When my phone takes the pictures, it certainly _seems_ to go take-take-take, and saves three different photos, but I guess that's only what the front end is showing me.

Though, in the end, I'm not sure it matters; what's the difference between three photos and one photo where you just stop taking in more raw data at three different times, to get the three different exposure levels? It seems like that would be a _better_ way to get enough data and get a steadier shot.

But I'm no expert on this.

Though, yeah, any longer-exposure shot is going to be better with something less shaky than a hand.
