How to change Camera Shutter Speed in Android by Camera FV-5 Lite Free app

Share

Android Smartphone camera’s have come a long-way to be able to compete with point & shoot camera’s. The Phone cameras however, lack a bit when it comes to competing with low/mid-range DSLRs due to absence of many customisation options present in DSLR’s such as lenses, panning, zoom, Exposure ratio , shutter time and many more. Now, changing the shutter speed helps you capture a lot of creative photo’s especially the motion one’s such as blurring motion, or panning (blurring non-motion things) and many more. Here’s a simple tutorial on How you can change the Shutter speed on your Android phone for free using Camera FV 5 lite app

Tutorial to Change Camera Shutter Speed in Android by Camera FV-5 Lite App

  • That’s it ! you have easily changed the camera exposure shutter speed on your Android Smart phone ala DSLR!
  • Note – Increasing the shutter time captures motion, and causes the shutter to remain open for a longer time which generally blurs the motion . Since the normal hand cannot remain stable for 1 second, it may blur the image hence usage of tripod or any stable base for phone is highly recommended!
