I'd like to buy the HDR Camera+ app but I'm wondering something... Does the app make use of the Nexus' fast shutter? A friend told me there are fast and slow modes in the app from which the fast one doesn't work on all phones. Does it work on the Nexus? I don't think HDR on this particular phone would be worth it over stock app if it's as slow as other phones...
Would appreciate it if someone using it could tell me Thanks.
Well HDR essentially takes multiple pictures and then stitches them together. So I'm gonna say its not gonna be as fast. Besides, do you want good pictures or quick pictures?
Dude, HDR are not for taking moving objects, it's more for landscape or things that don't move.
Basically, HDR takes 3 photos and fuse them together, kind of. HDR takes a underexposed, normally exposed and over-exposed shot.

Try the free version of HDR first and see for yourself.

I purchased HDR+ Camera app. It used to work great. Now, either a recent update or Jelly Bean cause it to force close. It cannot take pictures. Wait, or look elsewhere for a similar app as there are several in the Play Store.

Yes I know what HDR is and how it works. I was simply asking if it's relatively faster on the Nexus than other phones that don't have shutters as fast.

So we have moved to the new base so much similar to S3 and I'm wondering if this is possible. I really want not to use 3rd party apps to fast burst
we don't have the required hw so no.
There is a custom app for it on market it takes this sort of stuffs,
the developer had an S2 when he demonstrated the video, its not the best but its something :laugh:

Fast Burst Camera Light from the Play Store can take multiple pictures while holding the shutter button. Its not the same as the S3 but it still takes fast burst images.
I think sgs2's hardware would be capable of doing that

Iirc that just takes frames from the video feed. It doesn't take full frame captures like the S3 does.

The hardware is capable of taking burst shot pics at a low resolution, not that which we have grown used to with the standard issue single shot apps. The exynos 4 dual core is powerful, but 8 mega pixel stills at 60fps will bring it to its knees.

Just looking for a replacement camera app with better overall performance
- as a bonus, an app that can take advantage of photosphere? Looks like 360panarama doesn't work on the N4. Also, ability to upload to google maps is a nice bonus to handle sharing photosphere without google+?
I'm gonna guess I am at Google's mercy with all things photosphere though.

Here is the million dollar question though. Does it focus well with FLASH? Google really messed up with this damn camera. I swear up and down that the Nexus One had a better camera than this garbage they put in here. It's absolutely useless with flash. I can't use it at all!! Damn you Google!!?

My problem, in addition to the worst focusing ever, is that the camera software totally blows out anything I take a picture of with flash. Pictures of my friends make them look like highlighters!

That 28,700+ (now) number is the amount of open issues with Android in general, not the auto-focus.

Well, I love photosphere and I have got into the habit of taking them almost everywhere I go and then uploading to the google maps streetview project (which makes them easy to share in photosphere mode without google+).
But, I have to assume there isn't any camera app out there that can share to google maps other than Google's own. So, I still will be stuck with the stock app for at least that.

Do you know what this means and how to fix it? I get the same thing. I'm still on 7.1.1 if that means anything.
Only works on 8.0+
Taken at least a dozen photos of my idiotic face just to test it, and it works exceptionally well really. Thanks to whoever modified it, great job.
The caveats though, it will only work as long as a HUMAN FACE is detected, for nothing else, and HDR+ or HDR Enhanced etc. modes won't have any effect while using this portrait mode. Also I really wish the images didn't come in the burst mode format, but I am sure a future update will polish up these things, kindly update the topic if an update is made to the app.

If you check out the post I linked to in the op, he details how this sorcery works. I don't think portrait mode is designed to work with hdr+ as it is kind of counterintuitive. Face retouch works however and works well with portrait mode. I think the burst mode is a side effect of the work around he is using (using the software version that's implemented in the pixel 2's ffc on our cameras rear facing camera). Anyways I'm just happy to see our device is still getting improvements from these newer devices. ?
Has anyone tested normal photos with HDR and HDR+ to see if it performs the same as the normal google camera? If it's the same then it makes sense to disable the google camera and rely totally on this one.

Been meaning to but really didn't get time to inspect the photos on my monitor, however I think this one has some video recording feature missing or whatever, someone mentioned EFS not working on 1080p. Pardon me if I've read wrong.
So if we can get portrait mode se should be able to get now playing too right?

Yes, EIS does not work with 1080p ( which I use the most for the 60fps) and to be honest, HDR+ enhanced seems to be a bit over processed compared to the stock camera in my opinion.
Do you have the newer APK, which I told adds some 4k features?
Edit: looks like it adds 4k to phones that support it but didn't come with it.

Hi there,
Are there any camera apps which have manual control and /or time lapse video?
( I dont really need all these features,but few days back i wanted to do a time lapse video and Pixel 2 camera app hasn't got this feature.)
In Playstore couldn't find any worth buying, i did end up using gopro time lapse app but not pleased with the results.
I had the galaxy s8 and the time lapse video quality was very good, easy to set/edit ,lots of options.
I did tried Free Camera app,but photo quality was bad.
Any ideas guys?
I think no App is better than the Stock app in picture quality. For making picture better i use "perfectly clear" and "snapseed"
Stock!!
Obviously stock is the best camera app, although I think people are missing the point in that he wants a time lapse camera. Not used it for years but you could give Microsoft Hyperlapse a try ?
Anyone found an app for timelapse?
Stop saying stock cam lol
