Hi guys, i have recently enabled camera2api string with build.prop editor, so i tried some camera apps that have manual mode like Footej, Proshot and Manual camera. The main issue is that the maximum shutter speed that i can have is 1sec on Footej, how is this even possible? I'd like to take long exposure low ISO photos in the night, but it's not possible. Is there any setting to unlock? It's a pity to have that camera without this feature. I hope that someone could solve this, thanks and sorry for my english
nobody knows anything?
I'd love to know if long exposure is possible also

Since the SGSII has a pretty good camera I was wondering if it is possible to manually lock exposure, shutter and ISO settings?
With a full HD resolution I would like to get some nice filming done but without the camera automatically adjusting settings. It ruins the look.
Maybe there is already software out there which I havent found?
Cheers!

The main thing is seems that you'll want to do is to manually adjust the white balance rather than keeping that on Auto.
Exposure lock: There's no exposure lock. However, you can manually adjust the exposure value. So if you want to shoot something bright, you can lower it. If you want to shoot something dark, you can increase it.
Shutter speed. There's no way to manually adjust the shutter speed. (So you can't capture something like a waterfall with slow shutter speed to get the motion effect.) Like most non-DSLR cams, the shutter speed is automatically adjusted depending on lighting conditions, flash, and ISO.
ISO. Yes, ISO can be manually adjusted.
The cam is great and can probably replace most people's dedicated point&shoot cams. But it's definitely not as versatile as even a budget DSLR cam.
The camera changes exposure wile you are shooting. That my problem is.
When I walk out of my flat with my camera switched on I don't want to see the automatic exposure correction. Dunno how to describe but have you never seen the effect when you pan from a window to your wall? It must be possible to lock these settings to eliminate the automatic correction.
What I like to see as an option is the autofocus, I got lot's of refocussing in low light conditions when focus was actually perfect
Also would be really awesome if you could set the exposure time to image starry nights, I mean, the device is called Galaxy is it not
Unfortuanely I am not a developer so I cannot contribute to these options and can only hope some cool devguy with the knowhow has the same wishes as me
Hi!
I've been trying to create photos and videos about objects that are close to the camera, but the phone always focuses on the background.
Are there any way to get manual focus? (Set lenses manually) - maybe from another device/rom?
I know, there is a touch to focus in photo mode, can be usefull sometimes but not perfect.
If no chance to manual focus, how can I use the Touch To Focus option while video recording? - That can't be hardware limitation, as we can use it in photo mode.
Thanks.
I use single auto focus while shooting video, works quite well for me...
Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the phone for mainly video recording.
I'd purchase a stabilizer gimbal with the phone, and use it 95% time in wide angle mode to record 4k videos.
As I don't yet have the phone it's hard for me to tell how good it is for that purpose, but I know that i'd definitely need the following things in video mode:
- turn inbuilt stabilizer off
- change exposures
- lock exposure
- manual ISO setting
- manual shutter speed would be nice, but not essential
- manual focus that stays focused on one place
- NO unnecessary focus hunting in automatic mode (God...that ruins so many videos!) - i hope the laser focus works here
These are usually fairly basic requirements for Photography mode, but sometimes they don't include these in video mode.
If they are not built in the default camera app, does other playstore camera app(like "Manual camera") work on the phone with these settings?
I currently have a Moto X Style that I love, but the video features are all automated and many of the above is locked
Thank you all for the answers

So even though there was no answer, I have went to a phone shop and tried it there. I found that in video mode manual settings are not possible at all, which is a big letdown for the G5.
I'm hoping at least that Open camera at least works on it. That should allow manual controls for video too. Has anybody tried it?
Hi!
Open camera is working fine. One of the few apps that also can use the wide angle camera!
When I want to record video with perfect audio I use my zoom h2n recorder as external mic and adjust the audio gain: perfect for rock concerts, etc.
Just buy a USB-C OTG adapter to USB 3.0 (normal size). Then connect the cable from the mic. At last - perfect audio!
the only advanced & working app I've found till date (which can EVEN change options during recording) is Cinema FV-5.
OpenCamera could be used too sometimes, if you dont have something better.
Ive mostly used 3rd party video apps with my G5, instead of the stock camera too, though its hard to find one that will use both lenses.

Hello dear friend, recently bought G5 and trying to find app that enable manual movie functions and uses both lenses, could you find any app???
I recently bought the a52s, and it is great in every way so far, but I was wondering if there is a way to enable HDR in the camera instead of auto because it doesn't pick up every time and HDR does give a nice look to the photos IMO
any help is appreciated
Hi,
Since HDR in camera app is producing more or less watercolor like paintings (and don't get me started with the "funny" AI option) is there a way to permanently disable it? It's really annoying to manually disable it every time I start camera app. I usually forget to turn it off anyway and end up with unusable images. And yes, I'm using gcam too but this one has it's own set of problems.
Really, how hard is it to make a normal camera app? Camera hardware is clearly capable of good results but software is so bad it's frustrating.
I agree, the HDR implementation is a mess ! And it's very frustrating because without HDR enabled the app delivers pretty amazing pictures .
As a workaround for now I only use the camera in the expert mode (with all the settings in auto) because in this mode the HDR is never enabled and the picture quality is the same as the standard mode.
