Open Camera 1.44.1

Open Camera 1.44.1 is released!

This introduces new features (requires Settings/"Use Camera2 API" to be enabled):

  • A new Noise Reduction photo mode, which takes a burst of images, aligns and merges to reduce noise.
  • A new Focus Bracketing photo mode, which takes a burst of images at various focus distances. This is intended to be used in conjunction with third party Focus Stacking software.
  • A new option to record video in a flat (log) profile. See this thread for more details.
  • Ability to control the device's post processing/filtering options (edge mode, noise reduction).

Other new features and improvements include:

  • "Ghost image", to overlay either last photo taken, or a selected image on your device. As well as being useful for aligning shots with previous photos, this could be used to create custom grids or crop guides.
  • Option to display an on-screen audio level when recording video.
  • Improved the behaviour of seekbars for manual ISO, shutter speed, white balance (they now select sensible "round" values).
  • Support for more high resolution photos in Camera2 mode (required for supporting the highest resolution on some devices, hopefully this should fix for Nokia 6 and Samsung Galaxy S6).
  • On Android 8+ when restarting video due to hitting maximum filesize, transition to new file is now seamless.
  • Video bitrate options for 150Mbps and 200Mbps (may not work on all devices).
  • Launching from intent now recognises request for front or back camera.
  • If an option that requires compass direction is set, the user will be asked to calibrate if the compass is unreliable.
  • You can choose feet instead of metres for GPS altitude on photo stamp and video subtitles.

Along with various bug fixes, performance improvements, updated translations. See history for a full changelog.

    I installed the 1.44.1 from Google Play and ran through it. Where is image stabilization and NR accessed?

      Image stabilization should be on by default for devices that support it. Or if you mean Open Camera's auto-level, it's on the "popup menu" (three dots icon), if supported by the device.

      Similarly NR is on the popup mode, but only available if Settings/"Use Camera2 API" is enabled. Even then, only high end devices support NR photo mode.
