Moto Z Camera2 API support level - Moto Z Questions & Answers

I'm currently thinking about getting a 2nd backup phone in addition to my LG V10. One of the things important to me is the Camera2 API support level of the device as I'm keen on using pro video recording apps that utilise this API for more advanced controls (manual exposure etc). I've already made some inquiries about the Sony Xperia X in the corresponding forum here but one of the alternatives I'm considering is the Lenovo Moto Z. There are two free apps on the PlayStore that can test the Camera2 API implementation of an Android device: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link as I'm still a newbie). Would anyone with a Moto Z be so nice to quickly run one of the two probing apps and tell me about the 'Hardware Level Support Category' of this phone? (categories are: 'Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' and 'Level 3').
Thanks in advance!

From what I learned in another thread the Z Play does not have full Camera2 API support. Therefore it will either be "Limited" or "Legacy". Depending on the device though "Limited" might be enough if you are only after longer shutter speeds for photos but I can't say for sure. You might wanna find my thread in the Z Play forum (title is something like "Does FilmicPro run on the Z Play") and ask someone there to run a Camera2 probe app.

That would be up to Sony - using the new API.
That or Google will eventually update the Google camera to start using it.
how can i bring RAW to z2???
It won't happen unless Sony allows the API to operate as it should but considering they include their own camera software I don't expect to happen until at least 5.1

Xperia X Camera2 API support

I'm very much interested in the camera capabilities (esp. manual video controls) of Android phones. Thinking about getting the Xperia X as an additional phone . Can anyone with a Sony Xperia X tell me what Camera2 API support level the X has? ('Legacy', 'Limited', 'Full' or 'Level 3') There are two free apps on the PlayStore which you can use to test: "Camera2 probe" and "Camera2 Probe" (sorry can't link as I'm a newbie here).
Thanks in advance
According to the app, the Xperia X (F5121) has Full support level, although no RAW capture, though

That's great thanks! Raw is less important to me, I'm more interested in manual exposure capabilities.

[Root] Camera mod for Moto X4.

This is a mod i have been using by quite some time, thought i should share it with other users of Moto x4. it's mostly made by @defcomg and i have only done xml and module part. you can see this has 4032x 2268 video support, it's very useful as you can record 2268p video and use google photos app's video stabilization on it to get stabilized 4k video.this produces much better 4k stabilized videos because you have 5% more resolution to work on compared to using it on normal 2160p video.
Features:
1: 2268p video mode for back camera.
2. 4k video mode for front camera.
3. 16mp mode front cam support for other camera apps.
4. Increased audio and video bitrate.
5. 1080p30/60fps hevc video support.
Requirements:
1: Magisk v16 or later.(so obviously it needs bootloader unlocked)
2: FreeDCam camera app play-store link
How to : -
1: Just install Enhance_MOTO_X4_camera.zip as a module in MagiskManager and reboot.
2: Open FreeDCam take a picture (so that it can create a freedcam folder otherwise you will get crashes in video mode) and follow attached screenshots to setup 2268p profile.
Credits: - @defcomg Donation Link .
Download : -
1. Enhance_MOTO_X4_camera.zip
2. Camera_ MX (incase someone wants fully working gcam)
13-14 downloads but not a single comment on how bad/good/working/not working it is ? this community is really dead lol.

magisk module doesn't work with supersu, so no.
This is great! Trying to find a way to get less compression in photos, just installed and poking around!
How does this compare to the various Gcam mods out there? Does this lose any features from the stock camera? Does it improve shutter speed?

this mod doesn't remove anything, only adds the features stated in op.
So does this improve the moto camera or just provide a better alternative? Also is this mod just for video improvement or photos as well. The Moto X4 camera is very disappointing to say the least. I have been using a modded version of the GCam and it is much faster and better quality than the moto camera but features like the wide angle are sacrificed.
Works Excellent...thanks...

Would it be possible to port it to Pie?
By the way, if anyone is wondering, this mod works fine on Oreo 8.1 as well as 8.0.

I think it would be good if it would be ported for pie. But I'm not a developer and unfortunately I can not. I hope somebody does it.

Camera2 API and EIS

Hi, will it get Camera2 API support & EIS soon? At least in Android P?
Or can we enable/add Camera2 API support & EIS in the phone?
Maybe it isn't possible if we can root first

Without unlocked bootloader it cant be possible. I heard somewhere that gcam Doesn't work with mtk soc.

Camera2api Support

Hi All,
I've been eyeing this device for a while. Always been a big fan of LG but a little disappointed they exited the market (and afaik left V60 support out to hang). One question I had on my mind was how well supported the cameras were for 3rd party camera APKs, is it possible for a owner to share a report from this app?
Camera2 API Probe - Apps on Google Play
Probe Android Camera2 API capabilities on your phones.
play.google.com
All the way at the bottom of the first screen of the app is the share button, it generates a simple link URL reporting what cameras it can see. Any help is appreciated!

Thanks! Good to see Level 3 support on all the cameras like the old models. 4624 x 3468 must be the native resolution of the main sensor (16MP after quad bayer), so I guess they upscale for the "8K video feature" like a lot of other phones with quad bayer sensors.
