Xiaomi’s camera has some very well-kept secrets, including long exposure modes, which allow us to take pictures with lights. When opening the camera, we do not easily find this mode, so you may have been with a Xiaomi mobile for a long time and not know that you have it.
will show you where is it, how is it downloaded and how can you use it, because it is one of the best functions of any mobile with MIUI 12.5 and a mid-range. In cheaper models, you may not see this feature, although it is quite widespread.
Xiaomi hides a long exposure mode that you can download
The Xiaomi camera, when open, has modes such as portrait, video, night mode and others, but we can also download modes. Just open the camera app and go to the “more” section.
From here you can download a mode that by default is not installed on your Xiaomi, under the name of “long exposure”. The download will not take more than a few seconds, so press as soon as it is.
In this mode you will find a total of six different modes for taking long exposure photos. As the name suggests, the shutter stays open longer to get more information.
-
moving crowd: photographing people or moving objects while we are stationary.
-
neon trails: To photograph the lights of moving cars.
-
Oil painting: For a more washed-out effect, ideal for photographing a sunset or a cloudy sky
-
illuminated painting: photography of light painting.
-
Starry sky: for what the name suggests.
-
light star trails: To photograph the movement of the stars themselves.
To use these modes use of a tripod is recommended, since the shutter will be open for a long time and the mobile must be as stable as possible. If you don’t have one, you can be as imaginative as possible to prop the phone up where it’s stable.
