Features

Viewfinder display similar to DSLR allows seeing exposure time, aperture and stops display with EV and bracketing settings, in real-time. Exposure bracketing is full-fledged from 3 to 7 frames and has unlimited stops spacing plus custom EV shifting.

Long exposure support to take eye-catching night photos and light trails with long exposure times up to 30 seconds (requires Android 5.0+ compatible as well on the Samsung Galaxy Camera (1 and 2), Galaxy S4 Zoom and HTC One (M8). On Android 4.4 or older, long exposures lowers picture resolution to 2 or 1 MP, depending models). The app renders JPEG, true 16-bit RAW in DNG format (requires Android 5.0+ and a fully compliant Camera2 implementation.

Conclusion
The fresh API requires OEMs to bring up to date drivers, which some have not done, frustratingly. You’ll only see the innovative features on the Nexus 5 and Nexus 6 right now. Camera FV-5 Android app interface takes a little getting used to, but all these features come into view to be there and accounted for. The manual focus mode is, for the most part, a cool feature. On the other hand, it seems like auto ISO is not working in the approved manner on the Nexus 6. Either way, this is a large stride for Android photography. This camera application entirely avoids scene modes, as a replacement you get full manual control over all photographic parameters, just akin to as you do with a reflex camera, so you can eventually control all aspect of the picture, and rely on post-processing to the computer. So after your DSLR, you will by no means let pass a photo occasion yet again, being able to capture it with the nearer feeling to your DSLR as likely.
