still substantially weaker (especially on Linux, where it can hardly be considered a

sandbox at all) and lacks support for isolating sites from each other rather than only

<h2>Camera</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Camera app included in GrapheneOS is very basic and can't take full advantage
|
||||
of the hardware. It doesn't offer much in the way of configuration. In the long term,
|
||||
it's going to be replaced. In the short term, there are other apps available providing
|
||||
more capabilities and better support for taking advantage of the hardware.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The Pixel 2 and Pixel 3 (but not the Pixel 3a) have a Pixel Visual Core providing
|
||||
a hardware-based implementation of HDR+. HDR+ captures many images and intelligently
|
||||
merges data across them, taking into account motion, etc. It substantially improves
|
||||
the quality of images, especially in low light. This is used transparently for third
|
||||
party apps that are compatible with it, and there isn't an explicit switch to turn it
|
||||
on or off for most of them. An example of a compatible app is Open Camera's default
|
||||
configuration, or Open Camera with the Camera 2 API and other settings (including the
|
||||
the various knobs / toggles outside of the settings menu) left alone. In general, HDR+
|
||||
will work transparently in most apps as long as they keep things simple and use a good
|
||||
minimalist approach to taking pictures. It should work transparently in most messaging
|
||||
apps, etc. with internal support for taking pictures.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In addition to supporting HDR+ via the Pixel Visual Core, or similar features on
|
||||
other devices with the same constraints, Open Camera offers advanced configuration and
|
||||
various advanced features. Make sure to enable the Camera 2 API in the settings, which
|
||||
should be the default, but the app doesn't have a great user interface / user
|
||||
experience. You probably don't want to use the traditional HDR feature in the app.
|
||||
That's not HDR+, but rather captures 3 images and merges them in a way that isn't at
|
||||
all intelligent and causes a lot of blur and distortion. The HDR+ implementation can
|
||||
actually benefit from the camera not being completely steady as it's smart enough to
|
||||
match up the picture and it provides it with more data vs. a traditional HDR
|
||||
implementation where it essentially doesn't work without a tripod and is not really at
|
||||
all useful on a phone unless you actually have that for it.</p>
