WOW!
Today got an update and now stock camera supports manual exposure.
First impression is its nice nifty feature to have.
And I feel the picture quality has also improved in the low light, though will have to test it further to be assure.
Now waiting for the day when we have full manual camera supporting Camera2 API.
:good:
Is it just my imagination or does the stock Google Camera app now also support manual exposure?
It had the settings before but to me it always seemed like they didn't have any effect on the Moto X. But now they do.
But I do love the way it is implemented on the Moto Camera. Nifty.
Is there an APK somewhere... I don't have the update. When I check the Google Play listing it has the images for the new camera but I don't seem to be able to access it?

This is internal thing. If manufacturer has locked or didn't provide some features then they won't work in the camera apps, doesn't matter if other camera apps show controls in front end.
Now since Motorola has provided this missing feature, it will work in other apps also.
There are many camera apps which show enormous manual controls like manual ISO, shutter speed etc but none works in MotoX because they are not supported in back end.
Hope Motorola provides all manual controls supported in camera2 API, that will open many more possibilities.
The Google camera app has supported manual exposure for months. You had to enable it in advanced controls. The Moto Camera makes it far more convenient, though.
Apk?
Someone please use astro or something to backup the apk
Comparison between different camera apps
(I think apk can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-motorola-camera-5-0-7-1-material-t3007246)
I did a quick comparison between three different apps.
Here is the full shot with marking of the cropped area. It was taken at 9.30am during a hazy day when only available light was coming from a window covered with white vertical blinds.
View attachment 3325409
Stock camera
Clicked with HDR mode turned off and manual focus turned on. Notice the stickers, they have fine details which are washed out in the course of reducing noise:
View attachment 3325410
A Better Camera
Shooting in normal mode doesn't make any difference. But there is 'Night Mode' in this app which also requires stable hands for few seconds before it clicks the shot. I clicked the same shot using the night mode. I feel its kind of HDR mode where it merges few shots taken in the background, though not exactly sure.
Here noise processing seems much better but slightly over sharpening can also be noticed around edges. We get much more details around focused area but still the washed down effect can be noticed at out of focus areas:
View attachment 3325411
Camera+ (Modified version of stock camera)
There are options to toggle two types of noise processing and I turned off both of them. I also set the JPG compression mode to 100% so I loose slightly lesser data during JPG compression. But images comes out are double in the data size. One image clicked by stock app is around 4 MB but this app saves a file at around 8MB.
There is no noise processing thus we get as much as possible details but this comes at the cost of huge raw grains:

Conclusion : Which one is better app for MotoX?
Answer : No idea, I have always been confused. Stock app is still better suited due to quick accessibility and convenient controls. A better camera can bring out better pics straight out of the phone but its useful only in the situation when subject is stable and you have time to spend on the shot. If you use photo editing softwares on your computers then Camera+ will give you as much as possible data to post process, that ugly looking grain can be easily taken care in the editing software, that too in much better way than the dumb brain of stock camera app.
I have plenty of camera apps in the phone and use different apps in different situations. Though now a days I mostly use stock app due to better compatibility and convenient controls.
For whatever reason the Play Store wasn't updating my phone. I removed the updates I had installed and then went into the play store and updated the app to the newest version. If you have problems give that a try.
Don't know how many of you used it but, with the latest update, HDR lost tap to focus. Not no mention that the addition of exposure control is very finicky and sometimes doesn't do anything. Just a heads-up for those who haven't updated yet.

I tried this with no luck.
here the apk of the last update version of the playstore 5.0.21.4
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=60915675&postcount=377
Couple of days back updated the phone to 5.1 and updated all the apps also. Now the camera has become terrible. The images coming out are having very heavy and unbearable water painting kind of effect.
Why Motorola why?
Previous update with exposure control brought some hope that Motorola caught up right path in improving camera but this new revision is much more terrible and hopeless. :crying:
EDIT:
Putting sample, its 100% crop of an image I clicked few minutes ago in Lollipop 5.1 with camera version 5.0.21.4 :
And here is a pic clicked few days ago in Lollipop 5.0 with same version camera app:

Has anyone else noticed issues with the video camera not focusing and making videos blurry.
On another note, the camera doesn't perform too well in the dark, with pictures having a lot of noise in them.
In daylight, the PQ is the best I've seen on a smartphone, hopefully Sony releases a fix in the near future.

