[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
Sure.

First, you have to go into settings (of Open Camera) and put option "Use Camera2 API" on. This option is at the bottom of the front page of settings.

Second, choose any ISO value besides ISO auto (5th icon from left). Now under Exposure compensation icon (3rd from left), you have two sliders. One for ISO and one for shutter speed.

Open Camera certainly is not the most intuitive or robust camera app, but its the only camera app that actually has full manual control over exposure on Z5 (that i know of).

How is the autofocus, picture quality and shutter lag with open camera?
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Autofocus is terrible using camera button as the camera will not lock upon focus but just keep struggling. Picture quality is about the same as 8MP on stock. Shutter lag is worse than stock - touching the capture button means it will autofocus first and then take the shot which takes nearly 1 second. Why can't any app just pre-focus and capture the picture as-is?

I also tried a demo Z5 at a Bell store. It seemed to be able to capture more images by repeatedly pressing the physical button compared to mine (perhaps because it was saving to internal storage as well), but the shutter lag is still there. Upon capture, the camera will still skip a frame and then capture the image instead of capturing the immediate image. While this is not a huge problem for landscapes or non-moving objects, it is unacceptable for action shots. It's REALLY obvious if you are riding a car or train. The S7 has virtually instantaneous capture and can shoot over 20fps.

Does anyone know if third party apps ever fixed shutter lag on the Z to Z3, without rooting?
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo16:
If FV-5 worth buying now?
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
In my opinion, no. Only if you appreciate live (RGB) histogram. In low-light, seeing the shutter value is helpful in theory, but as you can't control ISO, there's really is nothing you can do with it.

Oh, and of course the FV-5's user interface is light years ahead of Sony's pathetic UI. If that's important to you, then you might see the value in it.
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo_car16:
Is the image processing and shutter lag just as bad or worse?
[Xperia Z5 General] N0whereMan:
Image processing is about the same, shutter lag seems to be a bit worse on FV-5. No significant differences in this regard. FV-5 just crashes quite often, that might make you miss some moments.
[Xperia Z5 General] Lambo_car16:
That's a shame. Might buy it anyway. Is it possible we can contact the developer to fix some issues?
[Xperia Z5 General] tOrNadO™:
In my experience, its always been stock camera on a xperia which works well. Isn't it obvious? Only 8mp restriction for 3rd party camera apps, along with very less support by the app developers as well.. Most camera apps either crash or don't work well. Camera fv-5 is good, but still i'd prefer stock camera. Although i've to admit i miss the camera zedadas mod from my z2, which gave some good unlocked features.
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Any improvements in .224 (6.0.1)? I saw some people claiming the shutter lag is a bit better but I don't if it's true or not. People said shutter lag was much better for 6.0 but I think it's more or less the same.

I prefer Camera ZOOM FX (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=slide.cameraZoom) over Camera FV-5. Manual control is there and the UX is way better.

HDR pics (3 exposure shots) come out nice too.

It's limited to 8 MP though.

Also, check this out:

It allows more scenes and ISO control past 8 MP in stock camera, v1.0.C.1.2 though

It made such claim about its camera and yet the camera app is just a bit rubbish, lacks setting and feature. After update there is only 23mp 20mp and 8mp resolution left and u cannot even change scene in the manual mode.

Really WTF Sony?
[Xperia Z5 General] viperc:
I think the scene in manual mode can only be changed if you leave the resolution at 8mp. But I agree that the manual mode really has limited options. :(

[Xperia Z5 General] WinterSkies:
Hi guys, sorry if it is slightly OT here, but I have a feeling that the "re-focusing issue" has been improved in the latest camera update (1.0.C.2.7). Do you think so as well?

It used to work like this: if you tapped to fix the focus then pressed the on-screen shutter button, the lens would go through the whole focus range again before finally taking the shot. It was quite annoying because the whole point of pre-focusing is being able to immediately shot when the right moment comes. Now it seems to me that the phone almost does not refocus when you are in good lighting conditions, so the "shutter lag" is far shorter. It still refocuses quite slowly it in low light though.

