Long exposure photos - Moto G8 Plus Questions & Answers

Hi there, I noticed in the Moto camera app the exposure time is 1/3' at max. I'm wondering if there is a solution to have longer time exposure, I'd like shooting stars and I need at least 10 sec exposure. I tried other cameras from the store but all of them are limited to 1/3' of exposure.

Use Night Visión. Autodetects how little light there is and adjusts the exposure time accordingly. In total lack of light I managed to get up to 5 sec of exposure time

Has anyone tested GCAM 7.0 on this device?

If someone installed it, please share some information about the mode of astrophotography?
Is it really possible to take astrophotographs of up to 30 seconds as it says on the website?
Is it possible to save long exposures in RAW / DNG?
If someone is successful, could you share some long exposure images? Appreciate.

Is it possible to increase the maximum exposure time on the s7.

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

More than 10 seconds long exposure

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.

manual camera apps or pro mode not working fine

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

Could someone please check the following (simple?) camera setting.

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).

How to stop long exposure shots?

Hello,
Sorry if this has been asked before, i've searched far and wide but didn't find a solution.
So, poco f2 pro stock camera has long exposure modes (oil painting, light painting, star trails etc). My question is about the oil painting and star trails modes, which if i am correct have unlimited exposure times (star trails mode suggests exposure of 30 mins or longer).
Now, i am able to start the shot with the remote from my mi tripod. But to stop shooting, the remote doesn't work, so i have to touch the shutter button on screen, which beats the purpose of the tripod if the phone shakes. I've also tried with volume buttons and the result is the same, i can start the shot but can't stop it.
Is there any solution for stopping the long exposure shots without touching the screen?
