#camera settings

Android's latest update brings a new camera API that can take full RAW images. To further make use of this improvement is the new app Manual Camera that basically allows for a full-on manual tweaking right on your smartphone. Manual Cam has a clean layout with all the necessary settings neatly tucked on the sides giving you a clear view of your image. With these tools you can fiddle with the following settings on full manual: Shutter speed Focus distance ISO White balance Exposure compensation The Android app also lets users lock the settings or use the rotating wheel to adjust the parameters. They can set the maximum screen brightness, enable gridlines, mute/unmute tones, set the timer, turn on GPS for geo-tagging, and capture RAW (DNG) format -- straight from the interface of the Camera app. A reader emailed in asking for advise on which dSLR camera to get with a budget under Php40,000.
