Hello
as you know if I need to take picture to star trails I need to take many picture then I use software to stack it . and if I need to make time laps movie I need to take many picture .
how I can take many pictures without every time I press to camera ? I need app or method to take picture automatic every 1 minute ? I need to use stock camera app because it give me all I need shutter speed 30 second and ISO.
I found some app like Camera FV-5 but the problem with this app it can't take more than 1 second in LG G4 and if you set shutter speed for 30 second the exposure use digital method not real as stock camera app.
Thanks

This looks a bit ridicules, I mean even the oldest phone I had had this feature but I don't know why the camera doesn't have a feature to take sequential photos with timer. The original camera app itself only has burst mode and every other app I have tried either freezes or crashes after taking the first picture. does anyone know how I could do this or an app or fix for this feature?

Dont Worry About it NOW!
Xperia S 4.1.2 Has Started Rolling Out
With New Features And What not.
Receive the update and most of the things will be fine!
Guys I need an application to take pictures AUTOMATICALLY. I mean I want to set the shutter of camera 30" and when it takes the picture,it will start automatically to take another shot. Something like time-lapse ( Invalometer ).. ( Except the camera FV-5 ):good::good:
And what's wrong with camera FV-5? Unfortunately that is the only app I am aware of, which does what you want.
LapseItPro does time lapse for you automatically but I do not know of anything that will do long exposure and time lapse. You would get very weird motion and movement if you did stitch it together. 30 seconds between each photo is long, and would only work for very slow moving things. Also 30 seconds would create motion blur in each photo. It's a really interesting idea. I may try do it manually but that would take ages to get enough photos to stitch into a worthwhile length time lapse.
I would normally highly recommend Camera FV-5.
Edit: I recently decided to check out ProShot and it works pretty well if you're willing to spend a fair amount of money. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riseupgames.proshot2. There is a free version, but it is VERY limited.
you can try freedcam https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=troop.com.freedcam

Aren't stars (ok earth) moving slow enough?
I am looking for something like that too. Time lapse of starry sky rotating.
Anyone tried camera fv-5 on the G4?

Yes stars will probably be ok, but if you do a 30 sec exposure you will start seeing small trails of the stars. But you probably won't notice too much. Have a look on youtube for time lapse tutorials. There are tons and they are specific to the different types of time lapses you want to do.
Try Freedcam , i never shooted timelapses but all i know that Freedcam is capable of anything you want
Seems it has potential, I hope the development continues.
But for now it can't do any timelapse on the G4 since it always crashes when pressing the button to start shooting (timelapse), no matter what options you choose.

Thats not a discovery thats what manual camera done but keep up your experiment and amazed us with your beautiful photography . Always keep your ISO values lower , i can see noice in your photos clearly . First image is bit much exposed but good work . I am little busy now a days will post mine samples when get time.

-discovery_guy do you read? Manual mode means manual mode also some tips
Edit: tips2
I hope this helps you even more
Is it possible to take longer than 10 second exposure pictures on the Note 7 camera?
I think you can. but the thing is it is too bright and you can't set ISO the lowest.
I tried it day time. May be it works on night time.
Worth trying.
With the stock camera app in pro mode you can select 10 seconds as a max. In Auto mode even in complete darkness it doesn't set the shutter speed any longer than half a second.
Since you can control the shutter speed with this phone you might be able to find an aftermarket camera app with manual controls that might let you take exposures longer than 10 seconds. Without some sort of tripod and at night it's pointless to use a shutter speed that slow.

Planning to use it with a tripod to see how far I can push the night photography capabilities of the camera. Will look for a third party app.

This app allows you to select much longer exposure times. Not all the reviews are that great though.

Hi
Does anyone know if there is a way to save images as RAW in the Moto Z Play?
Also, the manual (pro) mode allows you to change the exposure duration but this seems to be maxed to 1/6 - any way to get to longer exposure times?
Thank you.
No idea about the RAW support but if you want to take long exposure shots there are a few camera apps on the Play Store which should do the trick (Camera FV-5 Lite for example) but I never tried any so you may have to try a few in order to find something you're happy with.

Cheers! I've got Camera FV-5 installed and it does present longer exposure times, but I cant tell the difference between them and the stock camera photos. For example, photos taken in stock camera at 1/6 look the same as FV5 at 5 second exp. I don't have my phone to hand but will post some examples later.

