Shoot RAW

Hi there,
As the Camera2 API isn't in the last release of lollipop for the note for (I own the F - European version of it), I was wondering if it was possible to allow Raw (DNG) shooting with a custom ROM or anything else... What do you think ?
Thanks !

I think that no at this moment ......I have N910F too, I swapped from N910C before a 2 days but I am very disapointed with camera on F version. There is a too much noise ....photos from C version are sharper.
I sell my Exynos variant due to CM12 possibility on SnapDragon.

AFAIK the n910f and the n910c share exactly the same sensor. So there shouldn't be any difference. Right on your camera's glass Samsung usually put a little piece of flake which you might want to peel off. Maybe that's what makes your shots blurry. Other than that, it might be software settings (or post-processing in case you are on a different version). But the shots should be identical. Cheer on, at least the Snap805 is the better chipset. This big.LITTLE farce is a joke and on the development side you know Samsung will hold their source codes for months before making them publicly available. I have the n910c and it's not that great.

Cameras Sensor Strange?? Must check

So i decided to check my camera sensor on my N910C Running erobot 2.0 Marshmallow
This is what i found out
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8-6e_5n2ovpV0xSLVFaQ0pILXc
I have 2 Sensors in one device
Is this suppose to happen?
Some sites say that the Back Camera Of the Exynos variant should be Samsung's SLSR / ISOCELL
The SOny IMX240 Should be on the Snapdragon.
What do you guys think

Interesting.

Note 4 - android 6.0.1 and RAW DNG picture 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?

Camera review

All the reviews I've read so far have compared the 6t camera to the Pixel 3, Note 9 and Apple X. Can somebody please review it against a camera in it's price range?

Wouldn't it be exactly like the 6 with new software? I am assuming because it is the same hardware

Does it have a time limit on 4k60 recording like my s9 or is that just a Samsung limitation?

No more Sony camera sensors on Qualcomm version?!

Last years all the S and Note versions use to have Sony IMX sensors on Qualcomm version and SLSI (Samsung low quality sensors) on the Exynos version.
I just test a Qualcomm version from China and I was very surprised to discover with Aida64 that Samsung uses the low quality sensors even on this Qualcomm version, only the selfie sensor is IMX from Sony.
I just wonder, in US version with Qualcomm it's the same? Becouse, I really like the IMX sensors vs Samsung ones
Just check it with AIDA64 and let us know pls. Thank You!

Confirmed...slsi on US model.

Same on Canadian

You shouldn't call them low quality, Sony is actually quite behind hardware-wise and Samsung is getting rid of it for a reason, you can very well expect the next Pixel to have an ISOCELL sensor too, it would really do wonders with good processing.
Many manufacturers are sourcing these sensors from Samsung, Apple includes them in their latest phones too
But yeah, the only Sony IMX Qualcomm S10s have is the front camera, everything else is a proprietary upgrade.
I have an Exynos and I'm very happy with the rear camera, disappointed with the front one, it's applying a pink-clear effect on skins no matter the settings and I just don't come from a culture obsessed with automatic photo editing to make faces look like plastic, I want total accuracy and I hope they give up on the Asian autophotoshop bull**** with future updates, I don't need that.
