Android has secret camera features, but Google won't let you use them yet

Buried deep inside Google's mobile operating are hidden two features that would make for a far more refined Android photography experience. Raw image support and burst-mode were spotted a while ago in Android source code, but have now been confirmed by Google itself.

"Android's latest camera HAL (hardware abstraction layer) and framework supports raw and burst-mode photography," Google spokesperson Gina Scigliano told CNET. "We will expose a developer API (application programming interface) in a future release to expose more of the HAL functionality."
