As I'm big photography fan, I use my Xperia Arc to take photos. Photos are very live and colors are very vivid, but I have some problems with camera, I have focus problems while taking video, when I press cam button it wont focus that minute it needs some time, about 10 secs to re-focus, as for Auto focus as for Face Detection in any scene mode. In additon I'm looking for BURST mode, because I managed to take photos of lightnings with my C905 and this phone has very slow camera, I'd ask to improve the driver somehow. And anyone would edit camera driver so we could change the iso and other options it would be great. Please suggest anything , maybe application or something. Thanks in advance.!
You may use this app, it's just like BestPic..
Pick Pic Camera
Arc or any android phone doesn't have camdrivers like that of C905.. If manual controls were possible, we would have seen it by now.
Check out this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flavionet.android.camera.pro . It's paid, but you can adjust ISO, custom exposure, save in PNG and some more. Don't know if some options work, but I tried it with longer exposure (10 secs, under very bad light) and while I got a black photo with stock camera, this got me something a bit better. But there is a lot of color loss with custom exposure (the pics turn out pinkish on the places where there's light).

That doesnt mean that we can adjust iso on our arc.
Try fast burst camera. Looks promising

Which application did you use eventually and you are able to take better looking photos?
I use Camera360 Ultimate - quite often, it takes full resolution photo, not HD or Full HD that's one of the reasons I use it.
you can also use lgcamera (not LG related). there is a thread in the app section
^^ +1 to that! Though I use it mainly for some custom video bitrate settings
Guys I need an application to take pictures AUTOMATICALLY. I mean I want to set the shutter of camera 30" and when it takes the picture,it will start automatically to take another shot. Something like time-lapse ( Invalometer ).. ( Except the camera FV-5 ):good::good:
And what's wrong with camera FV-5? Unfortunately that is the only app I am aware of, which does what you want.
LapseItPro does time lapse for you automatically but I do not know of anything that will do long exposure and time lapse. You would get very weird motion and movement if you did stitch it together. 30 seconds between each photo is long, and would only work for very slow moving things. Also 30 seconds would create motion blur in each photo. It's a really interesting idea. I may try do it manually but that would take ages to get enough photos to stitch into a worthwhile length time lapse.
I would normally highly recommend Camera FV-5.
Edit: I recently decided to check out ProShot and it works pretty well if you're willing to spend a fair amount of money. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2. There is a free version, but it is VERY limited.
you can try freedcam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=troop.com.freedcam

Aren't stars (ok earth) moving slow enough?
I am looking for something like that too. Time lapse of starry sky rotating.
Anyone tried camera fv-5 on the G4?

Yes stars will probably be ok, but if you do a 30 sec exposure you will start seeing small trails of the stars. But you probably won't notice too much. Have a look on youtube for time lapse tutorials. There are tons and they are specific to the different types of time lapses you want to do.
Try Freedcam , i never shooted timelapses but all i know that Freedcam is capable of anything you want
Seems it has potential, I hope the development continues.
But for now it can't do any timelapse on the G4 since it always crashes when pressing the button to start shooting (timelapse), no matter what options you choose.

Thats not a discovery thats what manual camera done but keep up your experiment and amazed us with your beautiful photography . Always keep your ISO values lower , i can see noice in your photos clearly . First image is bit much exposed but good work . I am little busy now a days will post mine samples when get time.

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a way to save images as RAW in the Moto Z Play?
Also, the manual (pro) mode allows you to change the exposure duration but this seems to be maxed to 1/6 - any way to get to longer exposure times?
Thank you.
No idea about the RAW support but if you want to take long exposure shots there are a few camera apps on the Play Store which should do the trick (Camera FV-5 Lite for example) but I never tried any so you may have to try a few in order to find something you're happy with.

Cheers! I've got Camera FV-5 installed and it does present longer exposure times, but I cant tell the difference between them and the stock camera photos. For example, photos taken in stock camera at 1/6 look the same as FV5 at 5 second exp. I don't have my phone to hand but will post some examples later.

I'm not surprised if there's no differences between the 2 but I thought you could make 30 seconds exposure shots with Camera FV-5 (which would surely make a difference with the stock camera)
About RAW support, from what I've read the Z Play doesn't support it unfortunately. You'd need the TrueZoom mod to get RAW support, which is quite an expensive buy.