I'm not surprised if there's no differences between the 2 but I thought you could make 30 seconds exposure shots with Camera FV-5 (which would surely make a difference with the stock camera)
About RAW support, from what I've read the Z Play doesn't support it unfortunately. You'd need the TrueZoom mod to get RAW support, which is quite an expensive buy.

Edit: Tried to save RAW with Snap but although it gives me the option I was not able to find a RAW image on my card...
I use the Snap Camera app from Playstore. It's extremely versatile and gives you tons of options and it has RAW support with our Z Play.
It needs some time to try out all options and find out the best for the phone and it also costs a few bucks (although there is a free version too). But I think it's worth it. For example it's also the only app I've found which let's you tourn of the denoise filter which is sometimes very helpfull when making pictures of landscapes which lots of details.
The interface is a little annoying at first but you can turn off everything and build your own interface with the free customizable shortcut buttons (settings - advanced - on screen settings).
It has also a good support on XDA.
Thanks for this. It's odd, camera fv 5 says the phone does not support RAW. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
What really bugs me though is the exposure times. I'll give it a try to see what sort of image I get with a 30 sec exposure now.

IMG image - Stock camera with everything auto and exposure at 1/6s. Looks like garbage.
DSC image - Camera FV 5, everything auto and exposure at 20s. Looks like dark garbage.
If im not mistaken, Camera2API supports raw format. Whenever Lenovo finally enables it (Nougat?) we should be able to export to raw format.

I found that long exposure shots have a very limited use :-\
True it's not something you'd use everyday, but it would've been good to have this work as it should. The only other thing I can think of is that they've nerfed it on purpose so the camera mod sells.

Raw does work if you enable camera 2 api or modify hal lib it works even in camera 1 mode
Sent from my NX503A using XDA Free mobile app
I cannot find any option to enable RAW in native camera app , and after trying 10+ pro camera app from play store , I'm not able to make the shutter any higher than 0.5 seconds ! Native camera app has max exposure time of 10 seconds..
Can you please help me regarding this problem ? And please suggest any camera app that can support long exposure in RAW format.
(Even budget phones like realme 7 has 32sec exposure time in RAW mode :| )
Model no. SM-M515F/DSN
gcam and open camera has raw option but you can only see the thumbnail of the image you have to send it to a pc to get the full res aand 0.5 ss is just a bummer I hope somebody can change that
Yes RAW option is there with many cameras.. but I want RAW with LONG EXPOSURE... That is the thing I'm not finding in any camera app ☹ .. I dont know why the native app can go upto 10 sec and no other app can go beyond 0.5 sec... What's the issue ?

The issue is its probably software locked or something
It is not completely soft locked, still usable when set exposure time manually. CameraCharacteristics#SENSOR_INFO_EXPOSURE_TIME_RANGE reports 0.5 seconds at max so all camera apps use it as max value for compatibility. However I don't know any camera app allows completely manual exposure times. Some gcam mods have exposure options for astrophotography mode, you can use them with raw but most of them have no manual controls.

Thank you for the info.
Isn't it possible to overwrite #SENSOR_INFO_EXPOSURE_TIME_RANGE to 10sec which is default for the native camera app.
And why only the native app has the access to 10sec max exposure? This is a huge limitation in my opinion for a phone that costs rs.23000/-

They limit available exposure time for stability or promote their most expensive devices. In this case it is not stability because stock app has 10 seconds, #SENSOR_INFO_EXPOSURE_TIME_RANGE reports 0.5. I think stock app uses CaptureRequest#SENSOR_EXPOSURE_TIME directly without looking at #SENSOR_INFO_EXPOSURE_TIME_RANGE. Third party apps can do same thing too but they need to ignore #SENSOR_INFO_EXPOSURE_TIME_RANGE and set exposure time directly. They don't do that because it will crash if device doesn't support desired exposure time.
Maybe they can fix it with custom roms or you can send a bug report to samsung developer support but I don't think samsung will fix this if this is not a mistake.
You can try nikita's gcam with astro mode for long exposure raws.

Thanks again
I think I have to wait till they add raw support to the native camera app.
In the meantime I'll use gcam as you have suggested..
But this whole "limiting basic functionality " thing for samsung is very very disappointing...
Even Realme/Xiaomi has it in their budget phones ..☹
