Is it possible to control shutter speed and shutter speed of Raspberry Pi?
Is it possible to control the exposure time and shutter speed of raspberry pi camera. If yes, how ? Yes you can control shutter speed and many other things. Will set the ISO 800 and the shutter speed to the maximum 6,000,000 microseconds, or 6 seconds.
How to adjust the camera settings in picamera?

What is the use _ video port parameter in picamera?
The use_video_port parameter controls whether the camera’s image or video port is used to capture images. It defaults to False which means that the camera’s image port is used.

How to increase the exposure time on a Raspberry Pi?
If I set the shutter speed to a lower value like 10000 or even 1000, then it works, but in that case the image is even darker (not what I want).
Is there a way to increase the camera exposure time?
It seems currently the exposure is software limited to 2 seconds, the problem being shutter speed is controlled in nanoseconds. For long exposures it would result in ridiculously big numbers. So your alternative would be increasing the ISO, but that is going to reduce the quality of the image. I had a lot of trouble with this as well.
