Openness. Most cameras for android phones are proprietary because it’s easier to save money by not having a common controller for cameras and just using a proprietary blob.
Right. But the processing pipeline is not. If you took one single image from the sensor of the pixel or iPhone it would look like ass compared to what the processed one looks like. The poeple capable of writing those pipelines don’t typically do it for free.
I highly doubt there would be one. I imagine entire optics engineering departments are deployed to write that software. Phone manufacturers don’t usually write that software either; it’s more often than not licensed.
Fun fact, Sony’s phones break the camera software if you root them. I wonder how much of it is to protect their blobs.
Shutter times are ridiculous on mine. The preview will be perfectly focused already, but then it takes a good second to actually capture, by that time it might already have lost focus. Capture resolution aside, it’s literally faster to screenshot the preview. And got into an argument with a friend once because the shutter time made miss a shot.
Sorry. To be fair, I know I made more than that adjustment to get rid of the latency, but I don’t remember the exact changes. Though I’m pretty sure disabling RAW and changing to JPG was part of it.

But are the sensors not third party, generally Sony or zeiss?
Pure pain, similar with graphene, the pixel camera is a selling point and it is sbite on graphene.
There if a foss pixel camera app that does a good job though

Interesting, is it called the camera processing pipeline? Id be interested in reading some more and seeing if there is a foss project

OpenCamera? Used it for years but on my FP5 the auto brightness / exposure is only working 10% of the time 😭
Its just slow and blurry on pixel 10 pro

Have you tried changing this setting?
I was so excited I could finally solve it, but unfortunately, it already was set to Latency.
