Open Camera

If you're looking for a versatile and completely free camera app for your Android device, look no further than Open Camera. This open-source app is packed with a variety of features that cater to both amateur and professional photographers alike.

One of the standout features of Open Camera is its auto-level option, ensuring your pictures are perfectly aligned no matter the angle. Dive deeper into your camera's capabilities with support for scene modes, color effects, white balance, ISO, exposure compensation/lock, and even a "screen flash" for selfies. Capture stunning HD videos and explore more creative options with ease.

Convenience is key with Open Camera's remote controls, including a timer with an optional voice countdown and an auto-repeat mode that you can configure to your liking. You can even snap a photo remotely just by making a noise. The app offers customizable volume keys and a user-friendly interface to enhance your shooting experience.

For those using attachable lenses, the upside-down preview option is a game-changer. Overlay grids and crop guides to perfect your composition, and opt for GPS location tagging (geotagging) for both photos and videos, which includes compass direction for photos.

Enhance your photos further by applying date and timestamps, location coordinates, and custom text, or even store date/time and location as video subtitles in .SRT format. Privacy-conscious users will appreciate the option to remove device exif metadata from photos.

Open Camera also supports panorama shots, including for the front camera, HDR with auto-alignment and ghost removal, and exposure bracketing. With support for the Camera2 API, you gain access to manual controls, burst mode, RAW (DNG) files, camera vendor extensions, slow motion video, and log profile video. Additional features like noise reduction (including low light night mode), dynamic range optimization, on-screen histogram, zebra stripes, focus peaking, and focus bracketing mode give you even more control over your photography.

Best of all, Open Camera is completely free and devoid of third-party ads within the app itself. The app's source code is openly available, ensuring transparency and community involvement.

Please note that not all features may be available on every device due to hardware, camera capabilities, or Android version differences. Always test the app before using it for critical events like weddings.
