Does the Xperia X/XP use the camera2 API? - Sony Xperia X Performance Questions & Answers

Can you get raw output and manual controls on the X and X Performance?
Is it through the API or in a proprietary app?

I think yes but just with "Legacy" support.
As SONY never wanna release full or limited support in Xperia Z series.

[Q] Burst-Shot mode

Hello. I want to ask about its camera.
Burst-shot, that was on Z(also ZL and ZR) doesn't appear on SP. I know that the camera module of Z and SP are different. But its difference is not so big, and SP seems has enough power. So I wonder whether burst-shot feature can be enabled on SP.(e.g, porting camera app from Z)
Is it possible in the future?
I think burst-shot mode needs proper camera -hardware- to work
There should be apps out there that can do 'software' burst-shot by taking pictures of your video feed (so max resolution would be 1080p)

i think this can be possible coz capturing rate of SP is pretty good and i think it will be possible if someone ported this for SP or sony implement this feature in future update
you can try this app to check the accuracy of your camera ... https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wombatix.burstcam&hl=en
and this app able to capture 20 photos within 2-3 sec which is good i thnk
Thanks for replying. I hope that be going to better way....

Request for Cybershot mod

Since the Z1 is released, can anyone create a new cybershot mod for the xperia Z using the latest picture processing libs fro Z1? I mean not the Z1 camera port as its not stable and no Superior auto in 13MP, no scene modes too. Its our stock camera app modded. Similar to cybershot mods.

Xperia Z1 2K recording + raw

hi folks,
when you compare specs between z2 and z1 except the ram, the gap is quite thin.
We know the currents difficulties so far for port the 4k recording to the z1, so my question is quite simple, could it be possible to drop from 4k to 2k ?
Not everybody can play 4k videos on his computer, but 2k you can, what do you think @xperiaz2 ?
Also, i still don t get it why we can t capture picture in dng or raw, as you can with lumia phone, do you guys know an app for that?
best regards
Sony + Google = Restrictions.
U mean for raw or 2k?

I dont think our dev/modder can make Z1 capture 2k video because the kernel dont support it.
For the RAW part, there are no API for RAW yet. That's mean we must wait until Google create that API and manufacture support the feature

[Q] 1st Gen + Lollipop = RAW (DNG) support?

Hey, I was wondering if any of you tried to grab pictures in raw format and could confirm whether it supports it or not.
So far it seems that all apps that use the new API added support for it only as a paid feature, meaning I can't know beforehand if the chipset is compatible with it...
Hi, Camera FV-5 Lite states my Moto X 2013 (on 5.1) is not compatible
http://www.camerafv5.com/support.php
It seems that only the nexus 5 and nexus 6 are supported. Since the support of the raw output is optional in Android no manufacturer implemented that for phones which were released prior 5.1. Seems that they want to sell they new phone with a "huge improvement of the camera for professional usage" or something like that....

Sony Xperia Z5 (E6653) stock no root
Quality is better or worst that Sony stock?
Sent from my E6653 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Hard to say, just test it out ?
Now I've Tested it and the quality isn't soo good.. But 23mp support. Slowly it goes up Hill with camera support
Sony Xperia Z5 (E6653) stock no root
I test it in low light, it is better than sony cameraui.
But no any option to change scenes or change ev or white balance or iso
Thanks bro!
8mp looks better than 20mp though, but overall lowlight pictures seems better than stock Sony cam

Their software isn't that bad at all, there's just still space for improvement.
Most people use 20 or 23 Mp, which will give lots of noise because there's a lot data captured and Sony processing the image a bit harder then.
I mainly use 8mp, in fact, it's the only resolution I use since photos come out much better.
Only when u zoom in on a taken picture u see 20 or 23mp has bit more detail but in general I would just recommend 8mp.

This is just a basic camera, there is no much options,
camera does not have image stabilization, you can only have full hd resoultion of the video recording, also no manual settings support.
And I would not say HTC Camera is better than Sony camera app, it is just the same or maybe little worst.

Camera ics + is not bad. Thanks for telling me about it [emoji106] I hope they add more features like manual ISO in future updates.

Fantastic, thank you for the update, I had uninstalled the ICS+ camera app and was not aware of the rescent update in the latest release. Just tested it and it is working really good, simple without clutter, quick startup and can even record 4k movies.
I made a quick un-scientific comparison between ICS+ 1.7.0 and stock camera, and I prefered the result from ICS+ 1.7.0. details was better perserfed and not overoptimized. More manual controls and I will be very happy.

sorry to burst the bubble in general , camera F-V5 is the worst quality camera app i have ever seen.
never they could ever support any SONY device with ISO control. (used, xperia P, U, T, TX , V, Z, Z1c and now Z5 DSDS)
Open camera now gives the control to enable Camera 2 API on Xperia Z5
and thus I can control shutter speed from 1/10s to 1/10000s with manual ISO from 50 to 3200
which is very cool
but open camera doesnt support full 23 MP resolution , so stuck at 8 MP which sucks
if only Camera FV-5 guys could implement Camera 2 API for Xperia Z5 or Open Camera developers could manage to access full resolution of the IMX300 sensor !!!! it would be unbeatable

I don't think Sony have released Camera 2 API for our devices which means it shouldn't exist on any other app when using it.

WRONG.
Sony did implemented the partial Camera2 API into the Z5 firmware . It only lacks the DNG RAW support as sony never wrote the code for the actual bayer array data type in the camera driver for IMX300 sensor.
The only good thing is that IMX300 does support RAW capture in terms of hardware lanes and bus speed.
SONY just needs to write codes for bayer array data type and implement the Camera2 API to access that globally.
right now using Camera2 API 2 apps in the market are able to control shutter speed and ISO individually to capture very nice quality images
1- Open Camera
2 - Manual Camera
but both of em are only capable of 8 MP shots. (app manufacturers fault )
Sony fault is that they have limit the shutter speed between only 1/10s to 1/10000s
which is grate for upper limit i guess as high end DSLRs only support 1/8000s shutter speed and u never need more than that but slow shutter is very desirable, at least up to 30s flat if not possible to implement the BULB.
Probably not worth mentioning but if I could get my hands on the actual IMX300 driver source code I would do the coding myself for sure. I have written (edited , added ) Sony Ericsson K750i's camera driver (CAMDRIVER0.DAT) in assembly with several new functions to implement BULB shutter speed and multiple strike flashes, extreme saturation and so on.......

Open Camera is an Open source project am I right? can we just implement the 23 MP support?
If you know anything about it I would be glad to let me know if you have any clue on it
EDIT: now that I check the open camera codes there has been an implementation fix for maximum resolution for Z5 ... and it seemed to worked when I compiled it
EDIT2: Sorry my mistake I have mistakenly downloaded A Better Camera codes and that actually have fixed the Z5 camera ... however it looks like that for Xperia Z5 to have 23MP camera it has disabled the Camera2 API 2 in order to works ...
It's looking okay for me, still should look much better with a 23mp camera.

Resurrecting a dead thread, but someone might still be interested.
I've patched OpenCamera to support full resolution on Z5C. The code is on github.
