I've seen a lot of posts bemoaning the fact the S5 camera has no manual shutter speed settings, there's a solution....
CameraFV5 offers manual speeds and a lot more besides
Also has a companion Video app CinemaFV5
Both are available on Google Play.
Oh, and I have no connection with the developer, I'm just a happy user....
I can confirm this as a photographer. FV5 is wonderful. Now we just need a better CMOS in the phone....

sorry to disappoint u ive been testing this app since long time and manual shutter control never worked :/
Works fine for me...
I;m not sure what's happening with yours but it works fine for me, including the custom shutter speeds...just checked again with 5 and 20 second exposures...definitely working..
Just given the app a try. Manual shutter control did work. Will give this a play, thanks for posting.

but manual shutter is not working, also on s4 and s3 it did not worked. no matter what exposure time you set it is always standard time, if i set 10 seconds image should be too bright but its almost black like in stock camera (dark room)
Manual shutter doesnt work

I agree with Yahyoh as well. Doesnt work on my G900F S5 as well. In fact, it if I select, say, 1 second shutter, the shutter appears to remain open for 1 second but there is no difference on picture quality.
Ya doesn't work. Manual speed doesn't really affect shutter times. The output is also limited to 2 MP. Would be nice to have a real option like in one plus one camera.
There's no shutter right now..
This thread might be one month old but still shows up on top of google when looking for samsung camera shutter speed, so I decided to clear some stuff up.
1. Manual shutter speed means that you can control how long your shutter is opened and thus affectt amount of light comming into it (= makes making night photos easier but might require a tripod).
2. Google added new camera api with Android 5.0. This API allows for manual shutter and shutter control and RAW file saving, HOWEVER phone maker must still update camera firmware for it to work.
3. Only few phones with Android older than 5 had those manual options, im speaking about those huge camera-phone hybrids like samsung galaxy camera for instance. So if you do not have android 5+ then there is NO real shutter control or focus control on your phone.
Now lets go to FV which is wonderful piece of software:
1. It is first android app to support Lolipops camera features, however for those features to work camera firmware must be upgraded.
2. Almost no one upgrade their camera firmware as of yet, FV manual options work only on Nexus5 and 6 at the moment. And this is a huge letdown and dissapointement. Another dissapointement is apathy from android community which does not seem what a great camera features they are missing because of oems lazyness.
3. If you do not have updated camera firmware then FV will enable a 'false' shutter mode, which is just capturing images from screen preview (thats why theres 2mp or so size limit) and then mixing them up together using image processing techniques - this is nowhere near how real shutter works.
4. Only time when you have a working shutter and manual focus is when you have android 5.0 phone with camera firmware that supports those changes, which are only few right now - nexus 5 and 6, maybe one or two other but for sure not our galaxy s5 ( I have s5 with official 5.0 and it does not have those features)..
I'm saying this from ex-windows phone user perspective, who is really dissapointed in how android develops at the moment. I've had windows phone and they have those features for at least 2 years now. (But then Nokia/MS used to practice dirty tricks as well, like in order to make new phones more appealing they reduce max/min possible shutter speeds on older phones).

I was reading up for my wife's GS5, I tired the app before reading above comment on my Nokia X2 DS. Custom shutter seems to work I tried with 5 seconds and 10 seconds.

but you cant make 1/8000s
its not real shutter speed, with proper shutter speed control as in a DSLR, the shutter opens and stays open for the time set, In FV5 is just takes a series of pictures very fast and stacks them, amounting to no difference in exposure, just blurriness.
So a 5 sec exposure in a very poorly lit environment still comes out near pitch black instead of properly exposed
Hi guys,
Is the 1/10 shutter speed available in manual camera the longest possible on this phone?
I know that on Z3c it was something like 1/8...not a big difference but it's there.
Did anyone find any detailed specs about the camera on the internet because i didn't?
I attached a screenshot for you guys to know what i'm talking about.

What app is this?
Enviat des del meu E5823 usant Tapatalk
The app is "Manual Camera".
That's is Camera2 API Limit.
"Is the 1/10 shutter speed available in manual camera the longest possible on this phone?"
That's is a Camera2 API limit...
Galaxy S6 does has a 10sec on to 5.1.1 (but in a 6.0.1 does has a OOTB of Stock Camera about a 10s ,1/10s it's at same limit shutter on 5.0.2 as Z5c)
URL for Info: camerafv5.com/pages/manual-camera-controls-table.php
But maybe maximum shutter speed it's a 1/4000s right...? [But I can be mistake...]
How?
Isn't there a way to write new drivers for the camera so that we can get longer shutter speed? It would be great to have 30-60 seconds
I know this is rude to ask after the company haven't provided devs with the kernal source as promised but is there any mode or camera app which let u get 30 sec of shutter speed with raw support.
Pls help
Yes use open camera.
Kernel source released some time back...where have you been hiding?
https://c.realme.com/in/post-details/1134295513231785984
My apologies for not researching on my behalf for the kernal source release date
And I acn get only 1.7 sec of exposure from open camera
Even camera fv5 give about 15 sec
And the one plus camera keep crashing when trying to use the pro mode
1/4 or 0.3s shutter limit in all apps camera, with vendor Android 10, Stock & Custom
install the open camera and I have the same problem as in the stock camera, also using custom rom I have exactly the same problem, anx camera also keeps the problem, and the same happens when installing fv5 camera Is there any alternative or solution to this problem?
Before updating to Android 10 the maximum exposure time was up to 32 seconds.
