Slower shutter speeds#48

It would be great to be able to have slower shutter speeds as right now it maxes out at 1 second. Times of 2, 3, 5, 10, 15 and 30 would be amazing, especially for astro photography

We would love to support long exposures in the future. For now, we are limited to the speeds the hardware supports though.

I asked also about it. I wrote also to Apple so the API for long exposure and nightmode will open for all

@Sarah.baumann Did you get any answear from Apple?

No, actually not. Wrote this mail yesterday. So time will come

I see, thanks

Taking silky milky waterfalls requires slow shutter speeds.

Image stacking identical frames is a valid work around for this in many situations and almost completely solves the daylight applications (waterfalls, removing people etc), but it would be good to call it what it is if added. I’ll see if this exists in a separate issue and make a new one to highlight it if not.

I added a thorough suggestion in a new thread to cover the averaging functionality that would cover many of these use cases.

Yes! Please, some slow shutter options would be great. I also enjoy astrophotography so a night mode is a must-have.

I currently use spectre for this so there should be at least a software way to handle it

As there’s a limit imposed by hardware, how about simulating longer exposures by burst-style shooting multiple shorter exposures and blending them together? Then users could have exposures as long as they wanted!

EDIT: Ah, I see that’s basically what @Ryan Filgas said already, re image stacking. That would be amazing!

I agree. Long exposure times would be my priority.
