Picked up a Moto X Play for family in Canada.
The Camera interface isn't the most intuitive, was hoping to use Google Camera but every app I seem to use seems to crash when switching from camera to camcorder mode, currently on the March security update for Marshmallow.
Does anyone else have this issue or can recommend a decent camera app as an alternative?
Try Open Camera or Manual Camera.
Yeah open camera is a nice one.The stock camera app is working normal on mine.Try to clean cache of the stock camera app.
Opencamera crashes.
Google Camera 2.7 is actually working, so the problem is with version 3.1 and later... Guess that's why they pulled it from the Play Store

When switching from camera to video camcorder mode, it says 'Can't connect to camera' and crashes the app
Running version 5.1 and its working.Stock mm 6..0.1.
I should try a factory reset if i was you.

Sorry 5.1 of which application would you be referring to?
Google Camera only goes up to 3.2 and Open Camera 1.28.1

Sorry i was mistaken with motorola stock camera app. Maybe google camera is crashing because it cant find a gyroscope sensor which is needed for the 360 pictures.
Looking for a camera app as well; stock Motorola camera is too slow on launch in taking pictures or I itializing video. I've tried clearing data and cache. Google Camera works besides camcorder mode.
I used Open Camera. After installation, the first time I have it hung. Resetting and poked in the settings. In the "interface settings" disabled "show slope" and "show the direction of the compass." As long as such no longer hangs.
Does Nokia 8 camera support full manual settings? Could you please test with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=pl.vipek.camera2_compatibility_test and show results here?
Also has anybody tried any 3rd party camera apps like OpenCamera, Camera FV-5 or those SnapDragon Camera ports which can be found here on XDA? Is photo quality different compared to Nokia 8 stock camera?
The pixel camera apk works but flash is iffy. There is another thread about the camera in questions n answers

I'm interested in this too - especially for Camera2 manual controls, bearing in mind that some devices may show full Camera2 compatibility, but there's still the question of whether it works bug-free. Third party camera apps with Camera2 are:
A Better Camera: enable Settings/General settings/More/"Use Camera2 interface".
Snap Camera HDR (Trial): enable Settings/Other/"Use Camera2 API".
AZ Camera: this uses Camera2 by default.
Footej: this uses Camera2 by default.
Open Camera (disclaimer, I'm the author!): enable Settings/"Use Camera2 API".
How do things like flash, manual shutter speed, RAW work on the Nokia 8? Thanks!

Thanks. I'm thinking about buying Nokia 8 at some time in the future and this full manual camera is the most important feature.
One more thing that the Manual compatibility test app does not show: does Nokia 8 support touch light metering? I.e. if there are light and dark areas in viewfinder, automatic light metering would burn the light areas. With touch metering you touch the light area and the result is more natural.
Shutter seems to be limited.
Cant exposure over 1s, hoping that update will fix it.
I think lg g6 have same sensor maybe im wrong but it will exposure 30s
Which camera app is best for manual controls?

Opencamera...you can play with iso speed and shutter is limited still to 0.1s
Enable in app camera 2api feature.
If yuo want just pont and shoot take google camera apk .
In oreo beta, only build in camera app records video.
https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/ there is the arnova apk i like that.
You xan test the cyanogen cam too...it has manual controls but still shutter speed limited to 0.1s

Camera app is extremely disappointing and needs an urgent update. This app freezes time and again which is quite annoying.

Do you mean the stock camera app freezes? Have you tried any 3rd party camera apps, do they freeze, too?
Try this if it helps:

Same happened to me after 9.2 update. I've changed ROM since then. Wish there's a fix come soon.
same here i am having this issue since late december updates(using global beta ROM) i have posted this issue on miui forum but got no answer.
if anyone knows that'd be great, because i want use google camera ported camera but since google camera have bugs like recording video and it crashes sometimes and takes longer time to process hdr+ pictures and MIUI camera comes in handy to shoot videos.
I recently updated from OOS 8 to 9.0.5. I haven't found a camera that supports slow motion, which worked fine in the stock camera in OOS 8. I've tried the camera that was installed with 9, the one that came with 8 (restored via Titanium Backup), and a port of the Google Camera 7.0. In all cases I crash out of the camera app back to the home screen as soon as I select slow motion.
Any suggestions for apps or setup options? I'm a music teacher and I use slow motion to show students their hand movements. I would really appreciate having it back.
Hello,
I have a question, i just bought a Find x5 model and i love it a lot. One thing that bothers me though is the fact that the camera does not save my setting. When i open the camera app and disable the HDR mode it does not save the setting. When i open the camera app again i 30 minutes the HDR is on again. I'm wondering if it's only me or do you guys also experiance the same thing?
