Shutter speed time for Sony RX-0

[drzewoid]

Hello! I'm new on this group, and i've RX0 from few days. I would ask why this camera has very such a short shutter speed time - max 1/4 s. Even on my Xiaomi Mi8 phone i can set this to few seconds, so this gives me better night shots than rx0!

It's possible to get longer shutter speed time or what settings to use for no grain photos on night ? 

I think Sony shoud add this settings in future firmware, because it's huge limitation in camera that has limited posibillities to the night shooting.

Hi drzewoid, 

I'm not too sure about this but I will just try to find some answers for you. In the meantime, maybe someone else in the community might have some ideas?

Thanks,

Hi drzewoid ,

I'll try to pass this to Sony for future reference.

Thank you for your answers. Could be awesome if my message reached to team Sony responsible for firmware. I think it's not any problem add few more shutter speed options to menu.

For now i found some optimal settings for RX-0 - i use program mode, set iso to auto from 100 to 800 and use option High ISO Noise Reduction in settings. Results are very OK, but for example in Gopro 5 i can set shutter speed to 32 seconds and take photo of the night sky. Results are amazing. I can't do this on RX0 😞 But overall i really like this device. Photo quality is impressive.

Hi drzewoid,

Fingers crossed. Well, that looks like a nice work around. I'm pretty sure Sony will be taking this into consideration.
