ProShot camera app.

[pennzoilgtr]

you can do that with ev settings, op is somehow not showing the real difference of the app. But I guess is worth the money if you are really into photography.

actually to be honest, im abit confused with the default app settings thats why im amazed with how easy to use and yet able to bring outstanding results with proshot ^^ personally im not really 100% into photography, just love mobile imaging my experience with camera is only until point&shoot and compact system.~

The function you are using is for taking long exposure pictures instead of extra light for dark enviroment. Which is why you need a tripod to take those pictures. Ev is for the purpose that combines slightly longer exposure plus digital enhance, doing the same job in a faster pace so that your image will not be distort by hand shake.

Honestly, I do not think it is possible to take photo with default app and have shutter speed 4 seconds. May be I do not know how to achieve that with default app so if someone know please advice me.
Anyhow I took one picture with shutter speed 1 second, ISO 100, here is result.

got what ya mean, btw i just tried, ev 1 1/3,2/3 & 2 with iso 100 looks pretty close to using ev 0, 4 sec with iso 100 using proshot. maybe the longer exposure is use for combination of night scene + light traces effects when taken at night streets.

that is why i bought this app ^^ anyway i just tried playing the ev setting in the default app and able to get similar night result, the difference is that i can't get effect like this in the pic due to its shorter exposure time of 1sec as compared to 4secs

Only problem I have with this is that I like to press my camera button to launch the camera, any way to change this to a different app? If so I would buy it.

EDIT - noticed I could just tap Lenses then ProShot, not perfect but better than unlocking and tapping the app!

Guess thats not possible at all even in future, thats why nokia put in Lenses for 3rd party photography app

ProShot rocks, check this one out, 4 seconds, ISO 100

Try Proshot with everything auto versus the default camera app - it is MUCH better on the 8x, don't know about the Lumia.

Proshot is my default camera app, I don't even use the built in app anymore.

This photography project is about to get a whole lot more interesting. :grin:

Hi! Since I had my son I like to take more pictures now!!! So I'm kind of new to all those settings for the camera. Now I've read some settings that you have setup for the proshot app and I'm a little confuse. In a dark place for example in the living room at night what could be the best options for:
- shutter
- ev (-2 to +2)
- focus
- AF assist
- ISO

Only of you have time and willing to write the settings, I would really appreciate it!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!

I don't know much about photography but until someone else reply you can use the Sport mode on the default camera app of your windows phone and the rest on auto/default, that should do if you have a little kid running around.

Hello! I am the developer for ProShot. I am really happy to see everyone enjoying the app!
If anybody has any questions, please ask away! I tried addressing the most common ones here: ProShot

Jason, you only have 1/2s exposure available because that is the longest exposure your hardware supports. I think only Nokia Lumia 920 (and perhaps 820?) support 4 sec exposures, and only after the Portico update.

Hi! Very happy using your app, purchased it immediately after trying it. One question, is it possible for you to add in a timer? So taking pictures with long exposure are easier too ^^

Hey, just saw this thread and decided to buy the app. Anyway to have the ability to delete photos in the ProShot lens? Would be nice to have the same options as in the native app, I realize I can press back to get into the native app and then from there find the photo and delete it but would be more convenient.

Great app though, better than the stock I find.

 

[HeyCori]

Bought this app because I wanted to try out the manual focus. It works great. However, my 920 got extremely hot afterwards. Did anyone else experience this?

hi truplaya,

There is no one size fit all kind of solution to photography.

You need to just learn the basics as to what controls what and how it effects the output.

Since I am typing this from my phone I am not able to give a more detailed explanation or provide exact links.

Checkout dpreview.com or even more.com iPhone photography section as there are very good articles on the basics.

And coming to your question,
Set focus to auto, focus assist to on, ISO to 400 or 800. If you are manually adjusting the shutter speed, I would suggest a slow setting of 1/16 to 1/4 max, anything slower would introduce a lot of camera shake. Even at 1/4 this is a problem. Also motion blur will be there. So my advice is leave shutter speed at auto.

The EV setting is like a tuner for compensating exposure which adjusts other settings like ISO or shutter speedy depending on the mode you are in. Basically the + side increases exposure and the - side decreases it. So for dark scenes increasing ev would help but its subjective.

Hope this helps. Will try to put up some links later.

Hello, how do you achieve 4sec exposure? I can only find up to 1/2.
nice photos

I use app called ProShot, there You can change shutter speed (exposure time) up to 4 seconds.
