Camera manual settings - Sony Xperia M5

Does xperia M5 camera let you set shutter speed? I know the stock camera app doesn't have option for that but maybe third party apps? Camera fv 5 and android camera test will let you see that.
I find it strange that xperia phones come with such a poor camera app. They don't even save RAW. Good camera quality is one of their marketing factors.

hey i wanna know some good app for clicking pic like a DSLR camera .. lol kidding.. want a app that uses the wfs camera AT ITS OPTIMUM level.. and gives me the best pic it can everytime.. let it be a paid app or free but tell me some nice ones thanks in advance..
Camera zoom FX, Camera 360, Camera ICS, ProCapture, MIUI camera.
All of them give, more or less, similar results (you can't expect pro photos from mediocre hardware) and all of them has options that makes them diferent:
- Zoom FX and camera 360 have filters that you can apply right on picture;
- ProCapture has interesting and usable panorama mode;
- Camera ICS has 2x video birtrate recording... etc.
But... what i learned from years of photo hobby and what i missed from stock camera (don't use stock rom long time now) was "touch to focus" option which is visible right on display and really makes changes to exposure of photos. Camera 360 has that one but it doesn't do anything (at least for me) to exposure at all.
So curently i use MIUI camera which have that possibility and it does make photos as close as possible to what i want.
UCam is a better cam app. You try it

Best ONE X Camera App?

Hi Guys,
I know there are similar threads, BUT the ONE X does have a very special camera, and I was wondering if anybody has had any luck with any specific Camera Apps yet?
Here are a few that I've tried so far, but nothing too special to be honest:
1. Camera 360
2. Paper Camera
3. Stock Camera App
So far Camera 360 is probably the best, but I've heard good things about Camera FV-5 and Camera Zoom FX?
When you say camera 360 is probaly the best, in what way?
Lower compression would be great, but I wonder how much the imagesense chip will restrict this and can third party camera apps bypass this process. I have tried camera fv-5 and there does seem to be a little less compression, which allows for slightly more detail, also you can save in png, but there is no zoom function.
All third party apps bypass ImageSense. I love Camera360. Way less compression, and the available filters are pretty cool too, better than Instagram~
I use now Camera ICS.
This one can disable the compression (at least it says so) and indeed the files get much bigger (100% in jpeg mode instead of 90 or 95%)
And since it still is JPG, you still can use the EXIF info.
I tried some others, but they did miss options or did also compress or the lighting was worse, or .......
I've tried a lot of 3rd party camera apps and, honestly, I find the stock HTC app to be the best.
Camera FV-5 is very good though.
Camera360 was great until some background process started to overheat My HOX, and I uninstalled it..

Stock HTC app has the best UI, but the worst image quality.

Hmm, can't say I've ever had this problem.
You may find this of interest, I have done a quick comparison between these camera apps.
1. Camera 360
2. Camera ICS
3. Camera FV-5
4. HTC Camera

Ive just been using stock ive had no problems with it
Stock is better than camera zoom fx, that thing may have bigger files but it is grainy in low light and over exposed everywhere else (unless you like that).
I can get better pictures using stock and the opening gallery and clicking that edit button.
If you click edit > effects then edit at the top you can manually edit all the filtering

The thing about the camera apps is that you can control exposure way more than you can with the stock app. If you were serious about taking pictures on the HOX, you'd be fiddling with every setting there is Stock camera definitely has the better metering, but I still believe that image quality wise, there's still way too much compression. I'll try to do a comparison some day.

Best camera app

Hello,
there are many camera apps available on play market. Have you had better experiences with any of them comparing to stock JB camera? Are there any major quality/speed differences?
Two that I like are ShotControl and Camera FV-5
The latter has option to save in .PNG. Former has more onscreen controls for easy access.
No apps can change the quality and speed of the camera majorly. I personally love stock JB camera and am not thinking of switching to any third-party anytime soon
CameraZoomFX and Vignette are also 2 really good apps to try.

G3 camera with Google Camera App

Hey guys,
So who's given the G3's camera a run using Google's Camera app? I've tried it several times alongside the native camera app, and I realize that Google's Camera app doesn't seem to work as great as the native app.
It seems the laser assist autofocus does not work on Google Camera, since it takes a second or so for the camera to focus, instead of a few milliseconds with the native app.
HDR on Google Camera does not work as intended, either resulting in an image looking like normally shot or even at times darker.
Video recording using Google Camera app is limited to 1080p instead of 4K.
There is one thing positive with the Google Camera app though, and that it has a larger field of view compared to the native camera app. The Google Camera app almost makes it seem that the native camera app is zoomed a few times closer than it should be. I'll try to take a comparison shot to show you guys what I mean, but you can simply download the app and try it yourself
Next, I will try how the camera works with CameraZoom FX app.
Well that was expecting since I believe lg made things to work with stock...but let us know which third party works best!
I use the Google app for photosphere and lens blur.

Coming from an N5, I quickly got the Google Camera after getting my G3, but then realized the only reason I liked the Google Camera was because I shot everything with HDR+. I do miss that feature from the N5, since the G3 does not a good job at white balance in some lights, and HDR+ would always get me great looking photos, but could only shoot static targets and would take a while to shoot.
I also tried VSCO Cam and it doesn't offer much when it comes to camera settings, so things end up looking almost the same as stock, but with the slower focus like you mentioned.
Did someone come up with a way to change the way the stock camera oversharpens low light photos? It's pretty bad.
Has anyone tried LG Camera on the G3?

I only installed the Google Camera for photosphere. There really isn't any other reason to.
Also, I think the stock LG camera does have a lens blur effect.

Any good alternative camera apps for th A70?

The camera quality is very bad, i wonder if there is a camera app that makes the photos better by software. (like the google pixel)
Thanks!
