Yes, RECENT DROIDS do have PROPER EXPOSURE LOCK.
Android app with white balance lock manual#
And sometimes a ISO like 323 is better than the 200 and 400 steps from the manual exposure menu. If you go along with your investigation on the Pro Shot app, you'll see that sometimes the auto mode shows you the ISO value. If you're talking about the Pro Shot app, it indeed has exposure settings for video, but the GAPS BETWEEN each value are huge for quite a lot of situations. Video mode only gets exposure compensation values. There's no complete exposure settings FOR VIDEO, pal. Well, I guess you haven't paid much attention to what you've read, but anyway, let me elaborate this a bit more: If the eV you need isn't covered by adjusting the eV, manually adjust the shutter speed and ISO. Phone cameras, no matter how expensive and "modern", simply will not match the performance of a full camera (except in sunlight where all of them are "great" as advertised).Īlso, since the question was also about exposure lock, fix the eV - but that will work only within a range of ISO and shutter values (to avoid sacrificing image quality). If I'd like a proper photo with proper settings which I can properly customize to my heart's delight, I'd use my X-T1 - not my old Lumia 1020 nor my iPhone 6s. Hence, if the SDK doesn't allow finer temperature white balance settings, it cannot be done.īut to qualify, even the settings in "many recent droids" are not "proper". My last communication with him went along those lines, that it is still limited by what the SDK allows to be done. Head over to the ProShot thread where the developer is quite active and responsive. WB though will not be as granular as ProShot (which I also have), but even the temperature values in ProShot use the same SDK. I remember because I've had shots that were too bright or too dark when moving from a dark place to a brighter place and vice versa. If I set ISO to 400 and Shutter speed to 1/100, and WB to "Sunlight", they stay that way until I change them.
