FilCam: Pro Manual RAW Camera

FilCam is a full manual camera for Android — a pro RAW camera with DSLR-style controls. Set ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, white balance in Kelvin and manual focus by hand, then shoot RAW DNG on every frame. No ads and no watermark, ever. Manual controls, RAW DNG and film LUTs are free. The advanced drive modes — night, bracketing, focus stacking, the intervalometer, long exposure and light trails — are FilCam Pro: monthly, yearly with a 7-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime unlock. FULL MANUAL CONTROL ISO, shutter speed, exposure compensation, white balance and manual focus, each on its own ruler with a live readout. P, S, I and M exposure modes follow whatever you set by hand, exactly like a camera body: touch the shutter ruler and you are in shutter priority, touch ISO and you are in ISO priority, hold both and you are in full manual. RAW DNG — FREE Shoot RAW DNG alongside the JPEG, written from your device's own sensor calibration and ready for Lightroom, Camera Raw, Darktable or RawTherapee. The DNG keeps the sensor data before any processing, so your colour grading happens later, on a real editor, with every option still open. LONG EXPOSURE UP TO 30 SECONDS (PRO) Traffic, waterfalls, star trails, night photography. The exposure takes exactly as long as you asked for — nothing queued in front of it. Pair it with manual focus at infinity and a low ISO for clean night shots. DRIVE MODES Single, burst and a 3 or 10 second self-timer, so your finger is not what shakes the frame. With Pro: exposure bracketing at 3, 5 or 7 frames from 1/3 EV to 3 EV for HDR, focus stacking, a night mode, and an intervalometer for time lapse by frame count or by minutes. LIGHT TRAILS (PRO) Hold the exposure open for 15 seconds up to 5 minutes, or until you stop it, keeping the brightest part of every frame so headlights, traffic and stars draw streaks. The viewfinder shows the picture building up, the frame count and a run clock, and the screen stays awake while it runs. FOCUS AND METERING Continuous AF, single AF, macro, infinity and manual focus by distance. Matrix, centre-weighted and spot metering that follows your tap, plus AE, AF and AWB locks that hold a reading while you recompose. VIEWFINDER TOOLS Live RGB histogram, rule-of-thirds and golden-ratio grids, crop guides, an electronic level for horizons and architecture, and a DSLR-style readout showing ISO, shutter speed, aperture, focal length and exposure value. WHITE BALANCE Eight presets — daylight, cloudy, shade, tungsten, fluorescent and more — or dial the colour temperature by hand in Kelvin, from warm indoor light to open shade. FILM LOOKS AND COLOR GRADING Real 64³ film LUTs rendered live on the GPU and baked into the JPEG at capture time, so you see the look in the viewfinder before you press the shutter. Import your own .cube LUTs. The DNG always stays untouched. FILES YOUR WAY JPEG, HEIF or PNG at your own quality setting, custom filename patterns, your own output folder, optional geotag and complete EXIF. Photos land in your gallery, visible to every other app. HARDWARE KEYS Map the volume keys to shutter, exposure compensation or zoom, so you can shoot without looking at the screen. BUILT-IN PHOTO EDITOR Open any shot for LUTs, presets, exposure, contrast, curves and white balance, then export at full resolution. Save your own recipes and reapply them in one tap. WHAT YOUR PHONE CAN ACTUALLY DO Manual controls on Android depend on what your phone's manufacturer exposes through Camera2, and they vary by model. FilCam reads your sensor's real capabilities when it opens and hides anything your device cannot deliver, so you never meet a control that does nothing. PRIVACY FilCam asks for the camera permission to take photos, and for location only if you turn geotagging on. Your photos stay on your device — no photo is ever uploaded. The app sends anonymous usage and crash reports; switch them off in Settings.

Camera reliability: phones that refuse the full camera setup now fall back to a lighter one instead of a blank viewfinder, the camera retries when a phone briefly reports no lens, and fewer freezes on screens without the live camera.
