Is there any way to increase note 8 camera iso to 1600?

[Android Central Question]

I want to take a night sky photo with my Galaxy note 8, but its iso is only 800. But I can see it's auto iso can increase your 1600.

Are you saying that the scale goes only to 800 or that you cannot set it to a higher value when in manual mode?

yes. I want to need higher iso than 800 in manual mode

 

[ManiacJoe]

A quick internet search suggests that the Note 8 has a max ISO of 800 when in manual mode.

I am not sure if installing a different camera app will help or not.

Let's see if we get some better eyes seeing this thread if it is moved into the Note 8 forum...

Mod note. Thread moved to the Note 8 forum for better visibility.

Camera Zoom FX installed on my Note 8 goes of to 3200.

Camera FV-5 offers 6400.

Although apps other than the Samsung one can simulate a higher ISO, you'll lose so much detail the stars may not show clearly. Better to use a lower ISO and a longer exposure. Make sure the phone is steady, use the manual (pro) settings and select the exposure manually - it can go up to 10 seconds.

I have installed camera FV-5 but iso only set to 800

Open Camera can set the ISO up to 7237 (no idea why that number)

Agreed. Higher ISO will not give you the picture quality you are looking for. You will also need to invest in a tripod, if you don't have one already.

The higher the ISO, the more noise. I try to stay away from high ISO unless I’m in bright daylight taking action shots.
