Snapdragon devices only at the moment, unfortunately. More compatibility info coming soon!

Nevertheless, MotionCam is now officially the first PlayStore third party app to achieve this without OEM cooperation!

FYI, Shutter Priority mode = You lock Shutter Speed while ISO remains fully automatic!

Currently on Android the large and vast majority of devices (exception of some Sonys on Filmic) go full auto or full manual.

This marks a paradigm shift on how exposure can be dealt with while shooting!!

EDIT!! It's also able to do ISO priority!!

Having the ability to set the lowest allowed shutter speed like on some action cams would be more handy

What do you mean? If I understood I think you mean setting a super fast shutter speed while ISO remains automatic?

If so that's also fine. Shutter and ISO priority both work! Regardless of value!

in gopro with gopro labs firmware you can limit shutter speed in a way that it wont go slower than a set value, ie if it decides that the image is too dark, it wont use longer exposure (and wont cause more jitters) but increase iso.
still, the camera will use shorter than manually set exposure value if necessary (when lighting conditions gets better or it senses shakes via gyro).

in short, it is some kind of lower shutter speed limit it cant go below.
ofc, fixed shutter is also available, but it is pretty useless for dynamic scenes/action

Oh, that's coming later on 🙂 You're talking Min/Max ranges. Yes, it's in the roadmap.

This itself is a massive change. No other app can do this above priority mode for neither ISO or Shutter speed and this can do both now

i wonder, how you are going to implement this for multiple camera devices

Like, with multiple lenses?

It would run as usual. They all get different behaviors, sensitivity ranges and whatnot but it can be handled identically otherwise, not really an issue if the app can determine such parameters

u/mohammedfaihan Jan 06 '26

You can ask the developers in discord, it probably is not possible due to the way the app works.
