For long exposure photography, you would need to open your native camera app, go to settings, and choose exposure.
You would see a vertical orange line on your zPhone screen with a sun icon on the left of the focus box. When you swipe to your right, the exposure increases, and when you swipe left, the exposure decreases.Of course, long exposure shots look good only when you use a Tripod, (that you can order from our online store at https://www.zylker.com/accessories) and the Zylker ear buds to trigger the shutter (to avoid shaking the device with your hand).
Step One: Study the weather:
A day with a cloudless sky is a good day to drink a beer with friends, not to make long exposures. Likewise, it cannot rain forever, so do not resign yourself to an afternoon with your PlayStation. You should study satellite images rather than the meteorological sites, trying to figure out if there is an incoming storm, or if the downpour is about to end.
Step Two: Visit the location well in advance
Scout the location ahead of time, as you need a lot of time to find the perfect composition, or at least more than the time needed for a “short exposure”. In fact, in a long exposure, the world is completely different from how you see it with your own eyes. You have to try to see it with your mind, looking for a harmonious composition that includes moving subjects, trying to predict the direction of the clouds or the force of the sea.

Step Three:
Mount your camera on a tripod and install all the accessories such as the remote shutter release and the filter holder (if you are using drop-in filters). However, wait to actually install the filters. This is very important!
Step Four: Compose the image and lock focus
Refine your composition, focus on the subject, and lock the focus. If you are using manual focus, go ahead and turn the lens’s focus ring.
If you are using your camera’s autofocus mode, you should focus by half-pressing the shutter button, and once the focus has been made, while still holding down the shutter button halfway, push the lever from Auto Focus to Manual. In this way, your camera will maintain the focus (alternately, you could use back-button focus).
