hi guys sorry for this thread, i just want to ask something
in the past few days i had read android police and engadget review about nexus 5 and i notice that they having problem in camera they experiencing a shutter lag specially in low light and no light condition just a flash, is it possible to fix this by software update or is it hardware related?
i planned to buy this phone by december so is it possible to fix it by update?
this phone is powerful that's why i'm hoping that the camera can perform without shutter lag or with at least a milliseconds shutter lag, i don't care for the quality

Seems software related because there's a zip on the dev side that improves the shutter lag and improves other things as well.
Is there a camera app to adjust shutter speeds slower than s7 Edge's 10s limitation? Thanks for your help.
I have been wondering this as well, can't find anything, not sure if a mod is possible or if this is a limitation in the camera's firmware.
I am a photographer by trade. I have been using Zero Camera Mod for a while now but I am looking to increase the shutter speed to 30s as opposed to the current max of 10s. I don't know how to start though. I think it is possible since it can be done on the S5 and LG G4.
Is there anyone here who can point me to the right direction?
Hi,
I've noticed micro-stutter in transition animations to the point where im convinced its capped to 30fps.
I looked into the issue and checked the hardware specs using adb, and noticed that the display itself only had a refresh rate of 58hz. This shouldnt be a problem (doubt anyone could see a 2hz difference) but somehow it seems to be. I believe it has something to do with vsync recognizing this and cutting the fps to 30 since it doesnt support 58fps. Either that or vsync is capped to 30fps, in which case it'd be helpful if someone could tell me what I can do, if anything. (is it posisble to disable vsync altogether in /sys/module/DC/vsync_enabled? It's not exposed)
Don't really know why it bugs me so much, but it does, it makes everything look choppy.
Thanks.
Hi there and welcome to assist,
Tell us more about your device, please.
Thanks
Hi guys, I am new to the forum. Its good to be here.
So, I just installed camera fv 5 lite and the problem is that the shutter speed goes to a maximum of 1/11 secs. I was reading another guys tutorial and his one plusone could go to 64 seconds! He mite have had the paid version but still even in the light version it shouldn't be this low! I am confused why this is happening!
Please can someone give me a fix for this especially those of you familiar with camera fv 5. Or another app that allows to set exposure, shutter speed etc which works on xperia xz. Hope some of you guys can help me out.
Have a great day.
I've tried several 3rd party camera apps, even paid versions, including the paid version of FV-5 and none of them would offer a slower shutter speed than 1/10 second. I believe that is the slowest that Sony surfaces through the api to other apps.
Also none of the other apps allow any higher resolution than 8MP.
Lastly, I couldn't get FV-5 to even work on my XZ. I could take a couple of photos then the app appears to lock up. The circle in the center keeps spinning like it can't obtain focus.

Thanks for your reply, Fred! That is sad news though. I also tried several 3rd party apps (bought one too) but as you said, the shutter speed does not go below 1/10s. I wonder if you can root your device and fiddle around to change it from there or is it more of a hardware issue (kind of a noob when it comes to these things). The thing is I was reading an article where this guy used his OnePlus One to take epic milky way pictures just using his phone, fv 5 and a tripod. His phone and fv 5 allowed him a 64 second shutter speed! The results were unbelievable. I though to myself an Xperia XZ with such a great camera would do wonders but apparently not
BTW Fred, the issue you told me regarding fv 5 (spinning), it happened to me too but I think I just was not keeping the phone steady. When I kept the phone steady it would circle around, turn green, and take the picture (but I have a feeling your problem might be different). Just trying to help you out.
Thanks again man.
I hope there is some fix/hack out there that can reduce the shutter speed to at least 30-40 seconds. Samsung S7 has a 10 second shutter speed!

I'm not sure if there will be a way to get a very long shutter speed. The Sony camera app jas a max of only 1 sec., which, to me, is still very fast. Other phones that i have allow up to about 30 secs max shutter speed.
I should add that the problem i observed with FV-5 only occurs when I take the app out of auto mode, specifically go to shutter priority. Happens even in strong sunlight. I just downloaded and tried it agaik, since i got the android 7.1.1 update last night. Same problem, no change

Camera fv 5 is the worst for manual control for Sony devices in my opinion. I Advice snap camera hdr. There you can use manual controls at full resolution and some extra things. But shutter speed same.

Thank you for your reply! I will download the app you suggested. I just wish there was some way the shutter speed can be reduced!
Thanks again man. Really appreciate it!

I think there isn't a mode for now. But, this app is really complete. You must active camera2 api to have everything

Yeah, I activated it. It seems like a good app. Thanks for the suggestion again!
