That means you should be able to use this app to control those cameras. <\/p>\n<h2>About the  &ldquo;Long exposure time-lapse&rdquo; mode<br \/>\n<\/h2>\n<p>A new Long  Exposure setting is added to the Time-lapse mode, so the camera can takes a series of long exposure pictures.<\/p>\n<p>To enter the &ldquo;Long exposure time lapse&rdquo; mode, press the &ldquo;<strong>Advanced<\/strong>&rdquo;  option on the top-right corner of the Time-Lapse mode screen. <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/images\/hardware\/camera\/nex5\/EVILRemote\/remote_advanced_btn.jpg\" alt=\"press the \u201cAdvanced\u201d option on the top-right corner of the Time-Lapse mode screen\" width=\"460\" height=\"314\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The screen will slide into advanced setting mode.