Has anyone had a similar feeling?
[Xperia Z5 General] langeveld024:
About the low light conditions u say, that's automatic shutterspeed setting longer exposure for u https://youtu.be/6GsdxkgC51s
[Xperia Z5 General] FYLin21:
Yes, because the live feed is cranking up the ISO to give you a smooth frame rate, yet it is not choosing that ISO and shutter speed for the actual image. Even in extremely low light, the camera maintains 30fps on its live feed, but in most other cameras, the frame rate will lag or underexpose the scene because the live feed image is a pre-set shutter speed. This has its advantage for low light but the lag is still apparent in daylight conditions - maybe because the shutter speed is being determined only when you press the shutter.

I understand there will always be a considerable delay going from full shutter press to capture, if the AF is not in a continuous mode - the same holds true for DSLRs not in AI SERVO mode - and I can live with that because I nearly always half-press on my DSLR. But going from the half-press to full press there should be virtually no shutter lag, especially on a digital interface. What really annoys me is on the Z5 you can even see the image pause and seemingly capture the frame, but then it skips. It's not a huge delay (maybe about 1/30 or 1/20 of a second), but highly impractical for action shots - I could remove my hand out of the frame in that time.

For the Xperia X series, it seems they are still going for the same general system, but have done some speed optimizations. They are also boasting 0.6s capture time from standby. It is unlikely they will bring all these optimizations to the Z5, since some of it is probably hardware based. Despite this, a few reviewers have noted the shutter lag still. Overall, Xperia cameras are still a far cry from other phone cameras that use Sony sensors in terms of speed.

I never had much problem with re-focusing, but it's still a lot worse with third party apps. Sometimes the shutter button will not respond at all. Is it not possible for developers to program the image to capture without refocusing?

Also, I went over the the other video you filmed to test the shutter lag on stock without disabling thermal - I think it's the same on mine, so not a significant improvement.
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
It starts to make me really angry.

I mean why the f.... Sony is blocking healthy development of the camera on this phone.

Seriously, NO CUSTOM camera actually works with this phone.

Things like long shutter speeds are still not working. Apps usually crash.

Because Sony blocks it.

I would love to know if it's the sensor's hidden limitations OR it's just an idiotic policy

not to be better than regular digital cameras.

I mean ALL the other manufacturers support most of the manual modes,

and Sony still limits this. They did it even on QX series...

I don't know. Samsung does miracles in this regard. WTF.
[Xperia Z5 General] EQ2000:
It's just stupid decisions. They act like they are holding the secret to curring cancer in their phone so they lock the framework and algorithms. I also think business plays a role and samsung has great interface but produce potatoes with painted colors compared to Xperia Z1+ line. "Insta-rape" of photos, Samsung™. :cool:
[Xperia Z5 General] Allek84:
Yes,Samsung have manual mode but for nothing in real usage.Sony Z5 took better pictures even with such little manual settings.Outdoor photos are better on Z5 even from S7 ho has preoversharpening details.

[Xperia Z5 General] EQ2000:

[Xperia Z5 General] mdwh:
I'm the developer of Open Camera, unfortunately I regularly get emails about the lack of 23MP, and I have to tell people there's not much I can do (at least, as far as I know) :(

It's interesting that some 3rd party camera apps are now supporting it, but I'm not sure how. Open Camera obtains available photo resolutions by (depending in API):

Old Camera API: via https://developer.android.com/refer...era.Parameters.html#getSupportedPictureSizes()

Camera2 API: via https://developer.android.com/refer...treamConfigurationMap.html#getOutputSizes(int) (I'm not yet using getHighResolutionOutputSizes(), that's on my todo, that was only introduced in Android 6.)

Btw, I've now fixed problems with physical shutter buttons in Open Camera (at least, I've had people telling me it's working better, I don't have a Sony device to test with).

Note that Open Camera does support continuous focus mode (was added in May), this should be quicker? I don't know how well it works on Sony devices though!
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
Your camera doesn't support shutter speed control, does it?
[Xperia Z5 General] doministry:
From my experiments with some manual cameras out there, I think I understand some aspects of Sony's control over shutter speed etc.

I mean - with a very fast shutter speeds the sensors on smartphones cannot hold well the higher ISO.

That means if you want to have a steady lowlight shot and use fast shutter speed + higher ISO, the shot will be full of artifacts...

It's a compromise, the sensor has it's limitations...

So the only thing I'm missing here is long shutter speed ctrl like 10 seconds or more. For some night effects.

I didn't find any custom camera which would give me better results than the default Sony one.
