Macro capabilities - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers

It seems like the macro ability of this phone is not that great. I'm noticing that my Note 8 was able to get closer and take clearer shots. Is there some magic setting that needs to be set to get macros shots working correctly, or is it another case of it is what it is?

All lens has a fixed minimum focal range. That limitation is physical and by design.

I understand this. I just wasn't sure if there was something that I needed to set to get macro mode to work or if it is automatic.

Try the longest lens, and try adding a slight amount of digital image enlargement around 20% if no dedicated setting is present.

In the camera Photo mode, approach the object within an inch or two. At this distance, a "2x" will appear at the bottom left of the view image. See attached image. Touch the 2x and as instructed, back away a little until the instruction vanishes and the image is in sharp focus then take the picture. Note that this is not an extreme macro. The attached image is burred because it was captured before backing away.

Panoram photo?

Is there any program that you make a panoramic photo.
Marked a landmark in the picture and you have to follow it and that point is moving in one direction.
Like this http://www.panoman.net/
THANK YOU
Your camera should have a panoramic picture mode depending on your phone.
But this program is to make several successive images but not the only one, as

Sorry for bat english.
THANKS
the one on your phone allows you to take several images and pieces them together, i'm not sure what you are asking
some camera apps don't have that option. you should find a software that can create a panoramic photo from a bunch of other photos.. i do that all the time with my G7 but i have an app suited only for canon cams.

[Q] Infuse: Auto focus problem

When I use barcode scanning and macro on photos, my infuse can't focus well Barcodes are ok it can capture the moment that the phone focus at the right place, but for macro photo, it can't get the focus done in 90% of the time.
In the beginning I saw the camera keep changing its focus and then focus on a right point, it didn't stop. It would go across the right point finally blur again ,there are two situations:
1. Stop at red box: can't focus.
2. Focus at a wrong distance.
Please help me, I'm not sure if its a defect or software problem.
Thanks
Some sample photos from my rear camera

You might also try focusing on not quite as close as what you're taking a photo of and then snapping the photo of your subject. Sometimes the camera might have a problem with the shadows of what you're trying to take a picture of.
My 7 month old infuse had the same problem. I took it to the local AT&T store, they verified it and called some 800# for me and I received a new phone in 4 days. no charge.
A solution is found!
I understand that this is a super old thread but I suddenly fixed the problem stated above and I remembered my post, expecting this could help a few people.
Setting the camera resolution to 5MP instead of 8MP.
It did work, I hope that it would help people that are still having this problem.

Camera alignment bug, do you have it?

I was about to take a photo of my excercise book and i aligned the screen of the phone (in the original camera app) on the 2 sides of the excercise book. But when i took the photo i noticed that even a portion of the table was in the photo, that i didn't focused before the shot. It's like if i had the zoom on, but i checked and it was off.
It's difficult to explain so i'll explain it with 2 images:
This is what i see in the camera app:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is the photo:
There's a noticeable picture frame more than what i wanted to photograph.
It's a bug of my phone or even yours have this problem?
PS: sorry for bad english!
Screen UI is 16:9 ....camera only take pics in 4:3 format.
It sucks yea.
So the "bug" is in the original camera app that doesn't show the image preview in the real output format. It's ridiculous...!
EDIT: i've just realized that i have disabled the navbar buttons, probably it's for that!!

Restore the device to factory settings and your done!
Before that make back up anything you need!
Hi all - need answer from older members, googled a bit before no information regardless to my question what i want to know is it problem or not. Is it due f1.9 apertature or no ? Changing 4.3 - 16:9 modes , nothing changes, same effect. I can see it only in close range - 30cm range, like in these photos. Model is international unlocked, 920 android 7 BTU feb22 . Found this only now, by doing macro shots on the table ( have phone for 5 months, under warranty - thats why wanna to hear answers is it a problem, give them to fix it or no, its ok )
I'm receiving this "fish eye effect's" , very small amount of it, near corners - I marked RED or Black color with a line the real position of object in real life and what I get wia phone when I take a picture in 16mp mode or any other mode.

Pixel 4a HDR on/off

I'm looking for the simplest app that allows me to turn HDR on and off. That option is not on Android 12, it's always on.
I don't need an elaborate app that does a whole lot of things.

Better than stock gcam.. you can turn off hdr and turn on hdr+
Also lot of modification.
Oh nice...ty!
Will that apk replace the stock app, or just add to it? Will I lose the highlight and shadow sliders?
I tried Open Camera. It lets you use their HDR or turn it off. I found no difference at all between their normal and HDR pics.
Their pics were just about as good as the native app, which has sliders for highlights and shadows, for precisely dialing in the exposure.

Not at all, it's a 3rd party app and it won't replace the stock camera. Btw i even found better one. Here's the latest version link -https://www.celsoazevedo.com/files/android/google-camera/dev-MWP/f/dl23/
U will find manual control there, but for manual control u need to turn on hdr++
