Camera with manual controls for Xperia M4 - FreeDCam - Sony Xperia M4 Aqua

Hello all.
Probably you've heard about the app FreeDCam. The developers of this app, defcomg and troopii, have created a special version for our phones. I have taken some pics with this app.
This is with the stock camera:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I tried to make the camera focus on the edge of the seashell.
And this is with FreeDCam with manual focus:
Stock camera:
Here again i tried to focus on the edge of seashell.
FreeDCam:
Next photos are only taken with FreeDCam because with the stock one i couldn't focus most of the time:
Also with this camera we can take raw images. I converted them to jpeg without modifying them.
I mention that all these pics were taken indoors (in low light) and are a little bit noisy. But i wondered when i saw manual focus for our phones and i wanted to show you some pics.
I say again: this is not my app. The original app can be found on Play Store. And the official thread of the app is: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/camera-freedcam-4-0-3-t3115548. But the devs have modified the app to work on our devices. I would like to share the app with you but i can't attach apks yet because i am a new user. How can i share it?

---

resolution 176x144???

Of course you can capture raw. If you click on the jpeg button in the bottom left corner you can choose to take pics in .dng format which is a raw file, an unprocessed file which can be opened in many programs.
And to change the resolution just swipe the screen from left to right.
.
Also to open the manual menu, swipe from bottom to top.

Its nice to have Manual settings, but the UI is crap

---

tanks....why photo raw impossible view album?

---

I don't know. But exactly for that purpose, when FreeDCam is installed, it is also installed FreeDCam Viewer with which you can preview raw files.

Snap Camera can do all this with a better interface. Also the manual focus is way faster in Snap.

Focus
I've taken some really awesome pics with sony's stock camera with superior auto mode on...just put in in manual focus and tap and hold the place where you want to fucus..i've done this and here is the result\

---

I installed the trial version of Snap Camera from Google Play Store and it is indeed faster and has a nice interface. But for me, if i set the focus to manual mode, it gives me the error "set camera parameters failed". And Snap Camera doesn't have manual shutter speed and focus peak.

La migliore di tutte è FV-Camera Pro

Has anyone tried raw with freedcam? I tried Version 3.3.135 and I only have bayer to choose. Converting Bayer to DNG just gets me crap. Any Idea what to do? Former versions of FreDCam gave me raw but could not open with Darktable any idea what is wrong, anyone?
