As the title says I've used a Galaxy S3 for a year and just now I jumped the wagon into the Note line but I used to take macro shots at a daily basis but with this camera there's just no option and in auto mode it isn't as macro as it should be, why is this feature gone? Do you guys have any solution?

Different Camera app.
I ditched Stock Camera because there's no Manual mode. (or if there is I haven't found it.) I'm a photographer, I don't need some idiot in a factory choosing the settings for me...
Ditto, sometimes I just want to do it by myself and this camera is neither for average Joe's or for us what app are you using?

ProCapture. It doesn't have an ISO setting (which is irritating), but it does have most other settings. I don't bother looking for an aperture or shutterspeed setting on a mobile device as those settings have little function on a smartphone, but for the everyday use, this app functions best out of all I've tried.
Plus it has a mute setting. It is rather slow at 13MP in terms of saving, though.
I've also got PhotoFX Zoom, ShotControl and FV5 installed.
Truth be told I haven't managed to find a perfect camera app for photographers. Funny how all of android is customisable and user-controlled... except the camera, which appears to be aimed at the average iSheep.
Focal (by Chainfire) looks promising, but is a rather unstable Beta.
If anyone has any suggestions, please do share. Spare me the 'effects-cameras' though. I know how to use Photoshop. Something that works with RAW files would be absolutely ideal.
I want to root my note 3 knox can goto hell! the only thing stopping me is that i take a ton of photos. I was wondering for those that have rooted there note 3's is the cm camera okay or is there a 3rd party app that will beat out the stock camera?
Rooting doesn't have anything to do with the camera. You will still have a same stock camera if you need it.

Not Rooted, but I am a photographer, so i'll comment on the 3rd party apps
Camera FV-5
ProCapture
CameraZoom FX
These are the more 'professional' camera apps. Personally I use FV5 and Procapture a lot, Zoom is my backup.
Just keep in mind they don't have the Stabilisation option that Stock has for night shots. But you get a lot more options in return, amongst which are shutter speed and ISO.
you can try Lenovo camera app in Themes and Apps secrion, or use DSLR camera apps.

So, we should use Stabilisation for NightShots mostly, right ?
Galaxy S3 had also few other nice modes, like Sunset. It took beautiful sunset photos, much better then Note3. Or maybe I should still experiment with the camera.
BTW, I do use 3rd party camera apps (same as yours), plus SnapIt.

Stabilisation was meant purely for low-light shots. Doesn't mean we can't use it creatively, but that was what Samsung intended it for. It even says so when you activate it.

I'm afraid those are all the options I avoid like the plague.. So I wouldn't know Perhaps someone else can be more helpful..
I'm starting this thread for owners of the Nexus 5x (maybe 6p too?) to share their results using third party camera apps that support manual controls. The most obvious one being Manual Camera.
The new Nexus phone both support the full range of manual controls, being:
- Shutter Speed
- Focus
- ISO
- White Balance
- RAW shooting
It should be interesting to see how much better results can be achieved by fully leveraging these controls, since the stock camera app is so barebones.
Post you photo samples, along with the settings you used! :laugh:
I would also be curious about an app that has built in video stabilisation

Some RAW images can be downloaded here. The same images developed using Adobe Lightroom with a bit of retouching can be viewed here. IMHO the quality is extremely good for a phone camera.
Third party camera apps aren't good as lg g4/g5 camera app.
Then the best thing would be to have a porting of this, because is the perfection of manual control camera apps!
But i can't do this. D:
Hey guys!!

Unfortunately, this device goes up to only 0.2 sec, nowhere near to 0.8 sec as the N5. The awesome camera almost makes up for it, but I'm sure Google could change this with a software update.

Have you figured out how to enable HDR in Proshot? I've dug through all the menu options but I can't seem to find out how to enable HDR.

At the moment HDR is only available on devices that support it at the hardware level (most Samsung and Moto phones). A planned feature is to add HDR compatible with all devices (I'm the dev )
No, I am not using it at all. Everything is perfect with default camera app.

