Hoping someone can help, as I can't find the info from a search or even the S8+ user manual.
Regarding the Pro Mode settings on the camera, what it the maximum manual shutter time you can set?
I really love my Huawei P9 and its ability to go up to a 30 second exposure for some beautiful night shots. Can someone confirm what the S8+ can go up to?
Thanks.
Not sure if I'm reading this correctly but it looks like it goes up to 10 seconds.

I love this mode from my Huawei ascend mate 7, i could take pictures of the stars.
With the new and approved Galaxy S7 camera, i would like this mode added.
With a mod or other method.
I watched a video and it seems like that super night mode means that the shutter is kept open for 30 seconds. The S7 camera app as well as fv-5 are only capable of keeping it open for 10 second. But I have no clue if there is a way to keep the shutter open for longer.
Hi,
Anyone know a link to how to set correct settings to use manual control for XZ to get great pictures instead of using auto? I did a google search, nothing really comes up. Unless I am using wrong key words in my search.
I'd also be interested in some sort of guide to squeezing the best photos possible from this camera.
I tried in manual mode but whenever i try adjust iso the shutter speed would become auto and when i adjust shutter speed the iso i believe becomes auto too

That would be because it is shooting in priority mode, not fully manually. The aperture is fixed in smartphone cameras, so the only way to use a faster shutter speed without making the picture darker is to also increase the sensitivity, and the only way to use a slower shutter speed without making the picture brighter is to decrease the sensitivity (and vice versa).
There are no "best" settings for Manual mode. The settings you choose will depend on the picture you want to take. The "best" settings for Manual mode if you want to set and forget them are to put the camera back in Auto mode, and let it choose the settings for you. That's true on any cameraphone with manual and auto modes, too.
I also would like a noob guide to (smartphone) photography. I never know what to set in manual mode.

If I get a moment, I'll make one when my phone arrives and I've had a chance to see what settings they've added since my just-died Xperia Z2.
Anyone got any guide?
Very generally speaking, since the aperture is fixed (at f/2.0), the USUALLY best way to take a sharper photo is to use as low of an ISO you can. PERSONALLY I find that a lot of the oversharpening you get with Xperia cameras comes from the auto mode using too high ISO. If you define the ISO yourself in manual mode, the SONY camera will automatically choose a shutter speed. So, the bottom limit of the ISO you can set will generally be if the image is too dark, or you can't hold the phone steady enough for a longer exposure. As a general rule of thumb, in broad daylight with great lighting you can use ISO 50 or 100. Indoors during the day I might try 200. At night indoors, like in a restaurant I'll use 400. And in darker shots I'll try ISO 800.

First of all make sure you use higher mpx option. Second is adjust settings when you actually taking photos which I found best way for me. That way you can see how photos will come out in real time and then snap it.
Do you guys get better results using the on-screen shutter button or the physical button?

I prefer to use the on-screen button, it's a smoother action for me to hold the button with my thumb to focus and then gently let go.

Sorry, I have no clue - it looks like nougat is just starting to roll out, so we shall see.
In my opinion the worse
Would somebody be so kind to check if the following is possible:
Camera: Put the ISO on fixed and low (like 100) and then the shutter on auto AND be possible to take good pictures in half lit rooms, like indoors. (shutter can become like 5 seconds, on auto!)
Yes, very simple/basic you would think, but it appears to be very rare for camera phones. For normal camera’s this is 100% basic!
Please tell me the Mi Note 10 can do this.
And for more info, IF you are interested:
I tested it out: P30pro, Oneplus 7T and a bunch of more cheap/midrange/(I)phones. And as soon as you put it on a fixed (low) ISO (if even possible), the max shutter will be too short to make a good picture with low light. Or they put the shutter on manual as soon as you put Iso on a fixed value. Either way, it is not possible what I need for photogrammetry
I have no clue why they set the max shutter on something like half a second max, when ISO is manual/fixed but they do. Or fixed ISO means only manual shutter. Even with Gcam and/or other party apps. I've tried everything!
Yes, you can manually set the shutter longer, to get a decent exposure (so, technical it is possible to take the picture with the right exposure), but I need it to be on auto shutter/exposure, as I have to take 1000+ pictures in half a day for photogrammetry, so I do not have time to do manual shutter/exposure.
On a normal camera this is soooo basic. Please tell me the Mi Note 10 does not have this strange “limitation” for no obvious reason that other high level camera phones do have.
Yes, it has such limitation and it has a basic explanation - if the shutter speed is longer than half a second, you'll need a tripod for a decent image.

Thanks for the answer, though it was not what I hoped for.
And yes you need a tripod of course. But do the big companies think nobody ever heard of a tripod and why you use them for a camera(phone)? Beside that, it is only limited when shutter is on auto, not on manual. To me it make no sense.
Not to mention al 3th party apps, they all claim: use you camera phone as a DSLR…. NOT!
You can do whatever you want, even in the default camera app.
The max shutter rate is 32s, and the max ISO is 6400.
You can set whatever you want.
I also shoot nighttime, and I'm always at 100 ISO.

Okay, but do you set the shutter on manual or on auto? What will become the max shutter on auto? (with fixed ISO at 100 and at nighttime).
I'm just curious about how people use Photo Pro. When I turn on Photo Pro, it goes directly to Shutter Speed mode. I have auto-focus continuous on, focus area wide, and meter area multi. I initially shoot with single-exposure and only move to continuous shooting as needed. Flash is off, white balance is auto, Auto HDR and D-'Range Optimizer are off. I have the histogram turned on.
I'm curious about your starting point and any observations you have on my parameters.
Might have to look under settings and see what it says under there like last mode or something
Thanks. I have that one set to open in Photo Pro on last mode used. It opens to "S-Mode", shutter speed priority.
So, I like to shoot cinematic videos with a smartphone.
I have four different apps that I use for this (Filmic Pro, ProShot, ProTake and mcpro24fps).
All four of these apps work just fine on a Xiaomi Note 9 phone.
The problem is that the apps cannot lock the exposure in manual mode when I install them on my Realme 5 Pro.
Even if both ISO and Shutter Speed are manually locked by me at my desired values, the exposure still shifts and compensates when I pan the camera from dark to light areas. This renders my shots completely useless.
The interesting part is that if I switch to Auto mode on any of these apps, and then lock the exposure reticle while in Auto, I no longer get shifting exposure. However in Auto mode I am not able to set my Shutter Speed and ISO to the desired values and I must rely on whatever values the app in use automatically chooses for me. This ruins the cinematic look of my shots.
In brief: there must be a setting in Realme 5 Pro's firmware that does not allow the apps to set manual lock on ISO, Shutter Speed and on Exposure in general.
What could that faulty setting be?
Do I have to root my phone in order to correct things somehow? I don't know nothing about root access etc...
Or should I just sit and pray that a future firmware update would solve this issue?
I think I found out what is causing the problem. It is called "dynamic tone mapping" and iPhone users have the same issue with film making apps because of it.
Is there any way to turn the dynamic tone mapping function on Realme 5 Pro off when shooting and encoding videos?
