[Q] Alternate Camera App Help

I'm trying to find a better camera app to take advantage of this camera.
The stock Motorola app is awful, especially with the focus.
The Google camera is only moderately better.
Focal is way too dark.
I couldn't find anything else that would install.
So any help/recommendations would be great.
Thanks!

I'm using the Google camera app and changed the 21 mp to 15mp for 16:9 ratio.. It cannot record 4k though

I used to use Snap Camera for my S4 that was running GPE. I thought it was way better than googles camera. Haven't tried it on the Turbo yet. And I don't know if it will install.

Alternate Camera
Try Camera FV-5 or DSLR Camera. Much more control over exposure.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'm sure there is someway to improve this monster of a camera.

I second Snap Camera HDR. Use on my current S4. I will be using on my Turbo when I get it.

For the N6? Manual Camera! Lovin this app! It's still a work in progress, but it is a very cool app.

I switched from Manual camera to Camera FV-5, which also uses the new APIs (so it can output DNG). It is a lot more polished and stable than Manual Camera.

Manual camera capture in 4:3 and you cant change quality and HDR seems very broken or non functional.
Very slow shutter rate, aosp and google camera is so much faster, Manual Camara not worth it at all.

It seems you have missed the idea of the app. It's called MANUAL CAMERA!
You don't change "quality" settings. You don't have HDR mode. Those are AUTOMATIC modes. This is a MANUAL application that allows you to adjust MANUAL settings like ISO, Shutter Speed, Over/Under exposure, white balance, etc. If you want all the "programmed" or "automatic" settings that come in the camera app, then use the camera app!
And if your shutter rate is slow, it's because you have a SLOW SHUTTER SPEED selected!!!!
Complaining about an app that is doing what it's supposed to do, is epitome if stupidity!
ARGH!!!!!!!

The app works perfectly fine on my Nexus 6 and I really like the manual options. Too bad it's not possible to edit the raw images on the phone yet.
And the low fps isn't a problem on a phone for me because the auto focus isn't that fast anyway.
A timer for timelapse photos could be a nice feature.

Edit RAW with Photo Mate R2 in PlayStore.

Manual Camera was updated to v2.1 today, and it is now showing as incompatible on the N6. Anyone else seeing this?

seem problem incompatible N6
Edit : the fix should be available for download in an hour or two in play store

Google kinda dropped the ball on it. Hopefully it will be functionality added in at some point.

core issues with N6 video before slo-mo can happen

My sense is there are some very serious issue preventing slo-mo. That is, slo-mo you want to share because it would be close to garbage as it stands.
I shoot video frequently and was very unhappy when I got my N6.
- signal to noise (S/N) is not good on this device at this stage of the game. It simply is noisy, and it is correctable in software. Until then, slo-mo will be very nasty if anyone is brave enough to try to encode it.
- exposure compensation in video mode is poor - if you shoot a video of a person sitting in front of a blank wall (or a sky) and slowly pan up and down - you can see the exposure compensation "clicking" in stairstep manner as the device adjusts to brightness changes. It needs to be silky smooth or video looks like crap. It can be corrected in software.
- you can workaround the exposure issue by using a third party app which locks exposure compensation - but shooting video with locked exposure compensation is not a good solution.
my opinions.

@warriorpluto I couldn't agree more...I was hoping that there be at least a working port of maybe lenovo, sense 6 camera,z2 or z3 camera...maybe when more devices get lollipop well be able to enjoy the nexus camera...but I suppose for now the google camera shall do for now lol smh

Z camera is good enough. The only one u can take picture wit no lag. But no HDR .

Manual Camera just came out a few weeks ago, but it's by far been the best for me (a camera junkie).
It's best used if you're used to the settings on a DSLR, but has an awesome auto setting and the fastest auto-focus i've seen yet on the N6.

So is the best camera app "Camera FV-5" with Cinema FV-5?

Just cleaned up in here. You guys can take the political debate to a different forum, please. I have absolutely no idea why this subject got brought up in camera thread (actually I do, but I'll deal with the certain member(s))......on a development site.
No need to discuss what I just cleaned in here. Please keep it on topic.

Camera FV-5 has always been my go-to in photography. Great UI, very configurable, and takes good pictures.
I've never tried any of those apps you mentioned other than ZR's camera (since it's stock), but know this: the smaller sized application it is, the less bloat, promo nonsense, and ad-junks you see on screen. Many Camera apps you see (including the ones you listed) on the Play Store are filled with junk, so go for something light (Open Camera is less than 1 MB!).
The stock app is OK, but it too is filled with bloat. The quality of the picture could be a lot better.
Camera FV-5 is a paid app, so unless you plan on shedding money for a good camera app, go for Open Camera (free version of FV-5 is useless). Open Camera's UI is ugly, but it takes good photos.

I'm in love with the Pexo Cam
I've tried Ciberian in the past but it almost made no difference.
Now-adays I installed PexoCam v8.5 and it's perfect!
Totally recommended by me

Only you can decide whether you prefer one or the other, so try them all out. You shouldn't expect someone else to decide for you; there are just too many variables in regards of how someone typically uses their camera...

Camera for 360

Hi to all, it sounds strage to me but seems that sony, among all camera mini app, didn't think to a function to make 360 (sphere) photos. Among all camera apps in the play store i tried Panorama 360, but i don't like it: the pictures are really noisy. I was used to use google camera, which has this function, in my old xperia S with naosp rom so I download also in my Z5 but the higher resolution is 8.3 Mpx.
Which app you use to do 360 photos?
Thanks

Google Street view works for me
