Can everyone please also include their settings when posting pictures with DM 3.8?
I know a few of you guys out there like to post these amazing images, but kind of want to keep your settings secret.
Please share with everyone how you are able to produce good images with DM 3.8!!
thanks!
I wish DM would include some kind of small manual or text file to explain how to use the new menu changes.
How do you use the new shutter speed option?

Hi jake,
I used landscape mode with color correction on with my daylight shots. ISO is set to auto.
When taking pictures at night, I usually use twilight landscape or twilight portrait and the shutter speed to +2.0EV. ISO is either set to 200 or 100. I seldom use 160, and I never use 400.
Also, I always use the timer in order to avoid or minimize any bluriness of shots.
That's all...
Usually, I only use shutter speed when taking low-light or night pics.

No, no! Do not delete camera2.dat. That's the driver for the front camera.
Vit, does C905 have front camera?

I'm using it with night landscape mode. use EV +/- to change shutter speed. Pictures are amazing.
I use auto mode with C/C during day time, if I'm taking pictures portrait I turn C/C off.

Yeah, it doesn't have one... Incredible how I could not noticed that. I supposed it had one. The fact is that I've never, never used front camera in any of my phones. Sum that up to the knowledge that camera2.dat did not took part of any camera mod so far and I guess it's understandable that I would think that way...

Setting the camera to Twilight Landscape even with DM 3.5 sets the ISO @ 100, so there's only shutter speed values left to be changed by the EV button. In that sense, what you do when you change EV values @ Twilight Landscape mode on DM 3.5 is already select shutter speeds manually. I guess that EV +2.0 will not always set the same shutter speed, but will rather set the longer exposure time for that scene.
Anyway, I am waiting for the final 3.8 with the promised manual shutter speed (@ fixed values; so, for instance, EV +1.0 will always select the same value of shutter speed) so I can apply that to pics at nearer distances in Auto mode (Twilight Landscape lock focus at infinite).

Yes, but U must admit that in DM 3.5 using EV and in DM 3.8 changing shutter speed is difference.
For me picture looks better with longer speed of shutter than with longer exposure.
BTW: I think that camdriver2.dat is for video calls. How's that?

Longer exposure time = Slower shutter speed.
I agree that it's different only if a given EV value sets always the same shutter speed value. In other words, only if Shutter Speed SS is a function of EV values: SS(EV_value). I still did not try DM 3.8 because he said it was still beta and the SS function was not working well.

@penguin_xp
thank you very much for that explanation.. your pictures do look great.
I see your great pictures and think that you are just pointing and shooting for these great shots, but there is more skill involved than most people think.
I really just want to produce better low light shots, and be able to capture moving objects better without blurring.
For example, if I wanted to try and take a picture of an active child running around in the daytime, without the running child coming out all blurry, what settings would you recommend? and for at night?
I guess I just need some tips on what situations I would need to change the shutter speed to produce better results.
thanks again!

I took these with DM 3.5..
This driver is so easy to use. I am really considering to just stay with this one.. I guess shutter speed is only thing missing for me.
DAY - AUTO - ISO 100
NIGHT - AUTO - ISO 100
