Change shutter speed for long exposure? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

On my samsung i had some great manual mods in my camera app.
- Used to take some really awesome long exposure fotos - camera usually open for 2 - 5 sec. Sincs google don't want to give us some manuel controls, does any know an great app where I am able to change shutter speed?
I've heard that the HDR+ only works with the stock camera app`? I will be fine tho, as I can edit it later in Lightroom/Photoshop..
Thanks

You can't go past 1 sec exposure on the pixel. No app can change that. Sorry man.

I use the app Proshot for manual controls, it supports long exposure upto 4 seconds on Pixel 2. So I guess most of the camera apps supporting manual controls can support long exposure upto 4 seconds.

IT looks so great!! Its not possible with pixel 2?

So, any idea how you engage the shutter to take a long exposure image without touching the camera - which will cause camera shake? The voice command "hey google, take a picture" only seems to work from standby mode (when you're not using the phone - but the power is on).

Camera app with manual shutter speed

Are there any apps for the GS3 that allow you to manually control the shutter speed and ISO independently?
I have tried Camera FV-5 which only allows going to "long+" which ends up somewhere between 1/30 and 1/17, at higher shutter speeds it drops resolution to 1080P. I also tried procapture, which only has an exposure compensation function but does not allow you to manually select shutter speeds. Neither of the above have a working exposure compensation on the gs3, it was capped out to +-.7, if you scrolled past that to say -2 EV it would revert to 0 EV for the photo.
Is there any app that works on the GS3 and allows manual exposure controls? It would be especially awesome if it allowed slower shutter speeds than 1/15 of a second, I like to do longer exposures, 1-2 seconds or more, but haven't found an app that allows that.
I was too searching for a full control on camera app. But alas couldnt dind it This wouldnt be difficult to develop though.

It's frustrating that a phone touted as having one of the best cameras doesn't have something as common as manual controls, and no apps that support it either. Definitely an advantage to the iphone, which has apps like 645 pro.
A frustrating part is the +- 2 stops in the stock camera app doesn't seem to actually represent a full 4 stop range, many times in bright sunlight you still get blown out highlights even at -2, and with no AE lock you can't expose for the brights then recompose. Most reviews, when they compare the cameras, do not compare these aspects, only the output across their test scenes.

Long(er) exposure photography

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.

RAW Support and long exposures

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

[REQUEST] enable long exposure mode please

I have been using this phone for a month. I am rooted with magisk and camera2 api is enabled. All the manual controls except the long exposure works fine but in case of shutter speed or long exposure i cannot find more than 1/8 sec in any of the third party app like proshot and camera fv-5. So i think this is the cause of my camera hardware not being able to do so :crying::crying:. But amazing developers like you guys are out there who are making great customization and mods for this phone, please anyone take an initiative for enabling this long shutter speed mode for at least 10 or 20 sec.

Actually when camera2 api was disabled i tested it and saw that all that it does is stack some images. That image is not what i call long exposure image. Any how can you share some long exposure shots taken by this phone? can you do light trails also? please share.

Is there a camera app with longer than 30s shutter?

The default camera app lets me select a 30 seconds shutter. I'm looking for something with either a bulb shutter, or at the minimum a 2 minute shutter option!
I want to try and get a long exposure night rocket launch next week!

GCAM's astrophotogrqaphy mode could give you this amount of time for an open shutter. in order to manual set the time needed, you shoud find and use the 7.3 version (in later versions i haven't fount the way to adjust the shutter time).
Still, if your goal is thew light trail, you shoud test the astrophotography mode of GCam, before the event you want to shoot, (e.g. with stars)
