Picutre mode and video mode - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

Hi
Someone know if it will have macro mode for picture and stuffs like this? Will it be better than note 5 for photos and video. Someome know?
Thanks

The Samsung galaxy camera is impressive in its own right. It shoots excellent pictures out of the box, with very little fuss. But it can do more. Much more.
Samsung actually pared back some of the features in the camera app this time around. That makes the initial experience easier no more overwhelming feature lists but it does mean you're lacking things that were built in before. Say, the ability to record an animated GIF, for one. The good news is these features are pretty easy to get back. Here's how.
First things first: You're going to need to have a Samsung Account to get to the new (well, relocated, anyway) camera modes. That is, you'll be downloading them from Samsung's app store. The good news is it's relatively painless to sign up for one (you can now use your Google account to do so.
Surround shot:
This is Samsung's version of Google's Photo Sphere.
Sports shot: Aids in taking pictures of fast-moving subjects.
"
Sound & shot:
This is a cool one that adds in a few seconds of background sound at the time you took the picture.
Beauty face:
Digitally adds makeup.
Animated gif: Takes a series of pictures 20, actually and stitches them together for animation purposes.
Rear-cam selfie: Helps the rear camera identify faces and auto focus for ... a picture of yourself with the rear camera.
Dual camera: Simultaneously uses the front and rear cameras for that front-back effect. Or, as we like to call it, Mullet Mode.
Auto mode (default).
Pro mode.
Selective focus mode.
Panorama mode.
Slow motion mode (for video recording).
Fast motion mode (for video recording).
Virtual shot mode.
For the front camera, there are 4 pre-installed Samsung Galaxy S6 camera modes:
Selfie mode (default).
Wide selfie mode.
Virtual shot mode.
Interval shot mode.

Impressive
Very informative and detailed review. Thanks a ton

thanks a lot for the information.

Camera that dont take forever to load?

What is the best Android phone when it comes to pictures?
Looking for something that takes good quality pictures, but also loads the camera app quickly. I used to have a samsung a990, which had the twist and swivle screen, making the phone transform into a camera. it loaded the camera "app" almost instantly (compared to my android phone).
sharing the photos was also fast, just flip the phone back into phone layout mode and it was ready to send the photo, asking where it should go.
Is there a hope?
might be looking at the wrong platform for now. WP7 is soo much quicker at loading cameras
Camera 360. Really depends on your device though...
fast camera burst or camera zoom fx
imo camera zoom fx is the best!

HTC Sense 3.0 Camera

I was testing out the HDR options for this and they do not seem to do much at all. There is a difference, but it is VERY minor. I took a shot without HDR, one with HDR, and then one using the free HDR app, and the HDR app simply blew the HTC HDR mode completely out of the water...
Has anyone else had any experience with this? Is there something I may be missing?
HDR always seemed like something better left to photo editing software to me (like photoshop). Phone camera filters always seem kind of lackluster, but then again, none of us are taking professional shots with a cell camera I assume
On topic though, I wouldn't doubt it being better. Sense stuff isn't exactly always perfection as far as software quality and HDR was probably just an afterthought tied into the camera so they could tick off a notch somewhere on some sheet for features.
Absolutely the same as my experience. I used HDR Camera from the market before this (free), and I really loved its results. When I installed the 3.0 Sense camera and saw the HDR setting, I was happy until I tried it. My theory is that it is NOT taking multiple pictures, but only doing an image adjustment --->> NOT the same thing. HDR Camera doesn't have the issues that some of you described. You do not have to be rock steady and my phone is plenty fast enough to take the three photos within about a second. The image settings are also adjustable (color, etc.).
On the other hand, the panorama mode in the Sense camera is Awesome!

Software cannot do what HDR does. HDR takes 2 pictures, adjusting the gain on the sensor between low and high. It combines the best of both images to gain detail in low light areas and avoid over exposure in high light areas. Software will not work after the fact because the extra information gained from low/high gain is not present. Unfortunately the HDR option is poorly implemented by HTC. If you try HDR on the Iphone, you can see a drastic difference.
Actually, I use Pro HDR on my Evo, and it takes fantastic pictures in true HDR. It is a touch slower than a pro camera, but it does actually meter the scene and adjust the camera's aperture accordingly. It then allows for adjustments between the composite image and allows for saving the final as well as the source images, meaning you can do further editing elsewhere. Outside of some cropping, I haven't had problems.
With that said, I would be curious to know what the deal is with Sense. What's interesting is if you put it in HDR mode, it shows the little icon in the top right with multiple images...like whoever designed it at least understood how true HDR *should* operate. Then, if you push and release it instead of the regular shutter button, it beeps and you hear the lens go, and the image focuses itself. So...idk. I don't see a noticeable effect in the regular images at all...

