Publisher Description
ProCamera Lite gives you a simple yet functional camera application, but requires no special permissions, nor redundant features for those without support for Google's "Camera2" API. The app works best on Samsung phones as most support all the modes and features in this app.
→ For phones with Android 6 Marshmallow, please see note below
This camera application was created with picture quality and minimal processing in mind. Most phones do not yet support Google's Camera2 API, and thus can only save JPG files. In addition to this, by default in-driver artificial sharpening and noise reduction are enabled further reducing the quality the resulting picture by adding halos and give an oil painting appearance to highly detailed areas.
This app disabled all those enhancements. JPEG quality is set to 100, artificial sharpening/edge enhancement is disabled, picture size is set to maximum and noise reduction is also disabled (but can be (re)enabled in the app) thus retaining more natural grain.
Adjustable Exposure.
Defeatable built-in sensor noise-reduction.
No Twitter, Google+ or facebook integration.
No fisheye, cartoon or sepia filters.
* Due to the use of undocumented system calls, device compatibility CANNOT be guaranteed. The application may crash and/or some features me have no effect.
The app has been tested successfully on Samsung devices running ICS 4.0.2 and up. It may also work on a wider range of devices using CyanogenMod 9 and up.
* Pictures taken without noise reduction enabled may require retouching using an external app, especially with higher ISO settings. Processing on a PC can achieve far better results than the limited processing used in smartphones and tablets.
* Note: For devices using Marshmallow, a new permissions scheme has been added which this application does not yet fully support. As such, it will crash on launch.
Soon to be fixed.
