Description
Welcome to Candela Camera!
The Story Behind Candela Candela Camera was born out of a desire to fix the "fun" Android camera experience. For too long, users have dealt with camera apps that cut corners, bombard you with ads, and focus on quantity of features rather than overall quality.
Why Candela? Candela is built to satisfy those of us who love stylistic photos, whether that means utilizing film simulation, digicam aesthetic, or just nostalgia looking images. Candela moves beyond the typical, safe features phone in copycat, low-effort apps; Candela has a separate process built in for most major manufacturers, tailoring the experience, features and output based on the device you are using. Candela also features a double exposure mode which mimics the behavior of real film; Highlights "burn in" from the first exposure while the shadows become windows for the second exposure to appear.
Support the Project Enjoy Candela for free with my favorite 'Nordic Negative' preset. While completely optional, Candela Premium unlocks additional film-inspired presets and features, helping support the continued development of this project.
Features: • Film-inspired Presets: Capture photos with a timeless aesthetic inspired by classic film stock and digicams.. • High Performance: Built for speed and reliability across various Android devices. • Ad-Free Experience: No intrusive ads. • Free options - Use "Natural" and "Nordic Negative" presets for free. • Retro Frame, Half Frame, and Dual Exposure modes. • Candela Premium - Access additional camera presets carefully crafted to emulate classic film looks. Find a film simulation preset for every situation!
* New! Both shader based and LUT based presets are available. With Candela Premium, import and use your own LUTs to create limitless preset potential!

Everything seems nice, but just one problem, I use an oneplus 13r and instead of switching to the 2x telephoto, it uses 2x digital crop. I hope this is fixed soon. Edit: I did check it in ample lighting and it didn't switch, also there is no option to switch to the telephoto, thus I can only use the 2x crop.
