I have a Zenfone 4 max and since I was watching some videos on YouTube and I realized that the camera2 API existed, the bad thing is that my cell phone does not have it and that limits what I can do in terms of photography, since the options of the default camera in pro mode I can not change many parameters, with a maximum shutter time of 1/3 it is impossible to take long exposure photographs, and I also want to know if activating the camera2 API could increase the shutter time

There is no way to do it, I tried everything and in the end I ended up buying a new device.

Hello there,
I just bought myself a new s7 and I was looking in the pro mode of my camera, and found out that the maximum exposure time on the s7 is only 10 seconds. I downloaded camera fv-5 and had the same problem, so I think that the max exposure time is locked by samsung/google. (I haven't seen any longer exposure times then 10 seconds on ther people their s7 phones)
Is it somehow possible to increase the maximum exposure time by changing some kind of setting or number in te phone's files? (With or without root...)
Already thanks
I cannot find nothing. Wait for other people because I'm interested on this

I am experiencing focus problem with this new pro camera update. When I switched to manual focus, I can not focus on anything nor there is focus indicator on the screen. How is focus on your side?
Nokia 8 Camera tips:
Use “Twin” instead of “Color” mode for better low-light images in photo mode
In Pro Camera mode you can play with shutter speed to freeze motion by setting it at high (1/500 and around)
Set shutter speed as low for gathering more light though you need to keep your hand steady
Using low ISO helps in keeping the noise level less but then you need to set the shutter speed high to compensate.
There are some issues/surprises too that we noticed while doing hands-on with the Pro Camera.
The Pro Camera UI doesn’t get launched if you are in landscape mode
The shutter speed is limited to 1/2 sec maximum
ISO is limited to 1600 maximum

Actually, if you launch The Pro Camera UI in settings in landscape mode, it does work. I just can not get it how Nokia developers missed that.
Hello everyone
I'm from India, recently I had enabled camera2api in my Redmi note 5 pro. but after that some camera apps issue with shutter speed and some with ISO. even I set shutter speed to 10 or 12 seconds but it clicks normally as default Shutter speed. Due to this I can't take any long exposure shots. Gcam is ok but manual.....
If anyone knows any fix or any port, please reply.
Max exposure time is 1/2s,hope someone could made a long exposure time patch
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).
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?
