Out of high school I took two years of Photofinishing Technology. Photography was one of the classes in there. You'd think I'd have remembered that, but no.Yes! Night mode is great! Think of night mode on a camera as the iris and your pupil so when it's dark out your pupil gets bigger to let in more light so you can see better in the dark so when cameras activate their night mode it essentially opens more of the lens so the photo is over exposed to let more light into the lens and that's how you get these bright night time photos with that mode

I didn't even know there was a night mode on these phone cameras. Somewhere around here I have a Nikon 35mm I gave up using years ago, but boy did that take good shots!
