Can we get a completely still camera option?

Today I tried to make a "long-exposure" shot by taking a video with FRAPS and then processing it through a python script. Unfortunately, the result came out blurry and unusable due to the subtle camera shake that happens even when your ship (or whatever you are looking at) is sitting completely still. Here's a crop of the image where you can see the blurriness and the figure-8 patterns the camera makes: http://imgur.com/JW6Rxft

I understand that this subtle movement is kind of nice to avoid things being completely static, but I would like to be able to turn it off so that I can make pretty long-exposure pictures without going to the trouble of writing a script to track it and adjust each frame.

CCP, can you please let us do this?

Why can't you just take a screenshot?

How do you make long exposures without any photosensitive materials?

Make it idiot-proof and someone will make a better idiot.

I will give you the benefit of the doubt and assume that you are from a South American jungle tribe and have never seen a long exposure photograph before.

My eyes are photosensitive.

Funny, I've never used instagram. You seem to know a lot about it though, can you tell me more?

Is it not completely still when you turn off the camera shake option?

Nope. The picture I linked is with camera shake off.

I think the camera shake option only applies to the shaking during warp.
