[Q] Longer exposure time in camera? - XPERIA X8 General

Can't we increase the exposure time in the camera's night mode? The original is 1/2 sec, which is short...
Can we modify the camera driver to allow more exposure time?
Otherwise, what controls the exposure time, ISO...? It depends on the camera hardware or the software?

How to lock exposure settings on video record?

I tried recording my car tonight and the exposures kept readjusting and gave me some serious vertical flares as well.
I focused on the car while recording but as soon as I stepped on the brakes, the camera readjusted the exposure settings.

There's no way to lock the exposure settings, or the focus settings (which dictate the exposure level depending on what you're focusing on) with the stock camera. You'd need to use a different camera app.

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).

Pixel 3a camera after update to Android 10

Here are my first impressions after the update to Android 10:
White balance presets have been removed for photos and videos. That's a stupid decision and I hope that they will add a color temperature slider in auto mode in the future. https://support.google.com/pixelphone/thread/16921343?hl=en
Machine learning white balance can't be turned off in Night Sight mode anymore. Previously you could turn off machine learning white balance and use the default white balance, if you used a white balance preset before using Night Sight.
Now HDR+ enhanced has the "super resolution" zoom algorithm. Previously this wasn't the case. Now the HDR+ enhanced zoom is about as good as the Night Sight zoom (in my opinion it's even better because Night Sight chooses too long exposures and can lead to slightly blurry photos)
HDR+ dng files have been fixed. Previously they were extremely desaturated. Though the update doesn't fix the dng files that were saved before the update. Furthermore the Lightroom mobile camera app still produces desaturated dng files.
When you use the Pixel 3a on a tripod in very bad light conditions, then it will combine thirteen 4s exposures (astro mode). When you zoom, it will combine fifteen 4s exposures. After one 4s exposure, it is possible to stop additional exposures.
Now the Pixel 3a has face detection autofocus, but I am not sure whether it works accurately.
Now the Pixel 3a has the Top Shot feature, but it seems to be useless as the image quality is terrible.
Bug: When you use exposure compensation in low-light conditions, the viewfinder can start to flicker. When you use AF lock, then this bug doesn't occur. You can use the exposure compensation after using the AF lock feature.
Bug: When you hold the phone too steady in Night Sight mode, the astro mode can turn on even though you don't use a tripod. This will lead to very blurry results. If the light conditions are not very bad and the astro mode doesn't turn on, it is still possible that Night Sight chooses 1.0s per frame. Before the update the maximum handheld exposure time per frame was approximately 0.85s in my case, often 0.5s.
Bug: This is a bug that already existed before the update. It hasn't been fixed: When you zoom or when you use Night Sight on a tripod (not astro mode), then several dead pixels can be visible. I have the impression that the astro mode handles the dead pixels better. https://www.dpreview.com/reviews/im...x=0.05119343664946224&y=0.0066202024429564575
Google Photos bug: Jpgs in the Photoshop Express folder do not look extremely sharp at pixel level in Google Photos. When I move them to a different folder, then they look sharper.

Nightscape doesn't take a longer exposure

Whenever shooting in nightscape mode, regardless of being on a tripod with the long exposure setting enabled, the camera still takes an instant photo. Anyone know why, or how to fix it?
