Hi all, I've written a camera App that can be configured to access custom settings and features in the camera hardware.
It's designed for use by Photography enthusiasts to get the most they can from the android cameras. No post processing options like borders or filtering after the photo is taken. There are plenty of apps etc to do that sort of thing. This just attempts to allow the user as much control of the camera hardware as possible.
The problem is I can't get access to all the different hardware types out there to see what each device actually has in this area.
If anyone can help me out here that would be greatly appreciated. The app is for Android 4.0 and up.
What you would need to do it download the evaluation version from Google Play.
Have a quick look at the video tutorial on how to add "Custom Group Parameters" and "Custom Range Parameters". (There are in App help pages as well if you need them)
Have a play and see what extra options you can get working on your device.
Thanks is advance to everyone who can give me a hand on this one.
There are three options for additional settings that may be found.
As an example the following are the additional options for one device that has a few accessible extras.

- Extras for the standard options such as more Scene settings
- Custom Value/Group based parameters similar to the Focus and Flash etc (One value selected from a list of available options)
- Custom Range based parameters similar to the Exposure settings (a number setting within a valid range)
