Nexus 6 (Verizon) Google Camera Application Missing Manual-Exposure Slider/Control

[GolferChris68]

I enabled "Manual Exposure" in the Advanced section of Settings in Google Camera running on my Verizon Nexus 6 (running Lollipop 5.1). Does anyone else have this issue? I like to be able to manually adjust the exposure when taking photos, and this kills that in the Google Camera application running on Lollipop 5.1 on my Nexus 6. Seems like a bug. Thoughts?

I saw this on the other 5.1 thread as well. Someone posted it on the 28th but nobody else chimed in they had the issue.

Can the rest of you with 5.1 confirm this? Was planning on doing the unroot/sideload/re-root dance when I got the time this week, but I have no real complaints with my 6 now, and if 5.1 breaks manual exposure, I'll wait!

I posted it
There is a bug report on google code.
It seems to affect both old and new APIs on 5.1 (no apps can manually set exposure compensation even if there is a toggle)
Maybe if you put a star it can help. This is the link:

Done, and thanks for the input. Looks like I will be waiting for now - can't lose manual exposure.

Thank you! I also submitted a report to the Google Code thread and starred it.

Just confirmed on my son's Nexus 5 that after the 5.1 update manual exposure still works. Odd 5.1 breaks it on the 6 but not the 5?

It seems a bug connected with the new nexus 6 hardware. I know that the note 4, which has the same hardware, has affected by this bug too.
