Hey everyone, quick question. What third party app supports all 4 cameras of xperia 1 ii.. I tried moment because it said it supports all the features and all but in real life it only supported wide angle, main and front facing camera and now all support. And I've tried the proshot that supports all the cameras but is buggy. Any other apps come to mind?
This is a good topic for me, as I am finding camera app with full support on our phone - XPERIA 1II.
I found this one supporting 4 lenses, and it has free camera app to try with,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.filmic.firstlight&hl=en_US
Another one I am using, this does not support all 3 lenses, but it can take photos with 21:9 ratio,
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.magix.camera_mx&hl=en_US
I hope more supported apps can be shared here, as an alternative to stock camera app and google cam.

We all know now that the camera software is taking some bad pictures because of some compression issue.
But have anyone tried 3rd party apps like camera zoom or any other?!
Is the quality better?
I ask because I want to know if its a software issue or a hardware issue...and want to know before I buy 3rd-party camera app.

The quality is the same since every 3rd party app uses the camera APIs or camera Framework provided by Sony. It's a software problem, not a hardware one, but Sony is who has to improve it.
I wonder if CM or AOKP roms have their own "camera API" instead of Sony's. Probably they could fix the issue before than Sony does...

Thanks for answer...Hm thats not good...Does CM or AOKP teams know about the issue or said anything about improving the camera for us?!
I did a chat with sony support and they said they are looking in to the matter but "don't know when/how the issue will be solved"
It's a software problem.
For daylight i use the stock camera in burst mode,it give a very good image quality.
For night time i use night camera from playstore,it removes all the noise.

Only difference I noticed with camera zoom is u can set 100% jpg quality and pics go to 2.5mb instead max 2.2mb
So it's not much better but I hope rizal finds a solution for the problem like he did with my neo camera

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

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.

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

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.

I liked the Manual Camera, but there is no option for video mode and front camera mode..
Does anybody here use an alternative camera app on their S6? I know Google has their camera app, but I find it a tad slow on the auto-focus. I generally like the stock camera app, but just seeing if there are any other third-party apps that might be better in terms of quality of the photo and speed of the app.

I have a gcam that only supports wide-angle cameras, but I can't see a gcam that supports telephoto cameras.
I asked this a while back in the main Gcam thread and no one answered, so it may not be available (or possible?) yet. I do know third party camera apps often have issues accessing anything other than the main front and rear cameras, so I don't have very high hopes for this. For as bad as the poem camera app is, I had higher hopes for using the telephoto lens.

I found that this one seems to work.
There is a huge delay switching cameras unless you configure the ratio to the 16:9 crop. If it's on 4:3 there is a delay.
This wasn't setup for the Razer phone 2 FYI.

Thanks, a good gcam, did not function with tele for me, but i did not delete the old version. I use them both in the same phone.
Took a while to get the right parameters.

What parameters do you use? I think you can export settings in the app as a .xml

Hi everybody,
I see several threads which are dealing with the best camera or best camera settings for PHOTOGRAPHY.
But I haven't found any that is dealing with VIDEO.
As I am more into taking videos I would like to know which app (and settings) you recommend and why.
Thanks!

I'll stay with MIUI camera for video recording (default settings). Most of 3rd party cameras are only optimized for photography. But yeah, instead of judging which one is better you can test it one by one by yourself.

I have tested a couple of GCam versions and the Leica-Camera and think that none of those was good.
As I am on an AOSP ROM I could not install MIUI camera.
Probably MIUI camera is the best one for video recording but I do not know.
And probably there are some GCam mods which are even better.
Could you please explain why you prefer MIUI camera. Is it the sharpness, expore, noise reduction, or any other parameter?

I'm not really expert with photo/videography, but i'm just looking the video results with the default settings of 3rd party cameras compared to the MIUI camera. The results were MIUI camera have better video stabilization compared to the 3rd party cameras.
