Thanks for another great update. You're right. LighrROOM ( ;-) ) now loads. It's interesting comparing FCAM vs Camera-UI2 RAW output.

Camera-UI2 can't seem to go higher than ISO 800. Strangely FCAM RAW files have less noise. The noise at around ISO 3000 (FCAM) is easier to manage than ISO 800 (Camera-UI2). It is difficult to really compare side by side unless I am able to set options manually ISO (> 400) and shutter speed. I will try to profile the Camera-UI2 output and see if that makes a difference.

The OOTC JPEGS still seems to be the best. I wonder if it does some dark frame subtraction.

by the way, there's a keyboard shortcut for automatic video, but I can't seem to find one for automatic camera

There is none. Just p/l/m/n for portrait, landscape, macro and night.

I've uploaded 3 files at iSO 800 , 1/15 sec so you can see FCam vs Camera-UI2 output. These are 100% crops. It's rather interesting because the exposures are fairly similar but the white balance is completely different. The Camera-UI2 output is noisier but the white balance is perhaps more accurate.

The first is the JPEG output for reference, the second is the Camera-UI2 and the third is FCAM

I think that is just a difference in focus

I agree - look towards the end of the temple (the ear rest, if you like), that band is more in focus in the fcamera than camera-ui2 shot.

Talking of focus: that tap selectable focus circle option in fcamera is a really nice utility. The focus box in camera-ui(2) is quite large and can struggle to lock correctly. For example, focussing across a table with a few objects can be tricky. Nicolai's new focus distance display goes a long way in helping assess where is the focus, particularly at short range. Thanks for that.

Others have already replied I should have done a better job on focus.

I ran both photos through RAW Therappee it seems like RAW Therapee works better with FCam DNGs and Lightroom a bit better with Camera-UI2 DNGs. RAW Therappee is the best in terms of noise reduction.

At least I can make more options for the ISO value.
I uploaded a new version (see first post).

You can use the keyboard control (key "i") to cycle
through the Automatic/100/200/400/800/1600 ISO setting.
