Device: REALME GT 7 pro processor : snapdragon 8 elite The DNG output from exposure bracketing has a heavy green cast. This usually indicates an incorrect Black Level or Color Correction Matrix being applied to the Snapdragon 8 Elite ISP. Note: ProShot handles RAW correctly on this device, so the HAL3 implementation is functional. note:normal DNG works fine only exposure bracketing has hard green tint has anyone else experienced this in latest devices?

Hello: I had this feature working on Samsung Z Flip 4. I set the folder to save to a location outside dim. I did the same recently with S22 from Samsung and right from the beginning Google Photos uploads all pictures. Thank you for some ideas to prevent this different behavior on S22.

While I'm breaking OpenCamera in on my Pixel 8, while OpenCamera's features outperform the camera app, the Pixel 8 default app photos look a lot more vivid by default, and the reason, from processing time, and EXIF seems to be UltraHDR, which I imagine is consistent in my screen beginning brighter in some regions to accommodate the picture's brightness. I think it's a nice "wow" factor, and I'm not sure if it works anywhere else than on my phone, but it does make for a very nice picture on the screen....

So the grid doesn't follow the auto-level, and the issue with that is quite obvious if you switch the live frame view in... As you can see on the screenshot, the composition helper shows in the sensor area preview, and not in the capture area preview, so it's no help at all with auto-level, maybe center-based ones, but not the other ones... I think this could be a bug, or overweight, but as some people might use it as-is, i put out in the suggestions because it probably needs an on/off switch somewhere...

This could be a side effect of the ticket I opened, that OC shuts off external power supply to the phone. Presumably there could be some common root to those problems.

Open Camera doesn’t currently offer a setting to lock or force a fixed zoom level across reconnects, so when the Bluetooth remote reconnects the zoom can reset to 1×. The most reliable workaround is to use digital zoom via the on-screen control just before recording or switch to a camera profile where zoom is less likely to reset. You can also report this as a feature request or bug to the Open Camera developer, as it’s a known limitation rather than a user setting.

Here I am again. Not sure, but it looks like this problem sorted itself out. I went to Settings -> Apps -> Gallary -> Set defaults -> Cleared defaults Then went back to Open Camera, selected Google Photos as default gallery app again I tried taking still photos and recording videos and didn't notice that Open Camera changes the deafult gallery app this time Even after I restarted my phone, it still works as expected - opens Google Photos as default gallery.

Ok, I have now reactivated the standard Camera app. It also shuts down external power input completely. This is just as annoying, because if you know you are low on the battery and plug in a powerbank, it will immediately stop recharging the moment you start either camera app. Meaning, if you start to take video with the knowledge, that you plugged in your powerbank in time, the phone will continue to drain the battery until it forcibly shuts down everything :-(

Remark to that: If the phone makes a cold boot, the remaining file oftentimes is very large and bears the termination .mp3, but is unplayable. The size indicates to me that lots of frames have been store in there, so I deem a sanitization should be possible. So far I haven't had the time to try one of the many "MPEG doctor" programs out there, but I gues as long as at leaste one i-frame and a couple of p- and b-frames survive, it must be feasible, but I do not know the manner in which Open Camera...

Having preset zoom buttons would be great. I use the camera for my work (taking pics of faces). I use same zoom (3x for all my face pics). Would be much easier to directly select zoom level and not from a slider. +I think we got somewhat used to having 1x 2x 3x... buttons...

HI mark, thanks for your amazing new version. 1.55 is really the best one. It's now possible to slide from 0.6x to 10x on my s23 ultra. Which i could not find on on gcam, for instance. Somehow, i decided to go a bit further to make it even more interesting for my own purpose. Gemini was a great help, and i can say it has better features than the stock camera now when it's for the video. So the main change was here that i added a digital zoom on the 10x. I noticed that i could not shoot in 60 fps....

