Hi, unfortunately I"m back again with another problem ...
Randomly my camera locks (marked as gray) the other Focus Modes (Macro, Infinity, Auto) and keeps only the Continous selection. The same happens also with the Camcorder. Randomly.
The Camera app is located in the Phone memory.
And, ehmm, the Camera.apk I using is from the Cyanogen mod 6, that with the Continous AF in Video Recording (delicious )
Thanks for the answer.
If i'm correct, this happens only when u select a different scene mode instead of using "auto" option.
Yes, you are correct Thanks
I can't lower the shutter speed than 1/5.i tried installing other apps still can't change it,I mainly want it for light painting.my phone is rooted system keeps.is there a workaround for lowering my shutter speed?
I am not sure! But i think you need to lower your exposure... The general rule of thumb in camera says that you need to open your aperture in order to increase your shutter time... I got no idea if that is possible...
I'm rooting my device then enabled cam2api on this device in order to get the ability to manually adjust the camera parameter setting (ISO, shutter speed, etc) and after the cam2api is enabled i got acces to the manual setting (i also verify this using Manual Camera Compatibility app and the test result showed that it worked)
I installed and try different camera app such as camera fv-5, dslr camera, etc (basically any camera app that has manual camera setting) and i found it when i set my shutter speed more then 5 second, if i take a picture it will freeze up the camera app (no matter what the app i use), though in the camera app i can set the shutter speed to maximum 10 second
My question :
1. Is this bug or hardware limitation?
2. Anyone know what is the maximum shutter speed for this device? (I'm planning for doing long exposure photography using this device camera)
3. Does anyone know the other minimum and maximum camera parameter from this device? (ISO, apperture)
Thanx for u'r answer
I have used Camera FV-5 Lite without root...it gave me shutter speed of upto 60 seconds...the camera would not freeze too....it's good but light streaks are not smooth....there is also a camera developer option if you click the red eye button several times...there in the manual user settings you can put manually 10000 milliseconds or 10 seconds...but in my 4Gb variant & .337 update it was only 340 milliseconds or 1/3 rd second...and a 6 GB variant with .326 update it was 500 milliseconds...and with 3Gb variants it's 10000 milliseconds or 10 seconds with latest update as I heard...ASUS phones are reacting differently in different variants and different updates..it seems that 3Gb variant is the strongest in camera department....it's funny and surprising.... I am attaching a photo taken with Cam FV-5 Lite and the manual settings comparison...moreover ISO of 4gb and 6 GB is upto 1550 whereas in 3Gb variant it is upto 1600. Please share your views. And ASUS I don't know what are you upto? In Hedge Camera in fireworks mode and 100 ISO it's giving decent slow shutter speed but not always..Alas I am also attaching a photo of hedge cam.
Does anybody know what the peak option mean?
Where he's focusing
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.