Great to see the dev here! I'm confused though, because the Nexus 6P does support HDR mode.

Not natively. What you're seeing in (for example) Google Camera is a software implementation, where the exposure fusion + tone map is done by the app itself, as opposed to being done automatically by the hardware and then handing the HDR photo to the app. ProShot supports the latter, and has the pipeline set up for the former, I just need to decide on the best way to do the exposure fusion + tone map.

I've been using Manual Camera but just recently purchased Proshot. Right now I prefer Manual Camera, but I've been using it longer and am used to it's interface. Manual Camera has also never crashed on me but Proshot has crashed multiple times so that's a bit discouraging.

Take your time please. Love the native app's HDR quality, hope to see similar from ProShot. Thank you for interacting with the community, here and on reddit, that's the main reason I purchased your app. (It certainly wasn't the locked down demo! )
which app is best for image stabilization?
Most of the time I use stock google camera app. Its good for everything most of the time. HDR+ gives me dark photos. So I only use it when I am shooting in bright environment.
On special occasions, when I need DNG, I switch between Manual Camera (its interface is the best + DNG support) and A Better Camera (superb DRO implementation + DNG support) and FV-5 (only because I couldn't get a refund while still within 15 min return window. Asked Dev but never got a reply from him either). My main reason for getting and paying for all these apps was to get manual exposure controls like OPO but only to find out that N6P only goes upto 1/8000 - 1/5" as compared to 1/5000 - 60" (that is 60 seconds) on OPO. Bummer ... . One thing of note is that image quality stays the same. I haven't noticed any appreciable difference. ABC does offer sharper images and lot more detail when shooting with DRO enabled.
However N6P camera is not as open as N5 or OPO. See here for different cameras and the manual controls they offer.
I love the interface of FV-5
But it crashes and stops autofocusing a lot. I would love ProShot a lot more if it had a proper settings screen.

Any plans to add 120fps recording? I'm liking Pro Shot otherwise
First day with this fabulous device. Came from Note 7. The only disappointment so far is the camera, especially low light. I'm wondering if it's just the app itself. I downloaded LIGHTROOM and I'm getting better results but has anyone found another camera app that works well?

"A Better Camera" seems to take better quality pictures in low light (just testing it at my desk). It crashes on setting image size in the setting though (but not from the in app menu).
However, it's video function doesn't let you set resolution/rate and such like the built in app.

People seem to like "snap camera" app the most especially on low light. Maybe you can try this.

1) As a general point, low light photography is the weak point of the Axon 7 camera
2) You can try open camera. I have had good results. It is a free open source app
One thing i found just by mistake, was if you tap on where you would like to focus in low light conditions it will turn on nightmode and give slightly better picture.
Anyone able to extract the stock camera app?
Can u use Google camera ?

I was not impressed with Snap camera's low light performance. I actually think it's worse than the stock camera app.
Cinema fv-5 for better video
And the app called: 'a better camera' for better pictures

Yes, Google camera works great... Not any improvement in quality, but works great. Not like it did on the Nexus 6P (not able to swipe to change from camera to video, have to use swipe-out menu).
If you have the ZTE camera open, then try to open Google camera (or any other), you'll get an error the camera is in use by another app.

You should be able to extract it from any of the stock system partition images -- either direct from ZTE's files or from DrakenFX TWRP backup versions.

Oh well i had the axón 7 twise for over 2 weeks and its just too much the lack of development so I went back to the 6p got tired of waiting and waiting it's not my game

The default camera app already has the best options for low light. It's just a trade-off between shutter speed and grain. You can use SUPER NIGHT mode or ISO100 mode in manual to get less grain but you have to hold still to avoid blur. SUPER NIGHT seems to make a composite to reduce blur though.
Any sample shots using super night mode?
Zte is not using the CameraApi2 so you won't get the same quality with a 3rd party camera app.
I've personally found that HDR works quite well in low light, sometimes making the shot look brighter than real life. The only annoying part is keeping the phone steady to avoid blur.