I will test the video later on....
As for night shots, it always takes some patience and settings to make a good one.
Yes, now that you mention it, there was once it could not focus in video mode no matter how long I held the half-press. I switched to photo mode to focus, then back to video mode again.
I've been having issues with focus in video mode. It seems to be hunting in light conditions, and oddly when the face detection is working (the box appears around the face) it still fails to focus on the subject.
The continuous auto focus on this phone is intentionally slow, this is way better then an instant focus that constantly zooms in and out to hold the focus which looks horrible.
My other phone Droid 3 does this noticeably, constantly focusing slightly zooming in and out to maintain the quality.
If you view something with a darker colour then its surroundings, the zoom will focus correctly shortly after.
-smc
I'm used to slow auto focus, but the problem I have is failing to focus at all. It identifies the heads, but the heads remain out of focus. The focus hunts, and will gain focus for a second or so, then revert back to blur-o-vision... I the most recent situation, the subject was against a white background so nothing to confuse the sensor.
Talking about the camera, i saw a video review and the phone being reviewed had touch focus how did they set it like that?

When in the camera, press your menu button and you will get an additional menu come up with the option for Capturing method. It's in there.

I had smile detection on so the focus option was grey out. Thanks for that
Im also having issues with the camera not focusing as it should. Taking a photo can sometimes take up to 8-10 seconds when I have to repress the camera button. Is that a software issue or hardware? In other words, should I return the phone to the store or wait for the ICS to (hopefully) fix it?
if your video is blurry while recording try to press camera shutter half way and it will focus automatically
if there is lot of noise while taking picture try to change focus mode from the face dectection to the single mode focus and that will improve the picture quality especially if not taking a poirtrate picture!!
--------------------------
there is no rapid focus in the xperia s the focus is half automatic so this is work the same way as the focus in camera before half way camera shutter and it will dramatically improve the quality of the video
anyone else not able to take a pic from the home screen by just holding down the camera button? its works in standby mode but not in homescren mode..
I had this problem I went onto the camera app n then went into settings and changes the focus setting to single focus n my problem is solved hope that helps some people
This issue is driving me insane. It appeared with Amber / GDR2.
I thought it was only with the Pro Cam app, but it extends to every single other camera app (tried ProShot, OneShot, 6tag, everything) out there, including the default WP8 camera - it's more easily noticeable on Pro Cam though.
You take a picture (try taking a picture of any silver or grey object, doesn't matter the lighting, it's the best color to notice the tint) and it's perfect. Two seconds later, the post-processing kicks in and results in a very yellow tinted, blurry picture. I thought it was the viewer on Pro Cam, so I transfered it to my PC and it's not. It's really awful, because you see, as soon as you take the shot, a very sharp, very nice coloured picture just to see it being destroyed by horrible post processing two seconds after.
I've been searching similar cases on the internet and I found a great number of people with the same problem, specially on reddit and Windows Phone centered blogs. I don't think Nokia is doing anything about it soon and GDR3 will probably be as late as ever to correct it.
Any ideas how to bypass the auto post processing? I tried every single setting on Pro Cam and default camera and the result is the same.
Examples:
As soon as you take the picture it looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

A second later it's turned into this mess. It's not just the quickviewer. The file turns exactly like this.

The camera apps process the pics to a lower resolution to make them less processor-hungry and easier to view on the phone. And, the yellowish color happens to be one of the processed results.
But, if you upload your pics to your computer (or SkyDrive) you'll notice that the yellowish color is gone, the pics are beautiful and in high-resolution (Try to watch them on a HD screen and you'll see what I mean).
It is a known flaw and they're probably working on an update as we write this.

