Download a custom mod (tweak) to enable some hidden features of stock MIUI camera app for Redmi 4X (codename Santoni). This tweak enables advanced camera settings to give users a full manual control over the built-in camera app. This is a really simple and easiest solution to have a DSLR-like camera app without having to install a third-party app like Google Camera, FV-5, and so on. The best part, this mod requires no root access and hence you don’t need either Magisk or SuperSU.
This mod tweak is just a script to unlock the basically-already-there features. It is not an app itself. Basically, some advanced features have already been planted on the stock MIUI camera app but for some unknown reasons, the Xiaomi Developers opted to keep these features hidden.
Key Features
- HDR (High Dynamic Range).
- A full-size Panorama.
- Camera Torch capture.
- LED Color Notification.
- Quick Snap Mode.
- Age Stamp in Photo (Front Camera).
- Mirror Front Camera.
- Audio Focus Mode in Video Recording.
- Square Mode (Only works on some ROMs).

- Slow Motion Video Recording (Set video quality to SD or HD & need good light conditions).
