Camera shutter speed - Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers

I'm looking for the best camera app alternatives that have control over the shutter speed. I'm running the newest android 12 beta and there's no pro modes or options in Google's camera app

Google camera app will most likely always be a simple "point and shoot".
The apps you're looking for might be something like ProCam and ProShot.
Although I haven't used them myself, both have pretty high review ratings.

how to slow down shutter speed

Without using firework scene mode how can we slow down shutter speed for awesome light displays, fireworks and light trails?
Is this something that can be done with the tiny.settings we have in manual mode 8MP OR 20MP?
We have EV+/- And ISO and a few.focus options
Not a lot and none change shutter speed?
Any help please?
You can't there are only those few options unfortunately

Why don't you guys install "a better camera" from the playstore. This is one of the best if not the best camera app I have used on android, and its free.
Many modes and lots of manual camera controls.
Other choice is my top favorite "Camera FV-5".
You will get great results me thinks.

Already got Camera FV-5 but didn't think was that great, was saying I couldn't change ISO on my phone...
this other one you suggested "a better camera" looks VERY good though!
Just trying it now!

Have yet to see a 3rd party app that supports manual iso control on the Z1 :/ Guess Sony restricted access to it somehow, or didn't standardize it (as the same apps do have ISO acces on the LG G2 for example)...

For the N6? Manual Camera! Lovin this app! It's still a work in progress, but it is a very cool app.

I switched from Manual camera to Camera FV-5, which also uses the new APIs (so it can output DNG). It is a lot more polished and stable than Manual Camera.

Manual camera capture in 4:3 and you cant change quality and HDR seems very broken or non functional.
Very slow shutter rate, aosp and google camera is so much faster, Manual Camara not worth it at all.

It seems you have missed the idea of the app. It's called MANUAL CAMERA!
You don't change "quality" settings. You don't have HDR mode. Those are AUTOMATIC modes. This is a MANUAL application that allows you to adjust MANUAL settings like ISO, Shutter Speed, Over/Under exposure, white balance, etc. If you want all the "programmed" or "automatic" settings that come in the camera app, then use the camera app!
And if your shutter rate is slow, it's because you have a SLOW SHUTTER SPEED selected!!!!
Complaining about an app that is doing what it's supposed to do, is epitome if stupidity!
ARGH!!!!!!!

The app works perfectly fine on my Nexus 6 and I really like the manual options. Too bad it's not possible to edit the raw images on the phone yet.
And the low fps isn't a problem on a phone for me because the auto focus isn't that fast anyway.
A timer for timelapse photos could be a nice feature.

Manual Camera was updated to v2.1 today, and it is now showing as incompatible on the N6. Anyone else seeing this?

Google kinda dropped the ball on it. Hopefully it will be functionality added in at some point.
core issues with N6 video before slo-mo can happen

My sense is there are some very serious issue preventing slo-mo. That is, slo-mo you want to share because it would be close to garbage as it stands.
I shoot video frequently and was very unhappy when I got my N6.
- signal to noise (S/N) is not good on this device at this stage of the game. It simply is noisy, and it is correctable in software. Until then, slo-mo will be very nasty if anyone is brave enough to try to encode it.
- exposure compensation in video mode is poor - if you shoot a video of a person sitting in front of a blank wall (or a sky) and slowly pan up and down - you can see the exposure compensation "clicking" in stairstep manner as the device adjusts to brightness changes. It needs to be silky smooth or video looks like crap. It can be corrected in software.
- you can workaround the exposure issue by using a third party app which locks exposure compensation - but shooting video with locked exposure compensation is not a good solution.
my opinions.
@warriorpluto I couldn't agree more...I was hoping that there be at least a working port of maybe lenovo, sense 6 camera,z2 or z3 camera...maybe when more devices get lollipop well be able to enjoy the nexus camera...but I suppose for now the google camera shall do for now lol smh
Z camera is good enough. The only one u can take picture wit no lag. But no HDR .

Manual Camera just came out a few weeks ago, but it's by far been the best for me (a camera junkie).
It's best used if you're used to the settings on a DSLR, but has an awesome auto setting and the fastest auto-focus i've seen yet on the N6.
So is the best camera app "Camera FV-5" with Cinema FV-5?
Just cleaned up in here. You guys can take the political debate to a different forum, please. I have absolutely no idea why this subject got brought up in camera thread (actually I do, but I'll deal with the certain member(s))......on a development site.
No need to discuss what I just cleaned in here. Please keep it on topic.

Alternative to stock camera applications for S6?

Does anybody here use an alternative camera app on their S6? I know Google has their camera app, but I find it a tad slow on the auto-focus. I generally like the stock camera app, but just seeing if there are any other third-party apps that might be better in terms of quality of the photo and speed of the app.

Can anyone port the S6edge+/Note 5 camera app?

Hi!
I have noticed that the Note 5 and S6edge+ has the same camera sensor as our beloved s6, but we lack a few options that the bigger devices have, like RAW file selection instead of JPEG and also the shutter speed control.
Can anyone port this to our Galaxy S6?
Should not be that hard?
Yes eagerly waiting for s6+/n5 can app port..???
I'm not a dev but pretty sure you'll also need additional libs for that. Maybe Edge+/Note5 ported ROMs will work with the camera app.
RAW is supported on 3rd party apps like Camera FV-5 whilst we wait for a port
I couldn't find a decent free pro camera app (one with raw support and all) in the Play Store. Open Camera comes close but still doesn't have all the options. It's a bit disappointing that Samsung has not released an update to the stock camera app while Note 5 and S6 E+ sport more options.

Anyone manage to get Asus Remote Camera app working on Zenwatch 3?

I have the Asus Remote Camera app installed on my phone, but it doesn't appear on my Zenwatch 3 (which is running the latest stock firmware). Does anyone know if there's a way of getting this app to work on the Zenwatch, as I really miss the remote shutter feature.

The camera app that comes with the watch is no longer compatible it's too old.
If you want a excellent Remote Camera app for the watch here is the
playstore link for "Wear Camera":
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ua.makeev.wearcamera&hl=en
This is the best one, it not only lets you see thru it's "virtual" viewfinder but it
also let's you take videos as well as snapshots and has many other features.
Good luck, have a great day!

Thanks for that. The app seems the work well on the Zenwatch. The only feature that it lacks compared to the Asus Remote Camera app, and it's quite a big one, is the ability to take a photo by turning your wrist. This is unbelievably useful if you're holding the phone with your arm outstretched (e.g. a selfie or an overhead shot), as in that situation you don't have a spare hand available to press the shutter on the watch! I've submitted it as a feature suggestion to the developer.
