HDR comes to Android! Introducing Pro HDR Camera, the world's first real HDR app for Android! From the team that created Pro HDR for iOS, now you can automatically create stunning full-resolution HDR images with just a single tap on your Android phone. Please note that this app has been tested to work properly on Motorola, HTC and most Samsung phones. However, if you have a LG, Sony, or other device, the HDR capability may not function properly. Full functionality has been verified on the following phones: * HTC: Thunderbolt, EVO 4G, MyTouch 4G, G2, Incredible, Desire, Legend, Bravo * Motorola: Droid, Droid 2, Droid X * Samsung: Galaxy S, Epic 4G We've just released Pro HDR Camera for Android, but here are a few professional reviews of our iPhone version: "If you ever take photos using your iPhone, this app is a must-have." - Gizmodo "Pro HDR leaps ahead of the pack... Even if you're not into HDR photography, this is one to check out." - TUAW "Picture Perfection: Pro HDR automatically aligns and blends the images, giving you a perfectly exposed, amazing image that rivals a high-end point-and-shoot camera" - NBC Los Angeles Thanks to Pro HDR Camera, you no longer have to choose between a blown-out sky or a hopelessly dark foreground. Bringing automatic high dynamic range photography to your Android phone for the first time ever, Pro HDR captures an image exposed for the highlights and another exposed for the shadows. It then aligns and merges the images, giving you a gorgeous HDR image up to 8 megapixels like nothing you've ever seen from such a tiny device. Unlike fake HDR apps that merely take a single photo and reprocess it (without actually adding any new detail), Pro HDR massively extends the dynamic range of your camera and produces beautiful results that you have to see to believe. We provide a fully automatic mode, and an assisted Manual mode for those times when you wish to choose your exact exposures. Finally, you can take stunning high-resolution photos of all those scenes that are just too contrasty to capture in a single picture. Not only will seasoned photographers instantly fall in love with Pro HDR, one look at our example images should convince anyone that Pro HDR represents a new era in mobile photography. Check out our gallery here: http://www.eyeappsllc.com/Gallery.html Pro HDR Camera for Android comes with these incredibly useful features: • Automatic in-app HDR capture, where all you have to do is tap to capture • Manual in-app photo capture, where you get to choose the exposure of each image in your HDR • Proprietary image alignment algorithm that precisely aligns full-size images in seconds • Sophisticated image blending creates one beautiful output image nearly instantly • Live-updating image adjustment sliders to perfect your HDR: choose the perfect brightness, contrast, saturation, warmth, and tint, or let Pro HDR automatically select the best settings • Fullscreen image preview in portrait and landscape orientation • Save HDR images at the full resolution of your camera, up to 8 megapixels • Seamless background processing that renders your HDRs while you keep on shooting • Built-in HDR gallery view to peruse, share, and re-edit your HDRs • Share your HDRs with the world with e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, Picasa, and more IMPORTANT: Pro HDR Camera requires Android 2.2 (Froyo) or later. Pro HDR Camera works on Motorola, HTC and Samsung devices. Unfortunately, the exposure functions on LG phones and the Nexus S seem to be broken, so HDR functionality will likely not work (though the rest of the features will). The Nexus S doesn't truly adjust the exposure, but seems to darken or brighten the image in software as a post-processing step, which does not allow for true HDR photos. LG phones don't allow setting the exposure at all.
i assume you've tested it on x8, right? does it work, or you just uploaded it to raise your thanks level by ppl who click thanks button before checking compatibility?
I test it... how you can see in the screenshots.. Most of the app that i am posting here are testet..
I test it.
The screen says: Hold Still! Scanning: 0.0
And it keep taking picture..
Yes.. i notice that... i don t know why.. but it s making the pictures...
Sent from my X8 using XDA App
i've tested it on my se xperia x8 another version from PDA and app said when i opened it that "your phone cannot take hdr pictures, because it lacks exposure controls"
I can not install this app, an error message appears, I don't know why, someone can help me?

Nice <3
Anyone got v1.25 & will v1.25 work on x8 ?
It doesn't work with x8.. just you can take a simple photo
Couldn't install it on my X8..
Sent from my Xperia X8 using XDA Premium App.
Isn't this considered warez as this is a paid app on the Android Market?
Paid apps is not tollerated here on xda forums.

