How to shoot in astrophotography mode?

Google Camera version 7.0 and up comes with Astrophotography mode by default, but there are conditions that must be met to enable astrophotography mode. Usually, following conditions must be met to capture in Astrophotography mode if manually not force enabled:

  • It can be enabled on Night Sight mode (only)
  • The phone must be kept static (use a tripod or keep the phone somewhere to keep it static)
  • There must be low light condition
  • It may take few seconds for this mode to come up when the above conditions are met
[su_note note_color=”#FBF4DD” text_color=”#A38C68″ radius=”3″ class=”” id=””]- When the display shows something like “Astrophotography is on” or something similar while capturing photo in Night Sight mode, then it is shooting in astrophotography mode otherwise not.
– If the GCam takes a lot of time usually more than 30 seconds then it is capturing in astro mode.
– When I kept the phone static in front of a good light source, the Astrophotography mode did not turn on. So, make sure it is a low light environment.[/su_note]

  1. Hi.
    UMIDIGI A11 with MGC_8.1.101_A9_V0a:
    *camera: Not working. Not posible to take shots. All controls shown but camera’s screen stays black. I can enter settings without issues.
    *video: Working. I could record a video and play it from within the app.

  2. I have determined that the V0a and V0 version are the only ones that open and if you swipe to video it shows it, however the camera section does not work at all and is completely black. Please find a fix and update this ASAP.
