<p>Google Camera can be used with the <a href="#sandboxed-play-services">sandboxed
Play services compatibility layer</a> and can take full advantage of the
available cameras and image processing hardware as it can on the stock OS.
Other camera apps could provide the same image quality and features but there
aren't any comparable alternatives in practice. HDR+ is enabled by default and
is a much more advanced replacement for HDR taking bursts of pictures and
intelligently combining those which is what makes the image quality so much
higher, especially for low light. The Night Sight feature is essentially the
same thing, but with the light of the picture unnaturally increased through
combining the data.</p>
available cameras and image processing hardware as it can on the stock OS.</p>
<p>We aim to reduce the benefits of Google Camera compared to GrapheneOS
Camera over time, especially on Pixels. Many features of Google Camera will
end up being available for GrapheneOS Camera in the next year or so via
CameraX extensions including more aggressive HDR+, Night Sight and Portrait.
Video features such as Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), slow motion and
time lapse are likely further away than within the next year. These videos
features could potentially be provided via CameraX vendor extensions or could
be implemented via our own post-processing of the video output. Panorama,
Photo Sphere, Astrophotography, Motion Photos, Frequent Faces, Dual Exposure
Controls, Google Lens, etc. aren't on the roadmap for GrapheneOS Camera. Video
refresh rate configuration and H.265 support should be available for
GrapheneOS Camera in the near future via CameraX improvements along with DNG
(RAW) support in the further future.</p>