Been searching, looking... the specs I read stated the camera on the 5 had a digital zoom. Cannot seem to find it. ??? Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
We haven't been able to figure out how to zoom on our SGP5s either (got several of them)!
So, if anyone knows, please post?
Jim
I can't find it either. In the manual:
4. After taking a photo, touch Image Viewer to view the photo.
While viewing the photo, use these options:
• Pinch the screen or double-tap on the screen to zoom all the way in
or out. For more information, refer to “Pinch” on page 17.
But that's AFTER you take the picture, probably the zoom they were talking about. I gave up and bought Camera ZOOM FX when it was 10 cents the other day. MUCH better camera app!

That app is now $2.99 ... I checked out a couple of others, but none of the free ones I tried, including the one from "mnApps" would zoom .

Hi,
Can you confirm that Camera ZOOM FX can do zoom in preview/taking pictures?
I've been trying a number of other (free) apps, all which say they can support zoom, but none of them work so far.
Also, I found this:
http://www.popcrowd.com/
and the 1/2/2011 posting seems to indicate problems with zoom and the Samsung Nexus S (I'm assuming similar to with the SGP5 and zoom).
Jim
Just got off a chat with Samsung support, and they said that the YP-G70 doesn't support zoom while taking pictures.
I'd still be interested in tcat007's response re. Camera ZOOM FX, and whether or not it can do the zoom.
From what I've found, apparently the Samsung players may have a non-standard API or interface for zoom, rather than supporting the Google API. I'm wondering if the Camera ZOOM FX guys were able to get around that.

FYI, I just got Camera ZOOM FX, and it IS able to zoom with my SGP5 (US/Gingerbread/2.3.5). It auto-detected "Type 2", but wouldn't zoom, so I tried the other types, and "Type 4" works !
So, apparently the SGP5 hardware is similar to (has same problem) as the Nexus S:

I can confirm Zoom in CameraZoomFX does work. You have to set the Zoom setting on "Type4". It does "act" a little strange. The zoom slider does zoom on preview, but when you take the picture it "appears" to go back to 1:1 (a temporary 1:1 preview). But when you open the image, it is at the zoom ratio you clicked it at.
It also has an "activate shutter sound" check box, when unchecked there is NO sound!
Update: The zoom is pretty much worthless. I just took a shot 1:1, and a shot 6:1. The 1:1 is 2048x1536=3.1mp, 1mb file size. The 6:1 is 178x238=42kp 11.5k file size... not sure how/why it changes the aspect ratio. You're better off taking a 1:1 shot and cropping to what you want to get the zoom (pretty much what digital zoom is anyway).
Thanks to all who have answered up, replied with results from the Market and calls to Samsung support. I suspect that based on Zoom FX's is not actually changing the lens dimensioning but merely doing a zoom on the 1:1 image before it saves the file.
I am not an expert on the cameras, but know there are other Samsung cameras (like the one in my Samsung Epic 4G phone) that have firmware updates to change features like this. Guess we'll have to dig more...
Not meaning to hi-jack my own thread but just trying to register this thing on Samsung's website is a pain! This is a U.S. model ( I hope since I bought it in VA at a Best Buy!) but the Samsung registration wants a model number and model code?? Mine says its a YP-G70 in the Settings > About Device > Model number, but there is no 'model code' listed on it/in it that I can find.
Samsung's registration is asking me if its a Model Code YP-G70CW/PEO, /TTT, /WON, /XAA or /XAX.

Hi,
I just registered mine (US model). It's the /XAA (should be on the box also) one.

Hi , I'm new here.
As I'm graphic designer (Large Format printing store) , its hard 4 me to see the 8~12MP cameras images that are pretty useless as large images! they lake all the details, no sharpening or aggressive sharpening, and very aggressive noise redaction algorithms.
I was wandering I we can make small camera apk that will take photos via the camera apk we choose, shoot at highest MP and than take the pic and do the following actions:
sharpening(normal)
Img downsize to 50% Via Bicubic sharper method (no need those useless large images)
sharpening(normal)
add noise - in Photoshop its 2%, Uniform, Monochromatic (bcz images are too smooth and unrealistic)
and save image.
in this simple method we will get more realistic, detailed images in effective size.
those are simple filters that I believe can work on android (?) there are java software with those filters http://www.jhlabs.com/ip/filters/

