RAW photos on fairphone 4 not possible or available?

[mknaranja]

Hi,

I got a fairphone 4 which should be able to shoot RAW photos as I understood. I know how my girlfriend can activate RAW on her fairphone 3 but on mine either I do not find it out something is broken…
I also already tested Open Camera where there is no raw option…

How to resolve?

Thanks,
Martin

Hi have you looked at Open Camera > Camera API > Camera2 API ?

It should be possible at least with open camera

Shooting in RAW format

For completeness sake, I thought I’d let everyone know what I’ve done about a camera app. As a photographer I do like the RAW files, even though it’s only photos on a mobile phone. It gives me options for more creativity when I don’t have my camera with me. I’ve decided on Open Camera - free, no ads, open source. Its UI does need some work, but its not bad. One of the really good things about it is that it saves the RAW/DNG files into your camera roll, where I have OneDrive set up to back them …

Thanks, that resolved the issue for OpenCamera. It was not indicated in the FAQs etc that you have to choose the API manually.

However, a good question would be how to do for the standard camera of FP4 as with fairphone 3, the default camera app can also do.

On the default FP3 camera app go to the PRO option there is an icon top right (RAW) indicating that [dng] is the deafult

This was not implemented (so far)

Yes, but this button is not there for FP4

[anon9989719]

Ah! Apologies I picked up on the FP3 and didn’t get that you were referring to the default camera app on the FP4

You mean there is no PRO option on the FP4 or just no RAW option?

[mknaranja]

No raw. Please see the screenshot in my first post. Basically, it’s ok for me with OpenCamera but I thought once asked the question we could maybe also find the solution for the default app in this thread
