The exposure can be adapted on the screen while in the photo app.
However, all the pictures taken have the same exposure when opening them after.
So, the exposure setting does not translate to the saved images.
This is extremely frustrating. The pictures are often over exposed and that is difficult to edit.
Do you use pro mode?
No, but I just tried it and that works! The pic was saved as it was taken.
Why does it not work in photo mode? I’ll have to sett up the settings if I wanna take a quick snap on a sunset? I’m not that techie, sadly.
Because the normal mode is not meant to adjust manually.
How did you even manipulate especially the exposure time? The only way I know to manipulate is to select manually the part in the picture to be used to calculate the settings, like in this picture
vs fully auto
And for the pro mode: you could set everything to automatic and then only adjust exposure time.
When taking a picture in photo mode I simply touch the the lightest spot and the light auto adjusts. With te ring that appears on the screen I can further adjust the exposure, the darkness, and take a pic. These are the ones I can’t save.
Yes thats what I meant when you tap on a part of the picture, this part will be taken to caculate settings, and that works when you are fast to take the picture, see my first pic above. Btw in those pics above not the exposure time was changed but only ISO.
Just noted: In photo mode you can also actually lock AE/AF by tapping+holding, maybe thats what you are looking for, or works better.
And in Video mode you could go 1 step futher, lock AE/AF and then manually adjust brightness with a slider and take a picture
I do use the PRO but I can’t put the expouse time to 30 sec or more for the night sky for exemple and I can’t get the pictures as RAW to save it in that format.
Is there a issue or will be there a modification.
You cant because there is a max of 8 secs exposure time and the stock app does not support RAW…
For modification requests you would have to contact Fairphone directly via their support.
Have a look at this App.
The current beta version already has 8 seconds and the developer tries to prolong more if possible. It support RAW pics.
The developer will also try to work on the fact that the camera tends to crash the phone at the moment.
If you tap an area in the photo mode and the ring appears that indicates the location of exposure/focus, you can further adjust exposure by swiping up or down on the screen. This also works with the AE lock.
Maybe that helps the thread starter.
Hi and welcome to the forum,
That does not work in photo mode for me only in video mode🤔
I just tested it again and it works in photo mode for me.,
Photo and video mode behave exactly the same way.
Thank you. I was a quite reader since a while, but felt I can finally contribute something.,
Well thats weird so might have to file a bug report, thanks for confirming
It appears, that if the camera turns itself to HDR, you don’t have the option to adjust the brightness by swiping up/down.
Does anyone know how to turn off auto HDR ?
So I have another camera question. Am I remembering this completely wrong or was there an option to first tap the screen to lock the focus and then move a little dot to an area of the screen where I wanted the camera to calculate the exposure? I think I tried that on the FP5 in a store before I bought one. Now I can’t seem to find that option anywhere.
You cant turn HDR off in normal photo mode.
You are right, when auto HDR triggers I cant change exposure.
Thats possible in pro mode, that option is in the settings
