Open Camera

If you're on the hunt for a versatile and feature-rich camera app for your Android device, look no further than Open Camera. This completely free app opens up a world of photography possibilities with its extensive range of features designed to enhance your capturing experience.

One of the standout features is the auto-level option, which ensures your photos are perfectly level, no matter how you hold your device. Delve deeper into your camera's capabilities with support for various scene modes, color effects, white balance, ISO settings, exposure compensation and lock, and even a "screen flash" for selfies. Capture stunning HD videos and take advantage of remote controls like a timer with an optional voice countdown and an auto-repeat mode with a configurable delay.

For those creative shots, you can trigger the camera remotely by making a noise. Customize your experience with configurable volume keys and a user-friendly interface. If you're into attachable lenses, the upside-down preview option is a handy feature. Overlay grids and crop guides to perfect your composition, and utilize optional GPS location tagging (geotagging) for photos and videos, complete with compass direction for added detail.

Add personal touches to your photos with date and timestamp, location coordinates, and custom text. You can even store date/time and location as video subtitles in .SRT format. For privacy-conscious users, there's an option to remove device exif metadata from your photos.

Explore creative photography with panorama mode, including front camera support, and HDR with auto-alignment and ghost removal. Exposure Bracketing further expands your creative control. Open Camera also leverages the Camera2 API for manual controls with optional focus assist, burst mode, RAW (DNG) file support, camera vendor extensions, slow motion video, and log profile video.

Enhance your images with noise reduction, including a low light night mode, and dynamic range optimization modes. Use on-screen tools like a histogram, zebra stripes, and focus peaking to fine-tune your shots. Focus bracketing mode is another powerful tool in your arsenal.

What sets Open Camera apart is not only its robust feature set but also its commitment to being completely free and ad-free within the app itself. The developer only runs third party ads on the website, ensuring an uninterrupted user experience. Plus, Open Camera is open source, inviting transparency and community contributions.

Please note that some features might not be available on all devices due to hardware or camera limitations, Android version, and other factors. Before using Open Camera for critical events like weddings, it's advisable to test it on your specific device.
