Compatibility with advanced camera api (Camera2 api) - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, i'm coming from Windows Phone and the only reason that stopped me from buying a Z3 compact is the camera2 api non-compatibility.
Camera2 apis enables manual focus, white balance, iso, shutter speed and raw support (my Lumia 930 have all of those)
Is this z3+ compatible with Camera2 APIs? You can check from the Manual Camera Compatibility app (by GD software), Lollipop required

old z3 has no compatibility at all
Thank you!

i answer to myself: this youtube video says YES (except for raw support.. that sucks)

i guess it will be the same for Z3+ compact, at least i hope so

Curious if Note 5 has the Camera2 api enabled

This camera app has manual settings for shutter speed, white balance and iso but needs the Camera2 api to work

The official app also has those features. Logic would say that it must have the api. It also has raw file savings, which is part of the api. I cannot imagine that Samsung would use a non standard way to achieve raw file support.

There is nto a way for sammy to shoot RAW without Camera2 API. Yes, it does have it, OP. RAW shooting and the extra adjustments are all present out of the box (got mine in the mail 10 hours ago)

raw photos?

Can somebody confirm here that xperia z3+ can capture raw photos? The device comes with camera2 api support but I never heard it can capture raw photos before
Nope, it doesn't. Sony had already confirmed that it support a mode (don't remember the name now), that support all the camera 2 features, except raw capture.

Camera2 API support level?

I'm very much interested in the camera capabilities (esp. manual video controls) of Android phones. Manual controls are (at least when using 3rd party apps) related to the support level of Camera2 API implementation by the manufacturer of the phone. Can anyone with a 4S tell me what Camera2 API support level the device has? ('Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' or 'Level 3') There are two free apps on the PlayStore which you can use to test: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link yet as I'm a newbie here).
Thanks in advance

Is Nokia 8 camera full manual?

Does Nokia 8 camera support full manual settings? Could you please test with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test and show results here?
Also has anybody tried any 3rd party camera apps like OpenCamera, Camera FV-5 or those SnapDragon Camera ports which can be found here on XDA? Is photo quality different compared to Nokia 8 stock camera?
The pixel camera apk works but flash is iffy. There is another thread about the camera in questions n answers

I'm interested in this too - especially for Camera2 manual controls, bearing in mind that some devices may show full Camera2 compatibility, but there's still the question of whether it works bug-free. Third party camera apps with Camera2 are:
A Better Camera: enable Settings/General settings/More/"Use Camera2 interface".
Snap Camera HDR (Trial): enable Settings/Other/"Use Camera2 API".
AZ Camera: this uses Camera2 by default.
Footej: this uses Camera2 by default.
Open Camera (disclaimer, I'm the author!): enable Settings/"Use Camera2 API".
How do things like flash, manual shutter speed, RAW work on the Nokia 8? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm thinking about buying Nokia 8 at some time in the future and this full manual camera is the most important feature.
One more thing that the Manual compatibility test app does not show: does Nokia 8 support touch light metering? I.e. if there are light and dark areas in viewfinder, automatic light metering would burn the light areas. With touch metering you touch the light area and the result is more natural.
Shutter seems to be limited.
Cant exposure over 1s, hoping that update will fix it.
I think lg g6 have same sensor maybe im wrong but it will exposure 30s
Which camera app is best for manual controls?

Opencamera...you can play with iso speed and shutter is limited still to 0.1s
Enable in app camera 2api feature.
If yuo want just pont and shoot take google camera apk .
In oreo beta, only build in camera app records video.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/ there is the arnova apk i like that.
You xan test the cyanogen cam too...it has manual controls but still shutter speed limited to 0.1s

Camera app is extremely disappointing and needs an urgent update. This app freezes time and again which is quite annoying.

Do you mean the stock camera app freezes? Have you tried any 3rd party camera apps, do they freeze, too?
Try this if it helps:
