aNewDomain — Camera FV-5 for Android is a professional-level photo editing tool for serious photographers. Available on Google Play for $3.95, it makes DSLR-like manual controls available on your smartphone.
Camera FV-5 is brimming with features and offers you complete control over every possible parameter of your raw photographs. It includes settings for ISO, focus, light metering, white balance and exposure compensation.
The viewfinder display shows both exposure time and aperture, and the stops are also easily visible. The app also offers custom EV shifting and true exposure bracketing.
I especially love the built-in intervalometer. Want to create a timelapse? Need some support for long exposure shots? This app includes these and much more. That why it’s my choice today for aNewDomain’s app of the day.
And the best feature of Camera FV-5: the sophisticated electronic viewfinder. Choose from nine crop guides, 10 composition grid overlays and a live RGB hitogram.
It’s pretty cool, too, that Camera FV-5 for Android lets you permanently avoid awkward scene modes. Tons of manual control adds up to serious professional level post-processing capabilities.
