History

Why use it

  • Manual exposure/ISO/shutter where supported; anti‑banding, grid, and level; external mic support; no analytics.

Safe use

  • Review geo‑tagging settings; disable location if not needed; prefer external storage only if encrypted.

Limits

  • Feature availability depends on device camera HAL; some OEM features are not accessible to third‑party apps.
