## Description

**Manual Camera Compatibility Test**

This Chrome extension allows users to quickly check whether their Android device supports manual camera settings such as manual focus, white balance (WB), ISO, shutter speed, and RAW image capture. These features are based on the Android Lollipop Camera2 API, enabling users to know if their device can leverage advanced camera controls.

If your device is compatible, you can then install the "Manual Camera" app for full access to these manual settings, enhancing your photography experience. This tool is perfect for photography enthusiasts seeking greater control over their mobile camera functionality.

## Review summary

Users say the app quickly and effectively checks Camera2/RAW/manual camera capabilities and often works as intended. Repeated complaints focus on perceived inaccurate results, prompts to buy a paid Manual Camera app (and refund requests), and several reviewers calling it fake or confusing — especially around RAW terminology and interpretation.

### Pros

- Checks Camera2 API / camera compatibility (many users confirm it performs the intended test)
- Quick, simple and effective — fast/manual capability check
- Helpful for identifying RAW camera support
- Generally works for its purpose (several users call it a good/best app)

### Cons

- Some users report inaccurate or misleading results (app may say no manual support while built‑in camera exposes settings)
- Prompts or recommends purchasing a paid "Manual Camera" app (cost complaints and refund requests)
- Multiple reviews call it fake / waste of time / worst app (perceived unreliability)
- Users confused by terminology or output (e.g., questions about "RAW" support / unclear results)
