Answer 1

If you need simple filters like sepia or negative you can just set CONTROL_EFFECT_MODE field in CaptureRequest instance via CaptureRequest.Builder method mBuilder.set(CaptureRequest.CONTROL_EFFECT_MODE, /*your value*/);

see developers doc for available values.

Answer 2

yes I agree with the comments above, by using

mBuilder.set (CaptureRequest.CONTROL_EFFECT_MODE, / * your value * /);

Another example can use the code as below View More

mPreviewRequestBuilder.set (CaptureRequest.CONTROL_EFFECT_MODE, CaptureRequest.CONTROL_EFFECT_MODE_SEPIA);
