Is there a way to add manual camera control to Z2 - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know that there is Cyberian Z2 app but I want to know if there is any way the Manual Camera app can run on Z2 with full features like shutter speed control etc.

Hardware not supported.

Do you use Lg Camera app?

Hey have you tried this app?
https://market.android.com/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCameraPro&feature=search_result
They say is a better camera app than the stock camera app, I have tried on void#forever but I think I couldnt set it correctly because forced closes..and other issues
So any of you use it? What do u think, is better than the default app..? Why
Thanks!
i use the free version and it works fine, i dont know any other cam apps that allows remap of the search button as shutter so this is what i use, currently using it on void #forever with no major issues, tho i think something may have broken zoom (might be CMSettings), but i think its just digital zoom anyway?
Using camera 360 full version... Love the app and its effects.
any other opinion?
well thanks you. holymolys how have u set the app settings?
I prefer stock app

+1 it's one of the best camera apps
I prefer stock app, too.
vignette is also a very nice choice as well. imo the paid version is well worth the money.
the lgcamera app is the best for recording videos. you can change the sound to acc and you get crispy clear sound on your video. and you can change the format of the video too. for photos i use the stock one
camera 360 is the best ... and its HDR effect is awesome..... it removes the dullness of the stock camera..... just try it....

LGCamera is THE best . Have alots of settings . And work video recording at 20fps , not 18 stock .
The default app included in Void #Forever allows you to change the shutter to a key. I prefer it over the apps here =D

It does the trick
Guys i have some question in Camera 360:
1. Whats the Diff between Manual focus and pre focus?
2. And there are an array of settings, under the icon (P in a camera) like stabilizer,2grid,4grid,dizziness etc
Anyone knows abt it
camera 360 has better performance than stock camera but i don't need all it effects.
Has anyone edited the stock camera app to record videos at high fps.??
like 720p with 30fps will be nice Is it possible .??

I think thats impossible xD
I have the three apps for camera: default from void, LgCamera and 360Camera.
The first is good for photos, but usually they are very "black" and I have to increase exposure.
The second one made me a lot of boots and issues... I cant set it correctly
About 360camera...I dont like thoose effects, I only want normal photos xD. And each time I want to use it..I have to click two or three times on some buttons for set the camera working. On the others, you click on camera app and its done, you can make photos since that moment.

No way !!!!!
even though the processor can encode upto 720x480 @ 30fps but the camera hardware outputs max 640x480 @18fps so 640x480 @18fps is maximum ....

Best Camera setting for Z2

What is best Camera setting for Z2? superior auto with 8MP? superior auto 20.7MP? other camera app? some tweaks?
I'm not good at taking picture like manual mode.....
not exactly a best setting
you have to adjust your Exposure,ISO,metering and white balance accordingly to where you are and your surroundings
I can't see a difference in 20 vs 8. Even cropping and zooming in every thing looks the same.
try this
There isn't a real settings (depends on situation if you are). Well 20.7 megapixels in superior auto is usefull in certain situation, because this mode use the scene mode and high iso settings(over 800) in certain situations. In manual mode those thigs are locked in 20.7 megapixels. In low light situations, for example it's very usefull :good:. Some 3rd party apps unlocked some scenes,iso mode in 20.7 megapixels. I suggest to you procapture(the quality of image in 100% is amazing,night mode strangely increased it),a better camera and camaringo For front camera i think is better to use in most cases the sony camera....the images are less noisy BONUS(if you would a boost in image quality,it's the same in every android. ): You can also mod build.prop to have 100% image quality or mod memcap of image...but i suggest to search on internet for this, if you can try
EDIT: Oh i forgot, i suggest you to use mult autofocus and muti methering in manual camera with camera button for best photo!
Why i cannot manually choose the iso i want to take photo with other apps, i know what i am doing using ISO100 suddenly it become ISO800 when i hit the shutter.
My Z2 is rooted but still locked bootloader.

I don't know...it's a sony drm limitation? I advice you to use for iso modification , the stock manual camera for other things, the 3rd party apps :good: the results are also really great
I have a question,wanted to create a thread for it but thought i can just ask here,though i might as well go ahead to create the thread if i dont get the answer here.
Is there a way to tweak/modify/change the functionality of the camera button i.e to change the camera which the camera button launches,say from stock to any third party app? I think the ProCapture is a good one

It's a good rom with 3.12 base (the 1.8 i downloaded directly in chinese forum...whith help of google translate eheheh...but in the last page of that topic there is the link ) . The fact of camera button of my rom is related because i don't use stock lockscreen If i use stock lockscreen,camera button open only stock camera. Try snaplock lockscreen(you can find this in playstore) .

Full control of camera

Does anyone have full manual control of your stock camera app? I saw an article that lollipop allows full manual control of camera. If possible, any way to enable?

Unfortunately no, you can check it with Manual Camera Compatibility app. This may change in future updates. :fingers-crossed:

Manual camera support

Why isnt this phone compatible with manual camera control? I am running cm13, the stock oxygen os camera does have manual control, so why isnt the app compatible?

This screenshot tells that our device does not have manual control which means camera 2 API is not implemented. Manual control is more than just controlling iso and exposure.
What we have in oos is just app level manual control. Same thing is there in CM13 with snap camera, you can see "ISO control","exposure","white balance" in menu.

Yea well never used the cam on oos. Just read somewhere. Flashed cm13 in 2 days of using this phone. Thanks anyways!

Well no actually, the stock OOS camera allows complete manual control over the cameras focus, aperature, etc. OnePlus uses a camera driver in the stock OS that they haven't made public so while it has manual control, no other developers can tap into it or use it in their roms.

XZ1 Manual Camera Settings

Hello,
Can anyone with phone check what options there are to setup in manual camera. I have 4 on my xzp, and I see XZ1 have 5, I guess they move ISO now where is WB SS, etc...
Can anyone also confirm that you can change SS and ISO in manual without ISO going back to auto if u change shutter speed. I was happy on my XZP to see shutter speed settings but if i change it, then ISO is on auto
Also did they allow more shutter speed then 1s on xz1?

The first option on the left means reset.
can anyone confirm if you can shoot in raw with third party apps?

The current firmware doesn't allow the usage of the RAW format.
