Open Camera is a fully featured and completely free Camera app for Android phones and tablets.
OpenCamera is a camera application for Android, very useful for all those who have a phone whose native application for taking photos or recording videos is very poor, although not only these will be able to use it. It has a good number of functions, among which are those of image stabilization, but also other more minor ones such as the one that allows changing the appearance of the application so that it can be used by left-handed users.
OpenCamera also allows you to use manual controls if the phone supports them and has very interesting functions for those who want to record professional video, such as the support of some external microphone devices.
