On Android you can enable a "raw" mode that will capture a dng file with much less processing. You can then adjust that raw file and render it to a jpeg according to your taste.
The dng will still have things like stabilization and multi-frame merging, but without those the image will almost always look horrible as others have explained.
- pmontra 5y agoHow can we enable raw mode? I'll looked into the settings of Camera but I found only a way to disable the scent optimizer.
- bigyikes 5y agoI use a (paid) app called Halide, but there are others out there too. I'm personally not aware of a way to do it with the native Camera app, but it would be cool if it exists.
- roywiggins 5y agoThe Samsung photo app offers to store RAW files (when shooting in Pro mode) as a setting. YMMV on others.

- justusthane 5y agoNewer iPhones can also shoot in raw.
- ehsankia 5y agoRAW is not quite what they want (I think). It's HDR+ that they need to disable. The latter takes multiple frames at different exposures and smartly merged them into a single photo, then applies extra color corrections on top. Taking RAW skips the last step, but you still get a merging of multiple frames. Disabling HDR+ will, I believe, take a single frame. Of course on a small phone sensor, the quality will be quite bad.
- mgraczyk 5y agoYeah I work on HDR+. Depends on the phone though, only certain phones run full HDR+, but they all do some sort of multi frame processing. If you were able to disable HDR+ and get a single captured frame, it would look horrible. You'd have to merge multiple frames yourself to get something decent. You can Google around for ways to do that but it will only work on a few phones.
- kuschku 5y agoThe way HDR+ merges stuff (which looks awesome, but something is just off, especially in darker environments) is actually why I bought a Sony α6300. Used it was cheaper with a good lens than a Google Pixel would have been (my Pixel 1 stopped getting updates after all) and the photos it takes are incredible.
