I'm vivo x300 pro user. This app give me Natural Raw photos similar to Raw result. The DR in hight light is not as good as SRaw but in exchange it gives me many good filters that cover both xiaomi+oppo (M9 cc'd, Leica, Expand ratio.etc.). Edit: New Update I recommend you guys try out the latest update or dev version. Crazy once it hits sweet spot with the right setting. > Video recording is awesome, but abit blurred compare to Black magic Camera.

Excellent app with many options. And no AI. Photos just the way it is. Question to the developer: Is there a way to add time stamps into the photo? I remember that growing up the analog cameras all had time stamps.

I came from a OnePlus 12 and ended up with a Pixel 10 Pro, so I could use Graphene OS. The Pixel Camera software is atrocious and made me miss the Hasselblad tuning that OnePlus used. After trying to convince myself that the Pixel shots were fine, I gave Photon a shot, and it made me incredibly happy. My shots look very much like they did with my OnePlus 12 and don't have the dull, washed out profile that the modern Pixel experience has become. The flexibility of this all is outstanding.

I just want to take pictures of what I see. And want to be able to see the picture I took. Why is there no preview in pro? Completely useless easte of time.

Hello Photon Camera Support, I am using a Nokia 8.3 5G running Android. Photon Camera freezes whenever I take a normal photo or a Live Photo. The photos are not saved, and Live Photos also show green and gray glitches. I have tried force stopping the app, clearing the cache, checking permissions, and restarting my phone, but nothing has changed. Could you please help me fix this compatibility issue? Thank you.

Completely useless app. It makes the camera quality much worse, and the video recording constantly lags. I honestly don't see any benefit in using this app. It just ruins the image and video quality. Very disappointing.
