So after lots of exchanges with the developer, i finally have RAW image capture working in Yureka.
It is still in beta, and the steps to download is long (for now), but hey raw capture and editing is pure joy and we can get great results and details out of our powerful camera.
1) join the community

2) become a tester of freeDcam
3) download the APK
4) start app, swipe from left, in picture setting, select picture format as bayer-ideal-qcom and select CAPTURE button
5) set resolution and quality and capture
edit with your favorite program like darktable, rawtherapee etc
Great

what other explanation do you need?
also the dev at the g+ page is very helpful and does reply to all sort of queries.
Bluish tint and low quality
Sadly there is a bluish(sometimes greenish) tint and that is not light but too much. Any way to capture raw with normal colours? Also the quality is even lower than the jpegs captured with stock camera app.

can you post your settings?
also you should post the dng files on G+ page where the developer can take a look at it
I dont need the dngs.
The green is because of the missing colormatrix. But it can easy fix with awb tool in ps and rawtherapee or every other app wich can read dngs.
It would be usefull when the thread starter update it and make his knowledge for all users avail.
Its not good to point all problems to me.
I get bored when answering 20 times the same question and user get stupid answers or im just ignore them.
Its not my problem when people dont know how to process the taken raws. The quality can be worse when you dont know it.
Im thinking about to remove rawsupport in freedcam for all devices wich use the neutral matrix... Then its limited to g2/g3/m9 devices.

Ouch. ...i knew that the color tint can be fixed but i didn't know how to do that. No prob i will check youtube. What about the quality? Is something wrong with the settings?

the preview is in dark conditons always a bit noise. for raw capture use iso 100 in all light conditions. it reduce the noise heavy. the exposure can later increased when its to dark.
also turning off wavlet-denoise can decrase the noise

We don't have a powerful camera like one+one and the raw output is expected to be noisy as no noise reduction algorithm is used.
Although FreeDcam has options for noise reduction and what not, i would rather do that in an external software. this is the reason why we are capturing in raw right?
With RAW you will get much more lighting information and thus edit should be much better.
Also try to use manual control available like adjusting ISO etc. Google should be your friend. Enjoy!
A'ight. Didn't want you to take it as a "complain" xD ..Thanks for the info though. @abhi can you tell me what is the expolock button for? to lock exposure ?

with that you can lock the camera ae routine. that means you can point into the sun lock the exposure and the cam does not change it until it gets released.
it can be used to trick the camera shutter time.
as sample when you want to have a longer exposure time at night. aim with the cam to a dark point or lay it to the ground and lock the exposure. then point to the scene you want to shoot.
the same trick can be done for a faster shutter speed. for that lock the expo into a light (sun or simliar)
No raw format found
In the given method only jpg and dng are available as picture format!
What to do? @abhifx

When you want to capture "RAW" use dng. You are not able to open pure android raws.

Alright everybody,
I have had the mozart now for a few weeks and everything is outstanding on it, it's pretty far removed from WM6.5.
The only problem i'm having is the camera just seems to shoot a little blurry, I know some of the pics are me not quite keeping still, I was just wondering what settings it should be on for a good picture.
Thanks
Graham
Hi,
I've not changed any of settings and am getting pretty good results (when I remember to wait for the 2nd flash that is!).
Will have a play about with the settings over the weekend and post if I find anything interesting.
I'm currently thinking about getting a 7 Mozart myself and was wondering how the camera performs.
Could you please take some pictures and post them here?
Thank you very much in advance.

Thank you for your work
Here is the review with pics and everything:

How does the Mozart camera compare to the Omnia 7? I am considering either this for the camera or the Omnia for the S-Amoled.
I'm experience the blurred image as well and I did not change the setting either.
Just wonder how to take close ups with this camera e.g. when i take photos of a book the words are not readable, blurred???
EDIT: Wrong thread !
Anyway, I'm having the same issue with "blurry" pictures. Even my N900's 5Mpix camera is performing better... *Sigh*

This might sound a bit odd, but u know the button on the side to press to actually take the pic? .. Hold it in for about 5/6 secs and it seems to zoom in and crisp the focus ... then click to take a pic.

Have you tried Macro mode? Works well for me.
I've not had any problems with blurry pictures.....unless I move after focus has locked. Unfortunately there's no Microsoft update coming for me being bad at keeping still!
Ok, we need to press the camera button for a while until it adjusts the focus, then close ups can be taken and once focus is locked then there is no blurr and images are just excellent. thank dov74.
any thing i'm missing in settings about macro mode? not sure where it is.

No Problem.
Macro mode is under camera/settings/scenes then it's the last option. I've not taken any proper photos with it but I've messed about with it and have gotten good results.
From memory, another member on here uploaded a picture taken in Macro mode - will have a look and see if I can find.

thanks dov74, I've found it, never scrolled the scenes option further down
i have a 6 month old and it is sometimes kinda hard to get the right shot so i figured i would give this a shot. the free one is great so i got the full version and i keep getting a force close. anyone else want to try this out?
is there any other apps suggested?
Try vignette on the market. I believe I saw fast burst or something similar under one of the options.
They have both free and paid, try free first to see if the options available but you'll be limited to a very low res. If you like it, buy the full version, it's an awesome app for taking pics
is the full app high res pics?

