Manual mode in camera app - One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

In the camera app I set the mode to manual and then assist the shutter speed to 4s which is the maximum it shows but when I snap a picture the shutter is never open for 4s. I need this for extreme low light landscape shots.
If anyone here shares the same problem and have a solution, kindly post here.

Looking for specific camera app

I'm looking for camera app that has:
* fast brust picture option
* panorama picture option
* macro
* face detection
* Image Stabilizer (especially while using flash in dark places)
Now I use the default app the comes with SGS3 but I have always blury pictures when I take pictures at night \ in dark places. Panorama pictures also blury.
Any suggestions?
There are other camera apps out there, check Google Play Store under the Apps, Photography section and play around with any app that takes your fancy.
Try to remember that the SGS3 is a camera phone, not a camera. Night shots will be tricky on this phone due to sensor size, led flash and 2.6 f stop.
The stock camera app does all you want apart from good low light stabilization. Image stabilization will not prevent blur in photos. High iso speed and fast shutter will but you will loose image quality.

what about the blury panorama shot?
Camera ZOOM FX has a nice stable shot feature and also burst shot mode, but i doubt it has panorama feature.
Buy "procapture" clearly the best camera atm.also contains most of the features u request
Edit: if u want a really cool, featurerich gallery go for "fish bowl photo gallery",it's free in market
I'd have to say Camera360 or CameraZoomFX. For burst shooting i think you'll have to stick with the stock app.

Rear camera too dark

Anyone else find the rear camera almost pitch black compared to front camera? I've changed various settings but it doesn't go any brighter.

Most units have the dark camera. Some have a brighter camera.
The best you can do is adjust the exposure setting.
I just posted in another thread that I had this issue, even adjusting all the setting makes very little difference when using the camera in video mode, picture mode is fine though, no issues with darkness etc.

Sorry I didn't see your thread, yes I have exactly same problem in video mode being darker than camera mode with the rear camera no issue with front one though, my bad I should of stated which mode it was in.
Don't know about the dark only in video mode issue.
What I've seen is most cameras look find in bright rooms, but in dimly lit rooms, everything is very dark. I just figured this was normal for this level camera, but then I saw a unit that was able to have the same image my eye could see, rather than being so dark it was hard to make out details.
That's when I came to the concusion there are different cameras or the same camera with different variances.
I could adjust the exposure in the dark camera to the highest level and get about 75% of the brightness of the bright camera, but never as bright. By bright, I just mean you can make out the details in the scene.
It seems to be more of bug though because it's also doing it on sphere & panoramic modes too, it's like it's automatically setting the exposure to -2 when your under unnatural light. The setting shouldn't be any different to camera still mode as all it does is stitch multiple stills together.

I went back and tested my camera in more depth.
When I turn on video mode, it ignores any exposure setting. Is it possible you have exposure turned up (not necessarily by your own doing) in the camera mode and when you switch to video, it doesn't honor the exposure?
Basically what I'm asking is, rather than video mode being dark, is it possible video mode is "normal", ie no adjustments to exposure, and camera mode has exposure upped up, possibly some change/fix that was made to account for an overly dark camera?
I know this makes no "effective" difference to you, but might explain why it behaves differently in camera and video/stitch/etc. mode.
Sometimes it also goes redish dark in picture / still mode too but that can be fixed by pressing home and then returning to it via recents, you can hear the shutter or lens reset.
4.4 gives a slight improvement, it's lighter now hopefully with another tweaked update it'll be fixed.

[Q] Camera apps with auto ISO while using fixed shutter speed

With both the stock camera app and Camera FV5, it seems like if I want to fix either the shutter speed or ISO, the app would force me to manually pick the value for the other as well. I just want to be able to pick a high enough ISO or fast enough shutter speed so that when I take pictures of my kids, they won't be all blurry. Tinkering with both ISO and shutter speed myself usually isn't an option when taking pictures of them because they rarely stop for my photos (I would have missed the moment I want to capture by the time I get the settings right). Is there an app that can automatically set one of ISO or shutter speed when I have the other value fixed? This seems like a no brainer but not sure why none of the apps I have implements this. If the app can figure out all the values when it's on auto everything, taking out one of the variables should just make it easier to do the math.
Pro shot is capable of this, you can have two custom settings with, for example, shutter=1/100s and the other with shutter=1/30s and auto iso

Camera app

Hello. I want my phone to take a picture every second with 108MP option on. There is an app called "Open Camera" and it can take a picture every second but the resolution is 12mp - 4,000x3000. The ultra resolution is 12,000x9,000. I'm looking at android developers on Fivver but most of them don't know how to do edit the app or make a new one. Anyone here knows how I can make my phone take a picture every second and make like 100 pictures?

Burst shots are low quality pictures. Anyways, I found a solution. It's called Auto Click app. It will push shutter button for you and take as many pictures as you want.
