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?

Hi,
My camera is very very slow. The quality seems good but when filming and moving the phone everything is very blurry. Is this normal / common issue?
If I take a picture of something it has to be absolutely still otherwise the picture is blurred.
When I direct it to a wall which is 1 color the camera if very fast, but when I move it to a colored area with lights etc, it flickers 1 time and then it goes very slow, as if some filter is applied in areas which are lighter.
I get this also and upgrading the radio has not solved the problem.
I've noticed that it seems to be fast in daylight?
Theres a camera trick in the forums - kaiser I think about switching off the phone (sleep mode by pressing the power button) whilst the camera is on and switching it back on again improving the speed but I have not been able to make it work.
The Polaris camera is very good in daylight conditions! If you try to take pictures in low light conditions the fps will drop so that it seems like it is very slow.
Try this little trick for videos or pictures in low light conditions with max fps:
1. Activate camera with camera button
2. Put your finger on the camera lens and hold it there
3. Turn of Screen / Put Polaris into sleep mode and wait 5 - 8 seconds
4. Activate Polaris screen again with power button
5. Now you can take pictures / videos with max fps!
But be aware of the fact, that with this little trick the iso lightening won't work anymore and the pictures will be darker and have lower quality!
After using the camera in better light conditions, everything will be as before the trick!
WOW! and that actually DID work
thanks for tip friend, I can live with the lower quality if I can get a decent video recording... The ones I've done before were rubbish. I would have been embarassed to show them to anyone... except maybe at a 60's convention..the blurryness was a little psychadelic!
The trick seems to work! Isn't there a way to modify the rom to always disable the light filter?
The other front camera is always working very fast, it's just the one on the back.
Thanks!
Maybe UDK might build it into his v9 release? (hint, hint!)
As far as i know there is no chance to tweak some software or a rom so that the problom won't occur again. When starting the camera it's hardware will always activate the iso lightning and therefore there will be those fps drops in low light conditions.
It has something to do with the lack of hardware drivers which could keep high fps rates also in low light conditions..... BUT i'm not sure because of the diamond!
If you compare it with the diamond, there ARE some video drivers but the performance of the camera is nearly the SAME as on Polaris.... in some situations even worse and less fps rates!

It has absolutely nothing to do with drivers. The phone's night mode isn't simply adjusting the ISO. The phone is allowing more light into the sensor, thus keeping the shutter open longer. Doing so blurs the picture if you move around. Any phone with a night mode does the same thing. In fact any digitial camera with a nightmode will also do this.

OMG, it works! thx a lot!
Can I ask how to modify this trick via a .reg file?
As said above, this cannot be done. You'll have to do it manually each time.

Ok, but how about setting a value for nightmode, so it wont be used in mediocre lit areas thus increasing performance?(maybe to finally allow to make some nice, steady pictures) I think HTC overdid it a little.
And how can you explain this trick, fooling phone that it's complete darkness, so it decides to turn nightmode off? Kinda weird.
Also what LightSensorHz(50) registry value does?

Hello,
I have been using my Mi Mix 3 for a couple of weeks and I noticed something annoying when taking pictures. If I shoot someone who is moving a little there is a strong blurry effect, as if the shutter speed wasn't quick enough. I have the same issue with other camera apps that I have installed.
Is there a specific setting to solve this matter ?
Thanks!
Shutter speeds depends of light conditions, like in any other camera. Do this in sunny day, on the beach, in park and You will do picture without blur. When the conditions get worse, it's mainly the light, in evening, in the darkened places, the shutter needs to open for a long time to record a sufficient bright picture. The consequence of this is blur when the object is moving. It's normal.

Thank you for your answer. Unfortunately I have the same issue with good light conditions. I'm going to try again but it starts worrying me.
Try turn off hdr and AI
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?
https://www.cyanogenmods.org/moto-g8-plus-gcam-7-0/
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.
I received my Note20Ultra today and absolutely love it. However, theres this small quirk the camera post processing keeps wanting to adjust after taking a picture in very low light.
I attached a screen recording of the instance which you can view to see for yourselves.
I apologize for my immigrant ass music lol I didnt realize it was capturing mic sounds too ?
I guess I can't attach a video but I uploaded it to Samsung link share so heres the link for that
https://linksharing.samsungcloud.com/zS2NInk4tIVK
So I wanted to take a pic of the cruise control buttons in focus but with the gauges having a really nice natural bokeh to them.
But right after taking the picture I'll quickly go to view it and actually like what I see, but theres a little circle at the bottom spinning like its loading something.
Once done loading the picture turns to absolute garbage.
I tried turning scene optimizer off but that didnt do anything, turning HDR off helped a little but not much.
Its a weird shot I know but my Note 10+ does it just fine.
For comparison this is the same type of shot I took with my Note10+
Love that the shadows stayed pitch black, even while moving.

I have that song stuck in my head now, even though I have no clue what the lyrics are about!

If I'm not wrong, for taking a good enough picture in low light you have to keep the shutter of the camera open for more time, to be able to capture more light.
It's a long exposure.
What you see "loading something" is the actual time it keeps the shutter open.
During its process you have to be still until it finishes or it will result a blurry picture.

You are correct in the fact that a camera needs extended shutter time to take in more light for low light but thats not what I was referring to here.
I was talking about the loading circle AFTER the picture was taken, the one where Im viewing the photo and it suddenly changes from a nice shot to an over exposed mess lol
The night mode carries over from the S20 Ultra. Hate it when I have a decent capture and post adds weird chroma and focusing artifacts. I was hoping this would be fixed but nope. It's even more pronounced because you're coming from a Note10+...
For best results in those scenarios is to use pro mode, adjust your ISO to the lowest possible where the shutter speed still allows for reasonable lack of motion blur. If everything is rock solid (tripod and stationary subject), you can get some nice shots @50ISO and whatever shutter speed is required for decent exposure.

Looking at the data of the photo it does look like it jacked the ISO up to 1600 which is ridiculous lol
Appreciate the input, looks like PRO mode for weird shots like this is the go to feature.
Other than this little scenario this camera is amazing, not saying the Note10+ is bad by any means because it has been my favorite camera to shoot with, up until now.
Hi
While making a video of close objects Whenever the system shifts to zoom lens the saturation increases and colors become over saturated.
I make videos of gems and stones. and for that purpose i bought this camera.
Especially the blue stones become too blue when i zoom in and zoom lens turns on.
Is there a way where we can select individual lens manually so that the zoom lens doesn't turn on unless I want it.
Try with turned of AI. If nothing changes after that I don't know what can you do.
When the device switching between camera modules maybe is normal to have problems with saturation. All three camera modules have different apertures and they receive a different amount of light.
The only solution that I found is by using the pro mode and setting the white balance manually when the zoom lens turns on. By doing that the camera keeps the selected saturation even when the lens gets changed.
This is what I think. Need to confirm it with different color items.
You guyz check it aswell.
I hope mate 40 doest have the same problem. Quite disappointing bug considering the price of the phone and camera quality.