Yes, that´s possible.
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums & Read the Forum Rules
Moving to Q&A
sorry I didn't know- I assumed it was related to developing section.
If this possible who can help to make it happen?
Is it hard to code?
all that the apk need to do is receive image file from existing camera apk and add sharpening filter downsize it to 50% of the MP,
this way we would have great shots with our cameras!
Hello,
I would like to use the google photo sphere camera app as webcam and take periodically photos. I would use 2 stepping motors to pan around the environment and collect the required points.
My first thought to look what information logcat prints in verbose mode but it seems that there are no information.
Second thought was to look into the code and maybe change the code to my needs but the photo sphere seems not to be part of the AOSP.
So what do you think? Is there a possibility to take control?
Thank you.
Hi!
I am planing on buying this phone (currently have a S5 that's beginning to show it's age) and would really like to know if poco has a working (and tested) RAW photo support. This is something I actually miss the most with my S5 camera. Can someone with a GCam please check and ideally upload a low light high ISO DNG sample photo?
If anyone is wondering what's the use of RAW, with all the hassle (beware, technical details ahead, possibly even a bit of math!):
Access to the RAW sensor data is extremely powerful. When doing a night time photography you can get significantly better results by manually lowering the ISO and bumping the exposure but in truly low light that's not enough. You then take dozens of 30s exposures and add them together. The problem is that if you are working with JPEGs, it doesn't really work for extremely low signals. If there is a light source in your image that even after 30s exposure does not expose a pixel enough to bump the value from 0 to 1, with the added noise reduction it gets rounded to 0 every time, so adding zeroes gets you nowhere. On the other hand, if there is a significant noise in your sensor, that's actually in this case extremely helpful. By adding the photos that have a very low signal (below a normal detection threshold) but also a significant noise, you can remove the noise and still get the signal that has 'piggybacked' on the noise above the pixel threshold. Doing this, if you have the patience, basically makes your photos limited only by the 12MP sensor resolution and the lens quality. The quality of the sensor, it's dynamic range and noise level becomes completely irrelevant and you can basically simulate an 'ideal' sensor with arbitrarily large dynamic range and sensitivity and arbitrarily low noise. You should, for example, be able to do astrophotography and photograph objects that are too dim to be visible with a naked eye, beyond what even dSLRs can manage without these kinds of tricks.
With the very fast CPU and plentiful RAM you could even possibly automate this tedious process on the phone itself (for example by the use of CLI linux raw photo manipulation tools installed through termux or linuxdeploy) so it could be as simple as putting a phone on a tripod (or a sky tracking mount), starting a simple script and waiting for half an hour while the phone takes and processes the photos.
With access to the still linear RAW pixel data, you can even use the camera as a 'scientific' sensor in, for example, a cheap portable spectroscope. The possibilities are endless
Yes, I am well aware that I am weird
yup you can. also you can install 3rd party app and camera2 api is enabled by default no need to root and bootloader unlock for that.
Secondly camera is super awesome.
i can you lead to telegram group where people share their photoshots done on poco f1. you will get the idea
The gcam is one option for you to capture raw images but it does not support manual mode so you cannot get those long exposure raw images to talked about. What you can do is get a camera app that supports both raw images capturing and manual mode like proshot or manual camera
Very cool, thank you both! It would be great if someone could upload an actual DNG file taken with the poco and an app that also supports manual exposure. I am curious if the cli programs will recognise the format.

well manual mode is supported by default camera, but it doesn't have any option for RAW output.
my best pick will be open camera application.
what you recommend for both raw and manual mode
I've shot some raw photos using latest GCAM. However I don't know any apps for RAW files editing in phone. And I Didn't get time to check their quality on Photoshop. RAW files size is around 15Mb. I can send you those photos if you want to check.
That would be great if the DNG format is the same as the one the other apps (that have also manual support) produce. Can you send it to my gmail (same username)? Thanks.

I love astronomy and I am very interested in an app that would let us get raw format images and also have the manual mode. Did anyone know any app that can let us do that?
Thanks in advance
Manual camera app supports both RAW and manual controls. I haven't yet found an app that also supports intervalometer.

Gcam with manual controls does exist you know. Just get gcam with mods or from sannnity. These have manual control which can control ISO from 100 to 6400, shutter time from 1s to 32s (nothing shorter than 1s) and manual focus control. They can save it in raw.
FreeDCam also supports both manual controls and RAW.
To edit RAW images on the phone, use google snapseed app.

Can you please tell me how to add Sannity mods in gcam?
just create a folder named gcam in this another named configs
in the configs folder place all the gcam configs xml files
to apply these double tap the black space near the shutter white button to load the configs
