The following image has been shot on my Galaxy S20FE using pro mode. EXIF info - f2.2, 0.3 seconds shutter speed, ISO 80
Location - Dadar, Mumbai
Go to pro mode - Select ultrawide lens - Set the shutter speed to 0.3 seconds - set the ISO to 80 (Remember - lower the ISO, lesser the noise) You can try to keep the ISO values between 50 to 100 - check your phone's screen for live preview - set the white balance to auto - set the exposure to 0.0 - keep the focus mode on auto mode - keep your hands steady and hit the shutter button!
Tips :
1. Setting the ISO is the trickiest part while shooting long expo shots as inappropriate ISO values can add unnecessary noise to the image, making the image look blurry and soft. Always remember - Lower the ISO, lesser the noise and sharper the image!
2. Set the white balance to auto mode. Setting it in auto mode will help the phone to decide the best white balance settings for you. Your phone knows better than you, in this scenario. Also, inappropriate white balance values can change the whole look of the image so play it safe by keeping the white balance in auto mode.
3. Set the focus in auto. This will ensure a sharp focus throughout the image.
4. Always check the screen of your phone while applying different settings. Your phone shows live preview of the settings you apply. Change ISO and shutter speed values by trial and error method to get the best optimum result.
5. The best time to explore pro mode is to shoot in dark scenarios.
6. Have patience. Always click multiple images for the same setting.
So go and explore the maximum capabilities of your Galaxy phone's camera! And remember to keep your hands steady while shooting 😉
