How to capture clear pictures of the night sky? - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Does anyone here know how to capture clear pictures of the stars in the sky? Is it even possible with the S7 Edge?
I'd imagine I would need to keep the shutter open for a long time and have the phone rest on a tripod. The only problem is that I can't figure out how to keep the shutter open long enough. The stock camera app only lets you keep it open for a few seconds.

I've never try it yet, but have you try using the third party camera?

Which 3rd part camera?
I tried it using the pro settings and keeping the shutter open as long as the built in camera app allows but it doesn't let enough light it.
I know I'm asking for a lot considering how small the sensor is and I can get the shots im looking for with a Cannon DSLR and a Samsung NX 500 but I'm just trying to see how I can do with the S7E.

You can try the Lenx app from the play store

Nexus 4 camera trigger..

Is there any way to take a photo using the volume keys on the phone?
There seems to be no easy way to take self portraits using the stock camera app.
I don't want that to sound weird but I just want to take pictures of me and the kids and I've suddenly realised how difficult it is to do it with the stock app!
Even a 5 second delayed shutter would be fine..

You do realize there is a front facing camera, don't you?
Try out an app called Camera JB+ Looks just like stock and has what you're asking for.

Lol, yeah I walked right into that one!
I tried the front camera but the quality was not great!
Camera JB+ looks nice but doesn't have HDR or PhotoSphere modes!

Install the cyanogenmod cam. There you have delayed shutter, voice shutter, Hdr and you can take photos by pressing the power button. But it don't have photosphere. There are zips available on xda where you have both cams.

[Q] HDR Videos?

I though the latest update would bring HDR videos, although, i'm running GoldenEye which is based off MF8 and i cant seem to find how to take videos with HDR. Anybody know?

it is in fact always on. its just a tweaked algorithm that subsamples every other line, averages, and feeds that data into the compression algorithm. Gives about 0.7 stops better DR performance, so worth it. also the auto exposure methods for video and camera are slightly better, but very slightly slower.

dual shot won't work

Hey I was trying the camera on the note 3 and it won't let me click dual shot button ? It worked before because when I got the phone I tried it also I did the new software update last night maybe that did somthing
Same here. And camera is slowest than my note 2 and even my old s2. One once processing, once not. Both ways is super slow.

I fixed it go into manage app for camera and clear data then it works
I had the same..had to click front camera and set auto..then back camera to auto. It then let me use dual shot!!!

it happens because your video recorder is set in 4k format you need to set a lower resolution and then the camera will allow you to use dual shot function

For me turning off the night stabilisation mode & setting auto flash made it better in low light places. Can't say I've had any issues with daylight photos.

maybe different setting
and maybe problem with ur variant and will solve by an update
and also it can be hardware problem in last step IF u become sure no software problem
so
1. play with settings
2. search for other users that exactly in same firmware with u and compare photo ...
3. if u find any different (bad quality in urs) try to flash another stock rom (from another regions)
4. if nothing change take it for service to check lens
:good:

The camera has Jeckel and Hyde characteristics.Outdoor shots are superb for a smartphone but when you venture indoor or at night,it takes pretty awful photos.Smart Stabalisation brightens things up and limits noise but you lose all detail.If you crop in, faces and objects look like cartoon drawings.There is only so much you can do with a small sensor so I think the N3 needs a dedicated night mode and better software.don't hold your breath though.Samsung will fix this issue up but only when the N4 arrives with their isocell technology.
If you want decent photos at night you need to use the flash but the flash doesn't work well past 10 ft.

Low shutter speed on the camera app

I got my phone over a month ago, and I'm loving the camera.
However, I can not find a camera app which lets me adjust the shutter speed at more than 10 seconds.
Camera FV-5 was what I was suggested, but it maxes out at 1/10s. Any help?

I dont know, but it reminds me that I've wanted to modify a case to attach to the piggyback mount on my telescope. How are you intending to mount your phone for such long exposure?

I have a few mini tripods and phone mounts at home, they should be sufficient. I would also use the headphones as a remote shutter to reduce shaking.
