The Long Exposure Mode in Snap Pro Camera is designed to capture dynamic scenes in creative and stunning ways. It allows users to shoot scenes with motion, light trails, or low light, creating effects that are difficult to achieve with standard photography. This mode consists of one main category and four sub-modes, each serving a unique purpose.
