Your phone already has a serious camera.

The stock app hides it behind beauty filters, extra sharpening, and HDR the sensor never asked for. F64 talks to the hardware through Camera2 so you get the raw file, the real exposure, and cinema-style video — then you decide.

Photos from the sensor

RAW DNG, DNG+JPEG, or JPEG per shot. Full-sensor 4:3 or 16:9, labelled with the real resolution. No RAW on this camera? F64 falls back to a low-processing JPEG with noise reduction and sharpening off.

Cinema on the rest of Android

The same ISO, shutter, focus, and white balance for video. Profiles: standard SDR, HLG HDR, and an S-Log3-style log curve where the encoder allows it. 24 / 25 / 30 / 60 fps — the REC bar shows the rate the file actually has.

A viewfinder that is a camera

Manual ISO and shutter. Tap-to-focus or a focus distance slider. White balance presets plus Kelvin. Flash, torch, grid, zoom dial, front and back. What you set is what the request sends.

Auto that prefers grain over blur

Auto stills meter the scene and keep shutter inside a gyro-measured blur budget. Handheld night shots take controlled grain instead of smear. No beauty filter. No extra sharpening.

Questions

Does it shoot true RAW?

Yes, as DNG from Camera2 RAW_SENSOR when that camera advertises it. Many flagships and mid-range phones do; many budget phones do not. F64 checks at runtime and falls back instead of crashing.

Is this only for Pixel and Samsung?

No. Blackmagic Camera is excellent and limited to those brands. F64 is built for the rest of the Android fleet — Realme, Xiaomi, OnePlus, Nothing, Motorola, and anything else on Android 10+ with a Camera2 HAL.

Where do the files go?

Photos land in DCIM/F64, videos in Movies/F64. No account. Nothing is uploaded by the app.

Are there ads?

The app is free. The in-app gallery may show ads. Capture itself is not an ad surface.

What does F64 mean?

f/64 is the small aperture that Group f/64 used as a manifesto: sharp, unmanipulated photographs. The app is named for that idea, not affiliated with the historical group.