Another remark: I have double checked with an ampere meter in the USB connection to my external battery (or charger, doesn't matter). Really, the current drops from 700+ mA to 0.0 mA the very moment Open Camera starts... But when the current flows again (either by terminating Open Camera or entering it's config menu) there is no acoustic from Android that the battery is getting charged again. This behaviour is reproducible.

Another observation: Once Open Camera is up, the external battery is off. But when I enter the settings menu of Open Camera, external power comes up again, only to go off again when I leave the config menu.

I have just tried the "Camcorder" source setting. To my surprise this does record from the Bluetooth headset... So maybe the label is just misleading. Another remark: Open Camera's sound recording includes a very low but markable high frequency hum, which Audio recorder does not record. As I do not use any filtering in Audio Recorder I guess this is some artifact from Open Camera?

While manually calibrating settings for maximum bitrate for maximum utility best quality I notice the maximum bitrate and framerate seem to differ between apps SourceForge, F-Droid, and Google. Do the differing app release builds have anything to do with this? Why is the maximum bitrate lowering from time to time?

me again again, I tested it in motion cam that allows up to 20 in white numbers, and 30 in yellow ones, and it was still focusing nearer and nearer, but not as much as default samsung app. I tested writing my own app in android studio with customizable limit and found out the focus was accepting values up to 50 (2cm focus). i think its clear relying on min/max values reported by system/api cant be trusted.

Me again, I just found out that even other camera apps have the same problem: Autofocus able to focus really near, but manual focus stops wayy further. Interesting that the native camera app has manual focus slider able to go to true limit, would be cool if we could overide the limits reported from API to bruteforce send even shorter focus values, maybe it would work.?

My S24 Ultra can focus on like 2 cm. Whats interesting is even opencamera can focus that close, but once I switch to focus bracketing, the minimum focus distance becomes 10 cm and I cant focus any closer. Switching to standard mode allows me to again focus way closer. Pretty sad about this, I was looking to focus stack macro photos, seems im outa luck..

Currently the option to choose which microphone to use is buried deeply in the settings, it would be useful to have some way to do this more quickly. Since audio recordings with the built-in microphone and automatic gain control are unusable,using an external microphone attached via USB or Bluetooth may help, but I could not find any way to specifically choose a microphone from USB a Bluetooth, just a generic "external". How does this then select a specific microphone? What if several are attached...

Found this while desperately searching Google for how to avoid AGC in video recordings. I think it is possible to bypass AGC at least on most devices, and I think a number of audio-recording apps can do this. So it would sure be fantastic if this could be added to Open Camera as well. It is simply impossible to take good music videos, they all sound terrible because of AGC.

Hi, using this app because my Moto G86 power stock app video recording audio is very poor. Seems a lot better on here. Is there any way to access the 0.5x zoom on either the camera or video? Also I don't like the zoom slider being on the left side, since it feels hard to reach with having to stretch my thumb, is there a way to move it to the centre or right side of the screen? I find the settings a bit hard to navigate and a search feature would help.

This needs support for Android's camera API - I could do it like WebP (where Open Camera converts the JPEG from the camera driver), This would be fine to do it same fashion as webp. The file size and quality improvement over both jpg and webp is very welcome. Huge time saver to instead of constantly syncing jpg files each with 10 MB to PC and converting it to avif there ... where it gets down to just 500kb avif file.

save gps altitude in exif as float not integer
-
This is part of Android as far as I can tell - as in the device saves the GPS exif information. Even if I wrote my own code to save the exif information, the same issue applies to Android's location API: I confirmed that this is also being rounded to an integer (as can be seen with Open Camera's photo stamp option). Although Location.getAltitude() returns a "double", I see it rounded to an integer on my device.

Hello, please add as option, if you can, live total EV number near ISO and shutter speed values. It can be calculated by equation attached as picture for this message (more info you can find searching "omni exposure calculator" in Google, first link). Also, make option for quick access for EV compensation - direct slider at the edge of the screen (not at center of image) for example. So that change of EV comp is possible with a single touch and drag. Thank you very much for this great app!
