Open Camera is a camera app that, instead of trying to provide a lot of filters and special effects for your photos, offers a powerful camera that you can use anytime.
At first, it may seem that Open Camera doesn't have too many features beyond what is included in the default Android camera, but the truth is that it does have features. For starters, Open Camera takes up just 600 kilobytes, while Google Camera takes up over 20 megabytes. Plus, Open Camera shows you how much free space is on your Android device at all times.
As far as photo options go, Open Camera offers almost everything you could want in a camera: timer, zoom options, stabilizer, touch focus, photo modes, ISO, etc.
In short, Open Camera is a great camera app that may not have a lot of filters and other features, but it has plenty of other things. Its features are such that it offers a reasonable alternative (without ads) to the default Android camera.
Take photos like a pro.
Sometimes, carrying a bulky camera with you can be a hassle, especially when travelling. Luckily for you, Open Camera is a very handy app that you can install on your phone so that you don’t have to carry a bulky camera with you. It will also let you capture high-quality photos and record cinematic videos with just your mobile device.
Open Camera works like a professional hand-held camera with the available guide grid, white balance adjustment, and brightness settings. Another great thing about this app is that it maximizes your camera’s capabilities with its different picture-taking modes. For example, the Focus mode will help you avoid taking blurry photos while the Scene mode will allow you to take vibrant pictures of landscapes and scenery. These adjustments and effects can also be used while taking videos. To make things easier for its users, Open Camera has a flexible lock orientation feature and GUI that will let you easily take photos from any possible angle. Other additional and unique features offered by Open Camera include the ability to take photos using voice commands or other recognizable sounds like clapping. To learn more about this app, don't hesitate to download it on your phone. Starting a career as a professional photographer doesn't always require huge and space-consuming digital cameras.