Take better low pictures using google camera and HDR mode

Hi Guys,
I wanted to let you all know that I happened to install Google camera as I was not particularly impressed with the noisy low light photos of the stock camera app.
I was pleasantly surprised to see the results using the google camera after enabling the HDR mode ,the low lights are vastly better than the stock camera in HDR mode, also photos in HDR mode with the google camera are saved much faster than the stock camera in the HDR mode.
Please note that google camera doesn’t show up for me in play store ,so I have side loaded 3.1.025 version .it’s not all rosy though, as the video mode is not working for me and there are occasional FC’s while the pic has been clicked and if you press the home button.
But despite all these, I honestly can’t go back to the stock camera for low light photos,I would suggest you all give it a try and let me know your thoughts.
Cheers.
Attaching some low light picture taken using the google camera.dont have the stock app photos side by side for comparison.sorry.
I have found low light with stock RAW very good as you can control noise levels and lights, even the simple gallery app DNG post treatment make very good results

Thanks for the Tip mate ,would try it out.I am inclined towards google camera because without any post processing the images have lesser noise compared to the stock camera.I would try to post some better pics,I will admit the ones I have put dont make a strong case for themselves because I was just trying them out
Cheers.

3D Photos - Facebook 360 Photos

Hello guys
There is an option to upload photos on Facebook and to make them 3D, very cool and beautiful you can check them here https://facebook360.fb.com/360-photos/
But sadly, it's only for people with iPhones. The requirements are to have iPhone with 2 cameras. Basically, the picture needs to be shot with 2 cameras to have a depth effect to make it 3D. But why only for iPhones? Basically, every phone with two cameras should be able to do it. Is there any way to use this option on android?
Sorry not using FB
It is possible to create the 3D photo without an iPhone
Well it is possible to create the 3D photo without an iPhone. let’s start by looking at the special features of Portrait Mode. It doesn’t just take one photo. It takes your “normal” photo, but also takes another “special” photo. This ‘special’ photo is the depth map, which is created when we take photo from a phone with two cameras. This depth map shows which part of the photo is ‘closer’ to the camera, and which part is ‘further’ from the camera .This works just as our eyes work. When we know which object is near and which object is far, we can construct a 3D understanding of what we see on our brain. Facebook uses this depth data to construct a 3D Photo, relying on it to gain a 3D view of our photo and make a 3D parallax effect with it.
‘Live Focus’ mode on Galaxy Note 9 relies on the same principle as the iPhone X’s Portrait Mode. But its stores depth data differently. The qualty of 3d image is less as compared to iPhone. take a look here : www.facebook.com/nuuneoi/posts/10216478233324532
The main issue is that the depth map data taken from most Android phones with 2 camera has no standard. Every brand uses different formats for their depth data, so it may take a while for Facebook to roll out this feature to the another phone model beside Apple’s iPhones :angel::angel:

The image quality of the camera is a LOT worse than advertised

Hello there, other S10e owners,
Recently, I took advantage of an early Black Friday sale to get an S10e, the phone I was craving for a while. They said the image quality is on par with the Pixel 3 after the May update, but in reality, it's just as noisy and "oil-paintingish" as my Xperia Z1 Compact from four (!!!) years ago.
The samples are in the attachment of this forum post; the first and the third image was taken with the Google Camera app, and the second and forth one with the Samsung Camera app. The first two images were taken with HDR, but the latter ones without HDR.
As you can see in the non-HDR pictures, the Samsung Camera picture has less noise, but cold, washed-out colours and less detail thanks to the aggressive noise cancellation.
On the other hand, the Google Camera image has the correct colour representation and more detail, but with the sacrifice of noise cancellation.
With HDR+, though... Things get even worse. The Samsung Camera app now blurs out even more detail and the Google Camera app just cranks up the ISO to levels that make the image too bright.
In conclusion, the image quality is not on the promised levels, but I hope there's something I can do with it (like a good setup.xml file that can fix GCam to shoot exceptionally good images in both sun- and low light or fixing the Samsung Camera app). So, in order to fix this, I need your help. Please give me advice to pimp back up the image quality to the levels I saw in camera reviews.
Edit: Oops, I forgot to mention that I have the Exynos version.

Please give me the Gcam download link. I couldn't find any Gcam version that worked well on my S10e Exynos. Thanks

If you can do something with it, here's the link: GCam Exynos APK
In sunlight, it should theoretically work with the stock settings, but they say it's recommended to change the auto-exposure correction to 1/2 sec, the Night Sight correction to 1/4 sec and the exposure compensation to -3,0 to get the best out of daytime GCam photos.
For Night Sight images, it's recommended to use the mackytravel-nightsight.xml file without any changes for outdoor night photos and for indoors, turn off auto-exposure correction and exposure compensation, change the Night Sight correction to 1
or 2 sec (depending on the level of darkness) and in the Advanced drop-down menu, turn off the ISO limit. This way, you can get more detail out from the S10e's powerful camera sensors.
Lastly, if you'd like to shoot something with the wide-angle lens, just change the auxiliary camera switching method to the long-press method.
You can find my GCam config folder with all of the said configuration files at the link here.
Just install the GCam apk, copy-paste the config folder to the root of your internal storage (/storage/emulated/0/) and double tap on the black area around the shutter button to choose between the three configuration files.
I've noticed a similar thing with my camera on my SD 855 model where images taken using the camera just don't look very natural or realistic. They look very much like a painting!
Currently I get better results with HDR on and scene optimiser turned off.
My iPhone 7 photos still look a bit more natural at times but obviously less detailed.
