The app allows you to auto-level your pictures, exposing the camera's functionality with options for scene modes, color effects, and more. You can also use remote controls, such as a timer and auto-repeat mode, to take photos remotely. The app is customizable, with options to configure volume keys and the user interface. Additionally, it supports GPS location tagging, date and timestamp, and custom text overlays on photos. Open Camera also offers advanced features like HDR, Exposure Bracketing, and RAW file support, making it a versatile and powerful camera app for Indian mobile users.

Open Camera has the following features:
