6. Camera Zoom FX
RAW format capture, real time HDR, panorama photos in both horizontal direction and 360-degree, impressive time-lapse videos – all are on the feature list of Camera Zoom FX app. However, since these operations would take hardware resource – the phone this app would be downloaded in should be a powerful one, preferably flagship. Download.
5. Candy Camera
Candy Camera has become so popular because they have added a good number of interesting live filters. A smartphone user can see what their photo output turns out to be in real-time and the photo is captured in high resolution as well, unlike some apps that require the user to purchase the app. Candy Camera offers RAW support, although people may not need that feature.

To view photos in a VR helmet like the Google Cardboard, the Cardboard Camera may be used. User can take 360-degree photos even without a physical 360-degree camera.

There are lots of live stickers, emojis, filters etc. that user can just drop on the frame and capture a photo – that’s what attracts most users.

Not as feature-rich as a real DSLR camera, but this app adds manual camera control to a smartphone which doesn’t come with a camera with manual-control in the native app. Advanced options like ISO, white balance, exposure, histogram etc. are available in the interface.
