Manual camera features include manual focus, ISO, shutter speed, exposure, and RAW image support. In order to reveal the hidden manual camera function, we’re enabling the Camera2 API option with the help of root privileges.

  1. Open build.prop editor
  2. Find the string with ro.product.name=land and ro.product.device=land. [land is the code name of Redmi 3S Prime. Kenzo is for Redmi Note 3].redmi camera2 api
  3. Now replace “land” with “gemini”. Save and reboot.
  4. Check your Mi camera app to see the manual features.

The stock Mi camera doesn’t support RAW format capture. So I suggest you install FreeDCam or Open Camera to utilize this feature to the fullest. RAW images can be post-processed to form beautiful pictures with the help of Photoshop or Lightroom.
