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.

Hello,
N1 camera is cool except one thing - it does not allow adjust shutter speed. So especially now in winter in mountains all my photos are very dark which is a pity as otherwise the quality is fairly good.
I was trying to search for any camera app that would allow shutter speed adjustment but did not find any.
Does anyone know about any good app and / or why this setting is not there by default? It cannot be so difficult to implement - every cheap camera has it...
Thank you very much.
is this even possible? If it is I'm sure your Nexus would need to be rooted
I'd take the ability to spot-meter as a substitute. Sometimes I want to expose the foreground and let the sky, or whatever, be overexposed. The camera doesn't seem to do that as it stands.
Getting pretty peeved with my N4 camera, the stock Android Camera app and their inability to raise the shutter speed to capture a bit of motion.
Pictures of the kids on my N4 are almost always blurry when then move a little. It appears that the stock app and the N4 camera refuse to increase the ISO to allow a faster shutter speed. Even in 'action' scene nothing much seems to change and you're left with low ISO, 1/20 ish shutter speed and the invariable blurred shots.
From what i've seen on the likes of Flickr and other forums, the One camera and software seem to happily increase the ISO to allow faster shutter speeds.
Is this what people are seeing? Can you please confirm? Are you using any specials scenes or modes?
I love everything about my N4, but this camera issue is really starting to annoy me and I think an upgrade is in the offing.

Yes, i came from the N4's ****ty camera to the One. you get all the options to adjust such as ISO, saturation, sharpness etc
HI, guys. I have a new Z1 on the way. I have read and seen comparisons that claim that the auto modes introduce a lot of noise and that, while the camera is capable of great shots, the software often lets it down.
I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what the best manual settings are to use. I know they will be different for each setting (dark settings, etc.), but is there a go-to group of manual settings that you use most of the time rather than superior auto?
Thanks!

In manual mode you must stop breathing to not shake the device and capture best detailed photo with less or no noise.
You can also disable flash and use exposure to capture bright photos without flashlight.
You can select manual ISO, which is for light sensitivity. Or....
The ISO number is how sensitive to light the camera
is. It's descended from film cameras, then it would be
how sensitive the chemicals were. The higher the ISO
setting the more light your camera picks up, useful
for low light conditions. However, as the ISOs get
higher so does the amount of 'noise' (visible pixels
that aren't supposed to be there) on your photos. It's
up to you to decide what's a suitable level of noise
and how sensitive you need your camera for each
particular photo.
in other terms
The ISO function sets the light sensitivity of the
camera's image sensor (this is similar to the speed
rating of film. The higher the ISO, the more sensitive
the image sensor and therefore the possibility to take
pictures in low-light situations.
If you find the camera is using a shutter speed that is
too slow (1/60 sec. and slower) to handhold the
camera steady and shake-free then you might select
the next higher ISO which will then allow you to
select a faster shutter speed.
F-stop is the measure of the aperture setting on a
lens. The greater the number, the less light it allows
in, which means the aperture gets smaller, making the
depth-of-field more extensive.

We can edit the aperture? HOW??

LOL, we can't edit aperture and this guide was not only for Xperia Z1 's manual mode but every camera is.

Hope you didn't had a heartattack!
So as we all know, the Nexus 6 camera sucks in low light compared to just about every other phone on the market. I played with L Camera (camera app that uses Lollipop's new camera API's) and played with the exposure and ISO settings and was able to get very good quality pictures with minimal noise. This makes me believe that the hardware is capable of alot better low-light performance, but on the software side of things, the "default" auto-exposure setting is set too low. Is there any way to change this?
I'm able to get okay results using HDR+, but on apps like Snapchat where there is no control over anything, low-light pics are abysmal.
For the best quality, should I use the regular camera or the setting that can blur the background?
I prefer to use pro mode at the lowest ISO possible. 50 ISO looks amazing but at lower light your shutter speeds are going to make for some blurry shots unless you have it mounted, etc.
Not a fan of any background blur whether it's iOS or Android. It's gimmicky at best and full of artifacts.
