    Not only for astro. Sad that we have to use Moment v1 for that.
    Is it available in Testflight?

      As noted it’s coming =D

      Sorry bout the heart break. Good news for you is you don’t have to pay more to get the feature when it comes out.

      There’s always a bright side!

        So pleased to see this is in the works. It’s a great creative tool. The first “Real” physical camera I ever bought (well, my parents bought it for me) one of my priorities was a camera with manual settings that would allow me to capture photos like this.

    How long will it take before this feature is available?

        Wasn’t this supposed to be released a moth ago?

          That was the original goal, but some internal factors and additional improvements got in the way. The final version is now ready to release as soon as Apple approves the update, hopefully next week.

            Thank you for your reply, the way to make light painting videos is the feature I miss the most from the original Moment camera.

    @Devan is it possible to have durations faster than 0.5 (e.g. ¼ of a second) or is there a limitation? For shutter drag-like effects it’s sometimes useful and I keep using bulb to make it work

      Please tag @Jamm Hostetler for technical questions.

      Since a shutter speed of 1/4 s is possible natively, we recommend using regular photo mode with manual exposure instead. Do you have a particular reason to want this in slow shutter mode though?

      Ah, I remember now – I knew the name sounded familiar but didn’t connect it to Discord immediately. Sorry, I get all kinds of discussions across various platforms and it can get a bit scattered.

      Yes, this might be a good workaround for the shutter behavior we were talking about at slow shutter speeds. That said, I still plan to look into native alternatives as well.
