Android camera app for photog nerds?
I am seeking recommendations for an Android camera app which puts me in
control of all the functions like a pro camera with manual controls would do. This is for a Samsung Infuse 4G if that matters. I want convenient manual control of all functions. Yeah I know the camera sucks but it's what I have time for these days and is very very handy. The biggest failing is in extreme contrast highlights will blow, so it's important to have exposure compensation, and contrast adjustments! Raw would be great if possible. I do a lot of closeups so manual focus would be great. These little things do macro very nicely but with too many limitations on the controls. I can do my post-processing in other programs, I just want to control the capture. Thanks for any ideas! :-) |

Camera FV-5 $4 and a free lite version with low res http://www.camera.flavionet.com/tuto...era_manual.php My camera isn't supported though, so it doesn't show shutter speed and manual focus is touch & go, or maybe just not working. There is a focus lock but it's not always available... hmm. Samsung Infuse 4G Model number: SAMSUNG SGH-I997 firmware VERSION: 2.2.1 baseband version: I997UCKH1 Kernel version: 2.6.32.9 Build number: FROYO.UCKH1 The FAQ's for the above explain technical limitations and apparently if I had the Ice Cream Sandwich OS, my odds would be better, and I think I could load that... googling no, very unlikely. I'm probably stuck with Android version 2 (Froyo), which according to that FAQ won't let any app access manual focus: http://www.camera.flavionet.com/faq....era_parameters |

There is a point where photos for art sake transition solely to photos for documentary use only. The camera phone makes that transition inevitable. If you're saying camera phone can't create image that are art, I call bull****. BugBear |