To be honest, the uploaded photos still not really good.
I think Nokia need pay more effort to the camera in 920, even my Dad's 520, the white balance and sharpness is much better than my 920
i dont have any yellow tint on photos... use Nokia Camera v4.4.0.8 app (upgraded from Pro Cam) and GDR3 for developers on my L920...

I tested it and it really makes the G6 camera live up to its true potential! Cant believe the difference http://imgur.com/a/blrWe
For anyone that also uses Norton, there is a conflict and Norton will flag it as maleware. You can't "trust" it and you can't dismiss the Norton notification.
Everything works for me except photosphere. It will capture a photosphere image, but it's distorted and stretched.
Despite that, the HDR+ function works so good, and I think it looks better than the LG camera.
I've tested it, result: both are good, but LG more real and google HDR+ more punchy. However I fiind LG calera better...
No matter how much 3rd party camera offers, only stock camera takes better picture.
thanks for this post! wouldn't know otherwise, i did test it and its pretty awesome!
Especially more realistic colours in low light if you can keep the camera stable. Not to be used for moving subjects.
In Daylight, the G6's camera is great by itself so i probably won't use it in those scenarios.

Left is LG Camera, Right is Google camera w/ HDR+
Real life looked very close to how the Google camera processed the image.
@dkimmortal that comparison is great! Can't believe how Google app made a difference there!
Here's my quick comparison also, difference is night and day! What's wrong with LG?
Testing it so far seems its shocking in low light? Images are so noisy, poor colour.
Sounds great, but can't even get it to install on my G6 (european).
I Download the apk, click ist to install, but just can't hit the "install" button, just "cancel".
Of course "other sources" are allowed in settings. Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!

You may have some app that have screen overlay on (draw over other apps) like screen rotation or f.lux. Find it and disable that permission when install this.
Tried it today in low light and its a significant improvement. Not sure about daylight so will look at that as well. Obvioulsy only works with one lens.
Mine keeps crashing sometimes when I take a photo - I think it might be due to setting the resolution at 16:9 (9.7mp) resolution. Missed a great shot as well!

Hey guys and girls.
i had an nexus 5x before i switched to the Samsung Gang (A520F)
Loved my nexus , but they used weak chips (my Nexus just died and thats when i first heard of this issue)
What i most liked bout the Nexus 5x, was its camera. HDR+ shot were really fantastic, popping colors and were awesome to look at.
lot of people liked this camera and its software, so this guy is porting the camera app to other devices.
https://www.xda-developers.com/google-camera-hdr-customization-raw-support/?nocache=1
really awesome work. tried it few times before, but the current release is working on the Samsung A520F.
i was just glad to be able to take photos, and compared it to the standard camera app, it's way better!!
much sharper , and i did not experiment much till now, there are plenty of option to around with.. so please give it a try and share your settings.
first HDR+ that worked for me with this settings:

Cant tell a difference between the different settings when comparing images..
There is a problem in front camera ...when i switch to front camera i have a force stop
When i switch to front camera i have a FC, please help.Thank you.
Well yes, also FC when switch to front cam.

Try one of the updated versions from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/le-pro3/how-to/google-camera-hdr-b-s-g-port-version-t3659879/page22
For me it's working - at least partially. Front cam and auto HDR are broken.
One version, the installer tells me it's not suitable for my phone - an A3. It was an apk file.
Hello @SchWeinSAuG, could you please upload your APK file or tell which version you used? I've tried a few and I can't get HDR+ to work, even when using your settings.
It works but with 2 problems. The flash is out of sync and the pics are too dark compared with the normal app.
As someone said earlier, the photos don't look that different from the stock camera. I tried many parameters and got basically the same results.
Could someone tell me if the Google Camera app runs on your A5 2017 and what is the version that you use?
I downloaded an application some time ago but the HDR + did not work, nor have I obtained better results than with the stock camera.
I would like someone to tell me if the HDR + works and if the photos are better than with the stock, and also what is the configuration to do in the settings for it.
Also, I would like to know if there's any option to activate the Digital Stabilizer for the videos in the app.
If there is one that works well, put the download link, please!
Thank you very much!