Oh yes, the full extend of the phone, which is 5MP, and I feel gives better pic quality than the stock camera app. Plus you can manipulate the pics with different settings, like soft halo, pic grain, b&w, etc.
found this on another site... pertaining to the burst mode...
The Fast Shot mode skips the preview and returns to the viewfinder so you can carry on taking photos as quickly as possible. Fast Shot also disables auto focus to make the photo taking as quickly as possible.
Dev reply
Hi,
I am the developer of Fast Burst Camera. I would of course like to fix your issue. Please email me at [email protected] with details.
Also, it would be be helpful if you - when the "force close" dialog appear - that you select the "report" option and send the details of the crash. I will recieve that information, which will tell me exactly where the app failed
thanks,
Peter
I am reading aout this app.
Are you saying that it will hi speed shoot with the flash operating, too?
If the answer is yes, its a buy.
this is MINE.
hii guys ..
i keep wonder ,, we will have zoom on miui camera ??
i like miui rom .. the only bug that it dont have zoom and i need it
so any body know if they are working on it ?? at we gonna have zoom or they give up on that bug ?!
My opinion, you don't need zoom.
You need an app that can crop a picture because that's exactly what digital zoom does.
So shoot your pics and then edit them (I use Picsay and it's awesome) to isolate the details.

All digital zoom does is makes bigger blobs of colour.
Ugh... Sad realization that the X10 zoom is digital.
This is still a convenience being able to zoom(crop) an image and without editing send it directly to facebook/twitter/wordpress/[ fill in the blank ].

Have you ever seen a phone's camera lens pop out?
...
Exactly!
All phones have digital zoom only.
Also, unless you are in a great hurry, it takes less than a minute to crop a picture and then share it in any social network so no biggie.
Try PicSay, I find it entertaining to give a "final touch" to my photos before posting them.
Hi guys,
Just received my phone. Got the latest Android version and I'm fairly happy with it.
Got a quick question - How vulnerable is the glass in front of the camera? I really want to maintain the image quality, but knowing that the phone has a camera bump and it's literally rubbing against surfaces, I wanted to ask whether any of you got noticeable scratches on it? I still have the protective plastic sticker on it which reduces the quality greatly, but I just want to know whether I should really think about how to protect the camera glass? (Like sticking a washer on it, etc.)
Also, something I have found out: The phone takes RAW (DNG) photos with the stock camera only. Which you then (blindly & 1 by 1) need to convert to .tiff using DCraw Mobile app. Then, you end up with ~70mb 16bit tiff file which you can import into Lightroom/Photoshop. Now the whole process is a bit time-consuming. Anyone found any workarounds this?
Sorry for all the questions, but I really like this phone. I'm planning on sticking with it for a while. So I have to be careful not to wreck it.
Cheers!

Freedcam Can provide proper dng capture on almost all mediatek devices which opens in pretty much all raw development tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/camera-freedcam-4-0-3-t3115548
What you will need todo is provide a raw sample and camera parameters text
Open freedcam Swipe Right Scroll down Save Camera Parameters
Swipe left to close menu you will see an icon with jpeg underneath tap on it select raw if you download from playstore in the new beta its named bayer once youve done all that locate the files at DCIM/FreedCam attach a link to them and in dng support will be added for the p9000

@empy16
Give that a try
In Picture format button where it had jpeg written tap on it and select DNG
Let me know how it goes if Successful you will need to shoot a white image DNG so I can create a FlatFielD correction to be added to DNG Metadata.
Easiest Quickest way place a a white page A4 printing page on top PC Monitor Set PC background to White at Full Brightness Defocus the image with manual focus / set infinity focus set iso100 take the image of the page make sure not to include your fingers in the image lol.
Should DNG Capture but experience FC it maybe caused by my android studio in that case I've pushed the Elephone 9000 to my got will ask the other dev to build

I will try to produce the white DNG when I get a chance (Today or Tomorrwo). Thanks!
Right, even with FreeDCam DNG/RAW capture does not work on Custom non-stock roms like ResurrectionRemix or Cyanogenmod. Any chance for a fix. I really need this, this was a big selling point for me.

1. Find a nice place without street lights close to you. The darker the better.
2. Use a small tripod. I got one for 6$ on AliExpress.
3. Set the ISO to 50.
4. Usually manual focus and focus on the the farthest possible. It depends on the scene so you can also use auto focua.. I prefer manually so it won't change.
5. Set it to 10 seconds timer , or use voice shutter.
6. Start with around 5 seconds shutter and play with it until you get your desired shot. Play only with the shutter speed.
7. Profit.

Yes and no.
Yes, but not without sonething to block light from the camera. In DSLR we use ND filter. Yoi can search online for how to make ND filter for the camera homemade. I think it is possible to use camera film to block the light but I'm not entirely sure. Google it, I'm sure you will find something. Google "How to make ND filter for my phone".. without blocking light the photo will be overexposed no matter what.
