The most impressive feature of the ZenFone 3 Zoom’s manual controls is the slow shutter mode that allows photos to be shot with up to 32 seconds of exposure time. Few smartphones offer a slow shutter mode, and among the few which have one, none allows for such a long exposure time.
Typically used for low light or night photos, this mode is ideal for shooting night landscapes, capturing the light streaks of passing traffic or capturing stationary subjects in very low light conditions, without the harsh lighting of a flash. This mode needs the phone to be shot from a stable, non-moving platform, and is best used with a self-timer so that the pressing of the shutter button doesn’t cause shaking that will blur the resulting photo.
2.3x zoom camera used. Manual mode, 2 second exposure, ISO 200: Shot from a tripod with a slow shutter speed and lower ISO, the photographer captured the falling waterfall as an artistic, silky blur. The lower ISO selected also helps to control the graininess of the photo.