What is Google Camera (AKA GCam)?
Google Camera is the camera app for the Google Nexus and Google Pixel phones. It is not designed or intended to be run on other phones.
What is HDR+?
HDR+ is Google's proprietary image processing routine. HDR+ employs image stacking to control exposure, and also to preserve details, reduce noise, increase sharpness, etc. It is an all-in-one package.

I agree. Gcam has better details in daylight. The main benefit IMO is using the 3.7x lens. It is so much more detailed in gcam, especially indoors.
And, of course, astrophotography. You can't beat that.
This appears to just be links to the two best known Gcam dev's Gcam versions rather than specific versions for the Mi 10/Pro.

Thanks!
I currently use Burial with Dennis XML. So far so good. All lenses work.

Hi! one question, I installed the app en de XML..but how can I toggle all the lenses? Kind regards Tom
Depends which app you installed, after some research (actually hours of playing around) I came across some apps that have the option of adding additional lenses.
Several of the Gcam 7.4 I tried were not stable so I m using Urnyx05's 7.3.018. version 2.1.
I ve attached my config, you have to go into settings and enable the other lenses, I dont think the config enables them. (edit: it does on ports that support it, edited XML)
It might also be worth following the Note 10 Gcam thread too, as the cameras are the same, the same apps and configs should work too, although I ve not tried them yet.
Install burial beta 7

Then apply my in customized xml attached and you will be happy
Tried 4 different cameras and none are saving night sight pictures
It takes the picture, a preview shows in the bottom right, but then it just disappears
I ve had that sometimes, now I just cant view pictures via the camera, got to go to the gallery, using burial and the config 2 posts up.
It takes like 20 seconds to save night sight photos and I don't know why
Usually show up is photos app after 20 secs
Probably cos its stitching all those images together. Not that impressed with Burial tbh, lots of noise in night mode.
Does the gcam record hdr video in 10bit bt 2020 Color space at 4k 60Hz or just 8bit?
Anyone else not not able to use other cameras with ARNOVA8G2?

I've taken a photo of a toy cat and some printed text/pattern for comparison. I keep hearing that gcam blows the stock cam out of the water but I just don't see it. The stock photos are much warmer indoors, but I have lightroom mobile on my phone so that doesn't bother me too much. To my eyes, the stock app does a much better job at resolving fine detail and I have no idea what the gcam app is doing in the 3.7x zoom. Also the portrait mode, while probably sharper than the stock app, doesn't really do much background blurring.
For selfies, I get it. I think gcam captures more detail but I always need to touch them up because gcam seems to pump up the red channel far too much.
Here's a dropbox link to the photos.
These were all taken with Urnyx's 7.3 v2.3: GCam_7.3.018_Urnyx05-v2.3.apk and the yan1.xml config file.
EDIT:
I've found another gcam version (Burial) which gives me better results. I also tested out the Lightroom camera which I am a big fan of. There is more noise in the Lightroom photos but there's also more detail. The best example of the difference in detail is to look at the dark grey around the text. In real life it's a very fine cross hatching. The stock camera renders this as a mix of diagonal lines, hatching and smudges. Gcam does better abut renders it more as black dots to the right, pretty good in the centre but a little smudged and then diagonal lines to the left. The Lightroom camera looks more like the actual pattern, albeit with more noise and less sharpening. It does soften as you move right to left but it's the most consistent of the three.
Here's the Dropbox link.
Lightroom is also much warmer but again that can be easily dialed in. For the purposes of this I've just left everything on Auto.
Not sure which one I'll use. I might need to do some more testing.
I ve been using Burial 7.3.018 months, waaay better than stock, you can add each lens too.
