Xperia X Camera2 API support - Sony Xperia X Questions & Answers

I'm very much interested in the camera capabilities (esp. manual video controls) of Android phones. Thinking about getting the Xperia X as an additional phone . Can anyone with a Sony Xperia X tell me what Camera2 API support level the X has? ('Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' or 'Level 3') There are two free apps on the PlayStore which you can use to test: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link as I'm a newbie here).
Thanks in advance

According to the app, the Xperia X (F5121) has Full support level, although no RAW capture, though

That's great thanks! Raw is less important to me, I'm more interested in manual exposure capabilities.

[Q] Camera RAW image capture?

Looking for a RAW capture with Android camera.
I am trying with Xperia X10 camera to capture RAW image, now it has got Android 2.3.3 and APIs are available.
Couldn't get it though.... Can anybody shed a light on it?
Also, is there any API or lib or .so which I can play around... I promise I will share all my knowledge here
Thanks in advance.
I second this request I would also like to shoot raw photos on my droid. I dont like JPG its an awful format.
I think it is related to camera hardware and not software. As I know, only one windows mobile phone from HTC can shoot and save as raw.
If you want to have a better quality, you can increase the image quality or just keep it as 100% original in media_profile.xml
Accidentally sent from my Nexus S using XDA Premium App
Its likely a low level driver thing. Which like modems, the manufacturers don't release the source for.
+1 on this.
shooting raw will be a super feature for photography savvy users.
especially that almost all in-phone processings are extremely suck.
Raw capture is availible on micromax a90s android 4.2.2 in engineering mode
Has there been any update on this. I see heaps of articles of google announcing this but thought itd be out now.

As far as i know, only android lolipop has the ability to capture raw images. You have to upgrade to android 5.0 to capture raw image from your phone's camera. Its android Lcamera. It is an experimental app and will work fine if the hardware of our camera supports all the functions of camera.

Moto Z Camera2 API support level

I'm currently thinking about getting a 2nd backup phone in addition to my LG V10. One of the things important to me is the Camera2 API support level of the device as I'm keen on using pro video recording apps that utilise this API for more advanced controls (manual exposure etc). I've already made some inquiries about the Sony Xperia X in the corresponding forum here but one of the alternatives I'm considering is the Lenovo Moto Z. There are two free apps on the PlayStore that can test the Camera2 API implementation of an Android device: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link as I'm still a newbie). Would anyone with a Moto Z be so nice to quickly run one of the two probing apps and tell me about the 'Hardware Level Support Category' of this phone? (categories are: 'Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' and 'Level 3').
Thanks in advance!

From what I learned in another thread the Z Play does not have full Camera2 API support. Therefore it will either be "Limited" or "Legacy". Depending on the device though "Limited" might be enough if you are only after longer shutter speeds for photos but I can't say for sure. You might wanna find my thread in the Z Play forum (title is something like "Does FilmicPro run on the Z Play") and ask someone there to run a Camera2 probe app.

Camera2 API and EIS

Hi, will it get Camera2 API support & EIS soon? At least in Android P?
Or can we enable/add Camera2 API support & EIS in the phone?
Maybe it isn't possible if we can root first

Photography RAW on Lollipop

Hi;
I have Meizu MX4 Pro, Android 5.1..1; Flyme 6.2.0.0G.
Main camera is Sony 20.7 MP. There are some conflicting articles about the Android version, which should support RAW photography, and at the other side, lack of RAW photography support from Meizu side.
The must for the RAW photography on android is the OS version 5.0 Lollipop and camera2 API. It seems that Lollipop is not the same, standardized for all phones, some have camera2 API, some not.
Have to ask if anybody had use RAW photography with this phone / camera - is it possible to upgrade the system to get the feature working?
Thank you.

Camera2api Support

Hi All,
I've been eyeing this device for a while. Always been a big fan of LG but a little disappointed they exited the market (and afaik left V60 support out to hang). One question I had on my mind was how well supported the cameras were for 3rd party camera APKs, is it possible for a owner to share a report from this app?
Camera2 API Probe - Apps on Google Play
Probe Android Camera2 API capabilities on your phones.
play.google.com
All the way at the bottom of the first screen of the app is the share button, it generates a simple link URL reporting what cameras it can see. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks! Good to see Level 3 support on all the cameras like the old models. 4624 x 3468 must be the native resolution of the main sensor (16MP after quad bayer), so I guess they upscale for the "8K video feature" like a lot of other phones with quad bayer sensors.
