The problem when using camera is:
At first, I set "Macro" for the scenes. The first photo captured was a macro one. Then I continued to take other photo, and the second and later ones have no longer been in "macro" mode, although I did not change the scene settings. It was likely captured in "normal" scenes.
There was a simultaneous problem with the "white balance" function. Specifically, at night I set "cloudy" for the white balance. The photo taken had a warmful color, likely normal with "cloudy". But the second and later ones were like in "incandescent" mode.
Thank you so much for any help!
Waiting for better firmware!
Is it possible to have the rear camera take a landscape orientated picture while the tablet is physically in portrait mode? I quite often wander around shooting time lapse with my tab in my my top coat pocket, and it would be ideal to have that horizontal sized picture rather than the skinny vertical.
Or does anyone know of an app that can do this change? Time lapse landscape pictures while the tab is physically in portrait orientation?
I realize computer screens have a refresh rate and if you rotate the phone a little you can take a much better picture. Not sure if refresh rate has anything to do with that but I thought I read it somewhere. Is there a camera setting that can take better pics of a computer screen? If you're not sure what I'm talking about try texting a picture of your computer screen and see how distorted it gets. When I rotate my phone 30 degrees then it's a good pic.
Nowadays, OLED screens are dominating cellphones, which have a critical potential problem as screen burn-in if you watch videos long time and high brightness with fixed picture parts such as TV program's banners, logos, letterbox black bars, etc. To prevent burn-in, I usually crop the video picture to make it full screen on my cellphone to make sure no any letterbox black bars appear, then I video pan the picture up or down to move the banner or logo out of the phone screen. Usually I don't need to zoom in as an extra step to sacrifice any more picture(meaning crop more picture) in order to move all static part of the picture out of the screen. Just crop to full screen and a simple pan is enough and it'll work like a breeze. Such is what I do with nPlayer Pro. While MX Player Pro does not allow this as it seems to me. Cos it doesn't limit the boundaries while I pan the video up and down. It's simply a random move like out of control that actually always results in worse scenario for preventing burn-in. Cos you easily move the whole picture's edge into the screen in any one direction. This creates more burn-in cause instead of solution. You just cannot do it perfectly to make sure at least 2 sides of the picture edges are aligned with the screen while you only move in the other 2 directions meanwhile never have any picture edge inside the screen.
For example, watching a Bloomberg TV video(16:9) with a Samsung Note10+(19:9), I need (1) to crop to make it full screen, then (2) to move the picture down to hide the always shown banner from showing on screen. While doing step (2) with MX Player Pro, it's not humanly possible not to move the picture in either left or right direction, thus it always creates an extra black bar either on the left or right. And yet I don't want to zoom in to solve this as I don't want to unnecessarily sacrifice any more portion of picture. I want keep as much picture as possible on my screen. The other thing is while moving the picture down in this case, you easily move too much picture out of the screen and create an unwanted black bar on the top of the screen, while I just need the top edge of the picture aligned with the screen top. If there are limits for edge alignments, each move will be so easy and Video Pan will function like a charm. Otherwise this function just feels half baked and not practical. Seems to me that there's no point to move any picture edge within/into the screen when it's not in. All picture edges need to be either aligned with the screen edge or outside of the screen edge when you pan a video in crop & full screen mode. Never inside.
So, please add move limits to all 4 directions for Video Pan. This will make MX Player Pro perfect. Thank you so much!
I received my Note20Ultra today and absolutely love it. However, theres this small quirk the camera post processing keeps wanting to adjust after taking a picture in very low light.
I attached a screen recording of the instance which you can view to see for yourselves.
I apologize for my immigrant ass music lol I didnt realize it was capturing mic sounds too ?
I guess I can't attach a video but I uploaded it to Samsung link share so heres the link for that

So I wanted to take a pic of the cruise control buttons in focus but with the gauges having a really nice natural bokeh to them.
But right after taking the picture I'll quickly go to view it and actually like what I see, but theres a little circle at the bottom spinning like its loading something.
Once done loading the picture turns to absolute garbage.
I tried turning scene optimizer off but that didnt do anything, turning HDR off helped a little but not much.
Its a weird shot I know but my Note 10+ does it just fine.
For comparison this is the same type of shot I took with my Note10+
Love that the shadows stayed pitch black, even while moving.

I have that song stuck in my head now, even though I have no clue what the lyrics are about!

If I'm not wrong, for taking a good enough picture in low light you have to keep the shutter of the camera open for more time, to be able to capture more light.
It's a long exposure.
What you see "loading something" is the actual time it keeps the shutter open.
During its process you have to be still until it finishes or it will result a blurry picture.

You are correct in the fact that a camera needs extended shutter time to take in more light for low light but thats not what I was referring to here.
I was talking about the loading circle AFTER the picture was taken, the one where Im viewing the photo and it suddenly changes from a nice shot to an over exposed mess lol
The night mode carries over from the S20 Ultra. Hate it when I have a decent capture and post adds weird chroma and focusing artifacts. I was hoping this would be fixed but nope. It's even more pronounced because you're coming from a Note10+...
For best results in those scenarios is to use pro mode, adjust your ISO to the lowest possible where the shutter speed still allows for reasonable lack of motion blur. If everything is rock solid (tripod and stationary subject), you can get some nice shots @50ISO and whatever shutter speed is required for decent exposure.

Looking at the data of the photo it does look like it jacked the ISO up to 1600 which is ridiculous lol
Appreciate the input, looks like PRO mode for weird shots like this is the go to feature.
Other than this little scenario this camera is amazing, not saying the Note10+ is bad by any means because it has been my favorite camera to shoot with, up until now.
