How can i change my exposure time in the dark to being longer than 2 seconds? I’m trying to get it to be 30 seconds so I can use a lighting trick.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

30 Secs may not be feasible on an iPhone. 10 is the max that I know of.


Adjust the capture time

When you take a photo in Night mode, a number appears next to the Night mode icon to indicate how long the shot will take.

To try longer Night mode photos, tap the arrow above the viewfinder. Tap the Night mode button that appears below the viewfinder, then use the slider above the shutter button to choose Max, which extends the capture time. When you take the photo, the slider becomes a timer that counts down to the end of the capture time.
