Megapixels
A gnome camera application for phones Source
Description
Megapixels is a camera application designed for phones and tablets. It implements the v4l2 and media-request apis so set up camera pipelines on ARM hardware and uses the raw data modes of the sensors to get the best quality pictures.
Notice
GTK 4.18 dropped support for GLES 2.0 - which kills Megapixels performance on PinePhone, Librem5 and PinePhone Pro. The flatpak link can help. GTK3 branch is still available. Megapixels also scans QR codes.
