Hi All:
Google will bring Android 5.0 Lollipop soon, with this update the new camera API version 2.0 will replace the old API, version 2.0 will bring the ability to take lossless RAW (DNG) pictures.
I'm wondering how that will work with the 4 MP Ultra Pixel camera !!
I know that the M8 is taking very cool pictures now, but how that will work in Lollipop update ?!
I hope to see camera improvement specially in over lighted environment in general with more manual controls over the M8 camera.
I hope camera & imaging experts provide us with their expectations regarding the M8 camera.

Please use existing threads were possible. There is an Android L thread here: Android L discussion thread that this could have discussed in.
Many thanks,

Hey folks!
As you may or may not know, Android Lollipop was recently announced with a lot of new features, and Sony mentioned it's coming to the Z1 as well. One of these features however is barely mentioned by news articles, but it could make a world of difference to the Xperia Z1, potentially making the device a whole lot better.
It's the new Camera API I'm talking about. If you bought the Z1 for its camera capabilities, don't you hate how you're unable to manually set exposure (contrary to the "adjustment" slider)? Don't you hate how quite a few high-end devices are now able to shoot in RAW format but you can't? Don't you hate how you cannot change manual focus? Fear not, for the new Camera API in Android Lollipop will add all of this, possibly even to our devices.
<check the features of this experimental L Camera app to see what features are working on Android Lollipop already for the Nexus 5>
Disclaimer: I'm not 100% sure all of these features will make its way to the Z1 of course - but in my eyes it's more likely than not that Sony will update their camera application for this.
Interesting. If this is correct, then Z1 will be way better in camera performance.
Can't wait to see what's new in Sony's firmware.
Yeah i',m really looking forward to RAW as well.
Hey Guys, Finally Lollipop has arrived with ART and material design . Post your pictures with Camera in KitKat then in Lollipop to compare and see if anything has changed.
Test it in both low light and good light conditions with before/after
Thank you all

Hi guys , these days i read that Samsung finally managed to add new camera API's that support RAW and long shutter speed in camera.
So is there any chance to port 5.1.1. on our phones and get these new features or get new API's and implement it :good:
Cheers :highfive:
It is impossible to port the RAW camera to Note 3. Our Camera HAL don't support it.
Why u think that ? As i know IMX135 support capturing RAW photos. It depends only on driver , which is included in new camera2 API's.
Hello, im surprise that international CM12.1 version do not have RAW/DNG support as OnePlus One did have.
Anybody knows if zuk z1 will have this function ?
It doesn't have 4k recording either.. CM keeps adding new stuff to their hardware, the OPO didn't have RAW support at first and was added when Lollipop came if I remember well. They may include it later but who knows
Yes, two weeks with that phone and realize its just cyanogen marketing.
Its not a phone for me. Cyanogen lacks of constistancy, why dng support with opo and not with z1, its strange since it is the same hardware.
Why a fingerprint with nom NFC ?
The update to marshmallow will be in 6 month, if there is.
I m going to sell it and go to nexus 5 (dng and update, but poor battery), innos d6000 (gorgeous battery, great camera with large pixel, think pour update) or honor 7.
Guys pls download the Paid version of camera Fv-5 and check whether it supports raw imaging on zuk z1... Post your results here guys ...

i wonder if they will add raw support?
To be fixed,
Is there ANY way to do RAW / DNG pictures on a note 4?
any kernel - rom - camera app (like camera fv-5)?
Is it really impossible for developper?
Theorically sensor Sony IMX240 and OS are compatible.
Thank you, there is nothing clear on the internet.
I have an answer from APP camera FV-5:
Hello,
The new camera driver (Camera2 API) that allows manual controls and capture in RAW, must be developed by the manufacturer. So far as we know, Samsung has never included it in the updates to models that did not have it on launch.
Best regards
Antonio

There is the same Sony IMX240 sensor on many samsung, maybe a developer can implement driver on note 4 ?
Or it's impossible?
