Open Camera

Hands down one of the best basic camera apps than stock. Sharp images, minimal to no processing if desired and good controls/options without being overwhelming. PROBLEM: Weird. Screen literally fades to black after touch to focus. Not all the time, most of the time. Thought it was an exposure issue in high contrast scenes but no, this is definitely an app anomaly. I took a screen recording to show this - dev, how can I show this to you? Using S25 Ultra.

Most of the functionality of this app relies on what the camera can do and that can be disappointing in its own right. However, there are two issues where the app falls short: One is the shutter time limitation of 0.6 s - far too short for high quality night time photography. The other is that when the camera is held upside down (which I have to do to attach it to a gimbal) the "right handed" menu is on the left (as is the left-handed menu). Not good. Also interval shooting is quite inaccurate.

Deleted. It may be a nice app for others, but the one reason I got it, it has failed completely at for the last time. It just can't seem to remember the setting for my flash storage and I've taken too many pictures now where it just sends the image into nowhere land instead of saving it to my card. Too many memories lost now. That has to be the one thing that a camera app cannot fail at. The second thing is to ensure as good a picture as possible with as little input from the user as possible. All I want is a simple click and shoot and save and don't use all the fancy bells and whistles of the app.

Over all I like this app. I find it easier to use than the stock app that came on my phone. So far my only complaint is that the photos are saved to a folder called OpenCamera, so other apps don't always find them. Changing the save location is rather cumbersome as you have to type in the location of where you want to save your photos rather than just navigating to the folder and selecting it. Other than that .. I am liking it.

Love it! Put on my Stylo 6. Just what I wanted. Control over my camera for taking times pictures. Offers so many features to set it up the way you want it for exposures, times, etc. I honestly do not see where it pops up ads yet. IF it does I really do not care. Worth it. Went thru a number of apps, deleted all of them. Kept this. May not do what some people want but does exactly what I want.
