Glad you've found a good working app - I recall a couple of "Manual Cameras" by different developers and different from each other. The experience with Hedgecam2 is surprising - you chose the right icon but it should show something like this - and you see the focus slider at the bottom:

By the way, there are a couple of apps that will produce good RAW/DNG without Camera2 support, used them on my old phone - Snap Camera HDR is one (tends to need a white balance fix) and Bacon Camera that worked better on a ZTE.

Some difference!

The one I found actually has the silly name Manual Camera DSLR Pro. By Lenses Inc. But in Settings it goes under the name of Manual Cam.

I already have the two others you mention. IRRC think they work, but don't have the features I want.

The MP thing is odd with Manual Camera too. 48 pixels is ticked, But only some images are 48 pixels according to the Info in my gallery app. Their size vary. I shot a few just now to test and one is 36.6 and one is actually 48. The other are somewhere in between. 😵

Is that normal for some reason I don't understand? I don't usually check the MP/dimensions...
