Open Camera 1.44.1 is released!
This introduces new features (requires Settings/"Use Camera2 API" to be enabled):
- A new Noise Reduction photo mode, which takes a burst of images, aligns and merges to reduce noise.
- A new Focus Bracketing photo mode, which takes a burst of images are various focus distances. This is intended to be used in conjunction with third party Focus Stacking software.
- A new option to record video in a flat (log) profile. See this thread for more details.
- Ability to control the device's post processing/filtering options (edge mode, noise reduction).
Other new features and improvements include:
- "Ghost image", to overlay either last photo taken, or a selected image on your device. As well as being useful for aligning shots with previous photos, this could be used to create custom grids or crop guides.
- Option to display an on-screen audio level when recording video.
- Improved the behaviour of seekbars for manual ISO, shutter speed, white balance (they now select sensible "round" values).
- Support for more high resolution photos in Camera2 mode (required for supporting the highest resolution on some devices, hopefully this should fix for Nokia 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6).
- On Android 8+ when restarting video due to hitting maximum filesize, transition to new file is now seamless.
- Video bitrate options for 150Mbps and 200Mbps (may not work on all devices).
- Launching from intent now recognises request for front or back camera.
- If an option that requires compass direction is set, the user will be asked to calibrate if the compass is unreliable.
- You can choose feet instead of metres for GPS altitude on photo stamp and video subtitles.
Along with various bug fixes, performance improvements, updated translations. See history for a full changelog.
