE axon 7

Hi
Today I had an unpleasant surprise to shoot the first photos in Raw with the ZTE axon 7 and to discover a uniform pattern of white dots throughout the length of the photo ... anyone else has this?
Thanks
Edited:
The problem has been reported by other users or in official forums ZTE USA, so it is possible to think that this a very serious problem and could be a global hardware error of A7 ... May be this is the cause of the excessive processing of the JPG images of Axon 7.
Also, I also think that is why "camera2 API" does not Is available, which is why third-party camera applications can not be fully functional ...
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Z1aLNX3h6nmXcqIcQvjLAR8Bnwx5-dysXQ/view?usp=sharing

I've had this as well. Usually, I lower the ISO and it goes away.

What app is being used to take raw pictures?

Where is the raw setting? Was 7.1.1 not meant to provide raw files support?

Hi RainofOranges... In this case RAW photos show a sharp pattern of white dots. Like a rain or snow over the total surface of the image.
It is a very serious problem and may be a global hardware error of A7 ... Maybe this is the cause of the excessive processing of the JPG images of Axon 7.
Also, I also think that is why "camera2 API" does not Is available, which is why third-party camera applications can not be fully functional ...

You can see te original raw file in this link

Hi gpz1100... I can tell how I do: Open stock camera... Go to Expert mode... open Settings (gear icon)... select "Save like RAW image"
The Raw DNG photos you can see in a PC or, in your phone, using a app for raw process (like Photo mate 3d).
The Raw photos do not show in galery, You must find this with a file explorer (I use "solid explorer")

If you're not running the A2017U variant rom then you won't find the RAW feature. A2017G and A2017 phones don't have it.

But in the manual settings, no raw setting.

Try find raw option in the settings of manual mode.
Apparently only in A2017U model raw is supported.
Another reason to be disappointed with the zte axon 7 ... And, on the other hand, continue enjoying the jpg of his camera, because the raw are disastrous (at least for now)

Ok! So one has to be in manual mode, then the raw option appears in settings (gear icon top left). I took a few pics but they're all saved as jpg's, not .dng. Where do yo special for it to save as dng?
If you can be precise with what is needed to duplicate your issue, perhaps more could chime in on their experience.

Try locating the .dng files on a file explorer? I don't suppose the stock gallery can see those files. Sorry if it's too obvious

With raw mode activated, two versions of same image are saved: a JPG and a DNG file.
The DNG files (raw photo) are saved in phone memory (not in SD). Conect the phone in a computer for download the image (in my phone: the folder "Camera" into "DCIM" folder) or use a file explorer for find raw photo (for my only "solid explorer" works for show and open dng files in edition apps with raw support, like Photoshop express, Photo Mate R3, Snapseed)...

Sorry!
I have the phone set to save pics to sd card. Didn't think to look in the internal storage originally.
Anyways, here's a sample I just took.
I opened it up both on the phone and with the pc. Don't see any dots.

Camera API 2 J730

Hi, I would like to activate the Camera API2 on a Samsung j730. I understand that after activation it would be possible to shoot 4k and 1080 60fps.
For activation, build.prop should be edited, and I want to do this without rooting it or making a custom recovery. I understand it is possible through adb.
The problem is that after editing build.prop and replacing it with the old one I understand that it might be bootloop and I really do not want any other problems.
Is this change possible?

@H2ckerNorg
Tell me, what I must to change in build.prop to capture in 4K?

I read on the internet that you have to add "persist.camera.HAL3.enabled = 1" at build.prop or change it if there is already that line from 0 in 1.
And now camera 2 api is activated.

I have:
Google Cam
Snap Cam
Camera Zoom FX Premium
Vignette
OnePlus 5
Samsung Stock Camera
Open Cam
And only Open cam have options to change video resolution, all other record video on FHD.
Many camera apps are old and not have Camera2 API.