Edit: Tried to save RAW with Snap but although it gives me the option I was not able to find a RAW image on my card...
I use the Snap Camera app from Playstore. It's extremely versatile and gives you tons of options and it has RAW support with our Z Play.
It needs some time to try out all options and find out the best for the phone and it also costs a few bucks (although there is a free version too). But I think it's worth it. For example it's also the only app I've found which let's you tourn of the denoise filter which is sometimes very helpfull when making pictures of landscapes which lots of details.
The interface is a little annoying at first but you can turn off everything and build your own interface with the free customizable shortcut buttons (settings - advanced - on screen settings).
It has also a good support on XDA.
Thanks for this. It's odd, camera fv 5 says the phone does not support RAW. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What really bugs me though is the exposure times. I'll give it a try to see what sort of image I get with a 30 sec exposure now.

IMG image - Stock camera with everything auto and exposure at 1/6s. Looks like garbage.
DSC image - Camera FV 5, everything auto and exposure at 20s. Looks like dark garbage.
If im not mistaken, Camera2API supports raw format. Whenever Lenovo finally enables it (Nougat?) we should be able to export to raw format.

I found that long exposure shots have a very limited use :-\
True it's not something you'd use everyday, but it would've been good to have this work as it should. The only other thing I can think of is that they've nerfed it on purpose so the camera mod sells.

Hi all,
I have experienced camera button grey out and won't allow me to take photos for about 10 seconds on several occasions. Basically I can only take photo after several tens of second when the button is back.
Anyone is experiencing the same and knows how to reolsve it?
Thank you.
My guess is you are taking HDR+ Photos, right? If you take a lot of them they need to be processed and in the meantime Camera is disabled. Seen it on the 6P quite regularly, on the XL 2 never.
Same here so I decide not to use HDR+, photo quality more or less the same.
Yes the HDR+ is on as per default setting. Didn't know it has such limitation. Thanks for the confirmation.
May need to sacrifice snapping speed as HDR+ is really beautiful.

I never turned on the manual HDR+ settings. I let the app decide and just enjoy the results.
Hello friends.
Who can create moded camera app with next functionality for Pixel 3/3XL?
1. ISO priority mode.
It's Increase dynamic range.
More deeper colours, shadows.
2. HDR+ quality. Like 36, 45 shots...
Much more dynamic range, like in DSLR cameras.
More deeper colours, shadows.
3. HDR in portrait mode.
4. Off zoom in portrait mode.
5. Include modern libs.
6. Shoot photos in P3 colour space profile.
7. Keep simplicity of Google app.
Make it all without crushing Google photo algorithms.
Also here, we can post which functions are you want to add.
Also, of course, we can make donation to people who create this mod.
Lots of gratitude
lol .. cmon ..
already existing..install one mod somewhere here on Pixel 3 XL threads, search for Sanity Google camera apk and enjoy I got shots at night with zero noise ,much better even than with pro mode of other phones i got . Also at daylight shot, the picture file it's twice bigger with much more details and les noise.Only difference from original camera it's The just a little bit of warmer images ( most of times I prefer them I dunno why )

This is the mod you need to install first. (you will have feautures like shutter speed till 60 seconds,iso 50-12540 as i remember)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-3-xl/themes/google-camera-driver-mod-t3884462
And here you can download this mod of Gcam.Others as i tried couldnt work on the pixel.But this one works perfectly.You need to play then with the settings.

Can't try first method, because I don't have root.
About San1ty mod.
I had conversation with Cstark27.
What I understood.
Mods like from San1ty, Arnova, BSG, Tolyan have crashed native Google camera algorithms of photo making.
Like details(Super Res Zoom algorithms), colours, shadows, hue, saturation, white balance.
Also render algorithms like HDR+, Super Res Zoom.
I know only Cstark27 mods, which are not crashed them. But his mode didn't have options, I wrote in firts post.
For me important to keep in mod last developments from Google, like Super Res Zoom in basic mode instead old HDR+. And expand Google photo with features from first post.
Thank you
