Android 5.0 comes with a new camera architecture converts the camera on the mobile device from a point-and-shoot camera into a camera with “DSLR-and-more” functionality. The Camera Service and HAL interface have been remodeled to provide a single mode of functionality with enormous flexibility and power to create compelling new use cases using a stream based architecture, per-frame control, a metadata channel, and availability of the highest resolution images of the device at a minimum of 30 fps. This talk will cover the new camera architecture, the difference between full and limited devices, and prominent use cases like capturing DNG images, and bracketed exposures.
