My Galaxy S4 would quickly just take a picture where my S5 tells me to hold the camera steady while a swirling circle goes round and round.
I am talking about well lit indoor shots.
My friends iphone 5 just takes a picture where my S5 takes 20-30 seconds of holding the camera steady to get a shot?
Is there a setting I should change to fix this?

Because Image Stabilization option would be turned "on" .
Turn that off and the Galaxy S5 would be taking picture just as fast as the iPhone 5.
Midskool is correct, but it should not take that long even with image stabilization on. When I see that message, it only takes an extra 2 seconds or so for the camera to take the picture.
So I just noticed that when I have flash set to auto, the screen blinks twice when I take a picture. Not sure if the picture is taken on the first or second blink but does anyone else see this?
Setting the flash to off or on removes the second blink.
Also when recording video, there's always a stutter at the beginning of the recorded video. It's like it skipped recording for a fraction of a second.
Have anyone seen this? I'm trying to figure out if it's a defective unit.
I have the updated software (with green battery indicator)
Thanks
I just tried the video, 3 times recording 15-30 seconds and no stutters experienced. Took a couple photos in a dark room and no blinks on the screen. I have the "safe" AT&T Note 7.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
I installed several versions of the Google camera app (4.1 & 4.2) on my s8 which all partially work.
If I press the button to take a picture. The flash goes off followed by a shutter sound almost immediately. But the actual picture is taken seconds later, so I have to keep the phone still and focussed. This works by day but by night, the flash is long gone by the time the picture is actually taken, leaving a dark picture.
Anyone else have this issue?
Any ideas on how to "hack" the shutter speed on oneplus 5?I want over 30 seconds of shutter speed to do a simple star trail since there appears to be no camera apps that can take photos automatically every 30 seconds (I'd still want to go over 30 seconds). I heard the oneplus 1 had a 64 second shutter speed max, I'd want to do the same.
How about taking a video and merging all the frames into a single image. Don't know how this would be done but I'm pretty sure it's possible.
I noticed that in pro mode I have the ability to set 30 seconds shutter, however this is not possible in any third party apps, they all have a maximum of 15 seconds. The ISO however is limited to 3200 in pro mode but 6400 in third party apps. Is this intentional by OP or is my phone behaving strange? Can someone confirm?
I also am frustrated about not being able to set both manual iso and shutter speed simultaneously in pro mode, if I do, the shutter speed is ignored. I have reported this as a bug twice to OP but not received any response, so I assume it's either intended to be that way or it's a bug that no one else is experiencing. To be precise, it does work some times but only in specific settings which seems to be random and I'm unable to see a pattern. Can someone confirm this or is it just me?
First of all, you can reach 6400 ISO in pro mode if you set it in auto and your shutter is like 1/8000. Which brings me to the point of questioning your "settings".
Why would you want a 6400 ISO if you have a very long shutter like 30 seconds? That is pointless in itself. This is basic photography and I don't think you understand the correlation between the two.
Not being rude but you should probably learn the basics first before ranting because it seems to me the phone knows what it is doing based on the scenario I've given above. I also tried it and it doesn't "ignore" each other.
Correct me if I misunderstood your intention.

Hi, thanks for the response. The only thing you misunderstood was my intention.. I really don't want to rant, I just want help and to know if I am the only one with this problem or if someone can confirm that this is how it is set up or if I'm doing something wrong.. I do understand basic photography even though I'm not a pro, I studied two years of photography but didn't make it my profession (15 years ago so I might be rusty)
The problem isn't that I necessarily want 6400 iso and 30 seconds shutter, that would just create a white photo.. However, some times I want to raise the iso more instead of the shutter when for example taking a picture of my 1 year daughter sleeping beautifully in a darker room. She doesn't tend to lay completely still for 30 seconds so I might raise the iso and live with the grainyness. If I adjust the ISO but leave the shutter on automatic, the shutter will just take a quick black photo and won't compensate on its own, so I then I might want to set the shutter on manual as well, this will however not work. This is what I mean.. The shutter setting will be completely ignored. I'm not getting anywhere with this in the op camera app. It works fine in other 3rd party apps, that is why I'm assuming it is a bug or there's something I don't know and am doing wrong..
The problem with 3rd part apps is that I can't choose 30 second shutter, only a maximum of 15sec. I can get around by changing camera app ever time I need to but I'd rather have one app that works for everything if possible..

Thanks for the clarification but in order to help you out I did the test myself.
Setting 1:
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 2
Result: Basically a black photo
Setting 2:
ISO: 3200
Shutter Speed: 2
Result: Bright enough photo
Setting 3:
ISO: 3200
Shutter Speed: 5
Result: Blownout photo
Setting 4:
ISO: 100
Shutter Speed: 5
Result: Black photo with some light
Both on Manual Setting. The rest is auto.
So I guess what you want to do works. Didn't do the 30 cause it takes too much time.

Thanks! So I tried these exact settings and also tried several manual ISO levels with 8 seconds shutter. Every image was taken instantly, no 2 second, no 5 second and no 8 second shutter. The image results were based solely on the ISO level. So in other words, my phone is the problem since I'm unable to perform the exact tests you just did. Thanks for taking the time! I will now try to contact OP for the third time and see if I can get a response.
