The capability to capture images with extended shutter speeds on mobile devices running the Android operating system allows for the creation of photographs exhibiting motion blur or enhanced brightness in low-light conditions. For instance, capturing light trails from passing vehicles at night or smoothing the surface of flowing water are typical applications.
This photographic technique extends the creative potential of mobile photography, enabling users to achieve effects traditionally associated with dedicated cameras. Its growing accessibility on smartphones empowers a wider audience to experiment with and appreciate artistic image creation. The evolution of mobile camera technology and software algorithms has facilitated the increasing prevalence of this capability.
