Camera FV-5 Essentials for Android: Daily App Pick

BreakingModern — Available now on GooglePlay for $3.95, Camera FV-5 Essentials for Android is a powerful photo editing tool for serious photographers. That’s why I’m selecting it as today’s app of the day.

This is one full featured app. Camera FV-5 gives you total control over every conceivable parameter of your raw photographs, including settings for ISO, light metering, focus, exposure compensation and white balance.

With this app, you get a viewfinder display with exposure time and aperture, and stops are easily visible. You also get true exposure bracketing and custom EV shifting.
