Camera features: Support for long exposures? - Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't seen any in depth reviews of the new camera app so I thought I'd place the question here: How much manual control does the app allow? I'm interested in doing long exposures in the range of 15 to 30 seconds.
I plan to use a tripod or similar device and I've read in the manual that the app has a shutter release timer, but the manual doesn't say what the shutter speed range is... Can someone with the phone please report back here??
Thanks in advance,
F

The note 5's default camera app with pro mode supports manual shutter speed from 1/24000 sec to 10 seconds.

[Q] Camera slow to take picture.

Hi,
My camera takes a while before it captures a picture and by the time it takes the picture, I miss the shot.
It takes like 5-10 sec after it stops focusing to snap the picture.
Is there a way to speed up the time between when I press the capture button and when the actual image is taken?

Thanks.
Try miui camera in the themes and apps section or try camera 360. Check out the apps that will help thread in that section, i just told someone how they can speed up their phone, check your settings with what i told that guy to do, it will probably help.
I like the MIUI camera. Raise your min CPU setting to 352MHz I think that's what he was saying.

What features do you want updated/integrated from Samsung?

Let us start a summary of features we want from Samsung.
- Remote-Viewfinder with all functions like the camera app itself
- manual whitebalance (within Auto-Mode and easier accessing)
- manual focus
- face recognition in auto-mode
Sent from my GT-P5110 using xda premium
-forced flash light in automatic mode
There is manual white balance feature, but not in automatic mode.

Oh hell, yes i found it. Not really easy accessible and usable. I changed my feature-request ^^

-an API for manual control of the camera in our own apps, ex: shutter speed, Aperture, everything in "expert" mode, etc.
-time lapse option that bypasses the preview requirements. ex: time lapse with screen off to save battery
-unlimited continuous mode. ex: take pictures as fast as hardware allows and save them until the SD card is full
checking for protrusions in front of the lens when camera is activated on start up or activated by apps
else this happenshttp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38367332#post38367332
Speaking of remote, how about publishing the remote protocol so we could write special purpose apps with vastly greater control than just launching a "take picture" intent.
And two new options in settings:
1) Don't start camera on power up.
2) Remember my default preference for using the sdcard, don't keep asking on every power up.

Sv: What features do you want updated/integrated from Samsung?
+100000000 for most of those named earlier.
Personally, I am really disappointed with the lack of fine-grained manual controls (even in manual mode). What I would really appreciate is
manual focus control
manual flash control (mostly intensity)
smarter handling of flash in all modes: when popping up the flash in auto-mode, chances are, I did it on purpose. If the light conditions don't seem to make use of flash necessary, use it for fill-in, already.
better use of screen estate / refined controls in manual mode. Of course, the huge dials for manual settings do work, but at least for me, they simply steal focus from taking the image. Give me onscreen buttons to modify the function of the zoom-rocker in real time instead, as is done with the dialer on SLRs: hold button for AE and the rocker changes exposure compensation instead of zooming etc...
Sent from a compact camera (Samsung Galaxy Camera, EK-GC100)
Manual focus control
Manual flash control
Faster and better autofocus
Manual White Balance, Can make phone calls maybe because for now i fell interrupted with no native app phone call... when i want check balance of my sim card i should swap to another phone and new features on camera like sgs 4 :fingers-crossed:
i need Manual focus control, Manual flash control
Manual focus slider
+1 for all above,
personally I've mostly missed manual focus, as I like to take shots of moving objects, or objects that are not yet in view.
is there any workaround app for the manual focus ?
also full remote controls for the remote viewfinder would be nice.
+1 dont start camera on power up !
like every digicam has a switch for viewing pictures without turning on lens motor ..

Set minimum shutter speed?

Hi everyone,
I just purchased a Nokia 7 plus and I can't find any way of setting a minimum shutter speed. If I go into pro mode and set shutter speed to 1/125 all my low light pics are great with no blur but obviously this will make bright daylight shots over exposed.
Is there a way to mod the software to keep everything the same but let me adjust the minumum shutter speed to 1/125? rather than fixed at 1/125
What would be perfect for me would be a setting at 1/125 minimum shutter speed and a slower speed for when using the flash to capture the background (Google - Dragging the shutter). but if not, i'd be happy if I could only have the minimum shutter speed.
I only use the camera for family pics and a lot of those are of my 2 year old boy. I don't really want to mess with settings too much because you have to be quick to capture those special moments.

Differences with shutter speed in default camera app and others camera apps

Recently, I did root on Mi Max 2 and then enabled camera2api to have manual options to change iso, shutter speed and be able to save photos in dng (RAW) format. I noticed that in the default camera app I can take pictures with a manual shutter speed setting up to 32 seconds. But when I use other applications that allow manual settings and saving in dng, the maximum working shutter speed at which I can take a picture is 4 seconds. Choosing any higher shutter speed value means that capturing the image lasts indefinitely (regardless of the manual settings and the file format).
Can anyone explain to me why in the default camera app taking photos with shutter speed e.g. 5 seconds is possible and in other camera apps capture with the same shutter speed (and higher) never ends? Is there any way to take photos with a time longer than 4 seconds and be able to save them in dng format?

max exposure time in photos?

Hello, I need to know the maximun shutter speed time of the moto g9 plus when using open camera (needs to enable camera2 API on settings of open camera)
I'll really appreciate your time.
Thanks in advance.
in stock camera u can get 32 seconds on both selfie and main camera, in gcam main camera can go up to 4 minutes but the picture stays the same mostly for 3:30 minutes (gcam needs work)

Edit: Just tested Burial GCam (Not rooted), got from Celso Azevedo website, all 4 sensors are being recognized, included depth, that's monochromatic.

Nice! sadly Gcam doesn't have manual controls.
So slowest shutter speed is 7,9 seconds on third party cameras? That's a big bummer for me.
