Lghtning speed right here. But a little blurry.
The default camera app is pretty quick to launch.
You can even set up the camera app to launch after you press two times in a row the lower volume button. Optional this can also be set to directly trigger a snapshot -> I tested this and took around 1 second for opening app + focus + snapshot. I would rate that as very fast

I use this feature most of the time.
The speed is pretty good, the camera opens quickly and the pictures are quickly satisfied.
Burst mode only takes 1.3s to open
Sent from my Huawei Honor 9 using XDA Labs
You can launch very quickly and immediately start taking burst photos.

the camera is very slow to take pictures in low light conditions (e.g. an indoors party) it takes about 5 to 10 sec between pressing the button and the camera taking the picture.
I'm running android 5.1.1 that came with the phone (not rooted)
I tried changing settings and selecting a specific iso setting, white balance and macro instead of auto focus does make it quicker, about 3 seconds.
Any thoughts?
Anyway to take a photo with more than 10 seconds exposure? tweaking the stock camera or using other app... i tried an older version of camera fv-5 with 20 seconds long exposure but it only allows 2.1 MP (1920x1080) but the latest version limits that long exposure to only 10 seconds with full resolution (12MP - 4032x3024).
Regards!
I don´t even know how to do 10s :/

Only available in pro mode.
i would love to see if someone can port one of the LG flagship's camera app like G4, V10 or G5
Would interesst me too, would be Great to capture the night Sky! I already hat good results when stacking the Images, but more time with lower iso would be Great to have.
I tried 10 second+ exposures with my Note 7 before I sent it back. They didn't turn out great. I was camping and it was super dark.
I used a tripod and a phone mount and used a Long Exposure app from the play store to get longer than 10 seconds. And pro mode with the stock app for a 10 second exposure.
10 Seconds would be cool in a city to capture moving traffic but it's not long enough to capture the sky. Long than 10 seconds creates so much noise the photo isn't usable.

if i recall correctly, the long exposure apps from the app store lock the resolution at 1080p and so the noise may be more pronounced. It would definitely be interested in seeing an update to push pass 10 seconds for more options.
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.

If we close camera app then open again there is some delay for opening the app. If the app is in memory then its open very quickly.
If I do the ultra shot (volume down twice), it will show me my time until the camera takes the picture. Average is 1.2 sec.
It's less than a second.
1.3 seconds average for ultrasnapshot

When launching from the power button double click , it takes around 1 second to have the camera app open and working. Could be faster, but it suits my needs and I often take random spontaneous pictures of my cat

Double tap power key to wake up camera app is not working with my S9+. My phone is Made in India. How to fix this as my phone is missing a useful camera shortcut.

How fast is focusing speed and shutter lag, specially in less optimal lighting like indoor share? If subject is moving constantly is there can you still get good shot relatively easy or is it hopeless?
