Original subtitles

in this video i'm going to go through

every single camera setting in my

samsung note 20 ultra

and explain all of them these settings

and how they work

might vary depending on the samsung

smartphone you have

older models or models with lower specs

are more likely to have less

capability when choosing frames per

second and resolution for example

that said many of the settings work the

same throughout the range of samsung

smartphones

and i've timestamped everything for

easier reference

when you first open the samsung camera

app you will most likely find yourself

in basic photo mode obviously the most

basic feature is this big circle which

is the shutter button

tap that to take a picture and basically

whatever mode you're in

this button will either take a picture

or start and stop recording

your samsung camera lets you pause when

recording video

when you tap the shutter button a pause

button appears beside it

tap to pause and tap again to restart

in practice this means the clips will be

stitched together

into one file instead of separate files

to change mode just swipe up and down

where it says photo

the single take photo video

and more to choose from if you selected

more this takes you to lots of extra

camera features

including pro mode and pro video mode

my samsung note 20 ultra has four

cameras

on the rear there is the main camera an

ultra wide and a telephoto

on the front the selfie camera by

default the camera is set to use the

main lens this camera has the best

sensor so i advise you to

use this camera if you want the best

quality photos and videos

to switch to the telephoto tap the icon

with the

single tree shaped object in it on my

device this immediately

uses the optical five times zoom at the

same time

a menu of other zoom strengths opens up

in my case i can go

up to 50 times zoom but anything over

five times will be

digital zoom and digital zoom can get

very pixelated if you set it to a higher

level

after a few seconds the zoom strength

selector slides away but you can open it

again

easily by tapping the tele lens button

again you can also zoom in and out

using two fingers in a pinch and unpinch

movement on the

screen now you get a slider which you

can use to swipe up and down

for more precision zooming if you're

zoomed in and you want to

reset to the one times main sensor just

tap the middle icon with the two

tree shapes this also switches back to

the main lens of course

if you're zoomed in more than five times

you can reset to five times by tapping

the telephoto lens selector again

when you zoom in very close a guide pops

up in the top left corner

and this allows you to see around the

frame to help you frame your shot

this also lets you know when the camera

stabilization has steadied the shot

by turning from white to yellow so if

you wait until it's gone

yellow and then take the photo your

photo is less likely to be

blurred from handshake to select the

ultra wide angle lens

tap the button with the three tree

shapes in it

again the zoom selector appears allowing

you to switch

zoom levels more easily and once you

have selected the ultra wide angle lens

you can pinch in and out for fine

adjustments to your framing

so it starts at 0.5 times but you can

zoom

in to 0.7 times for example

and as soon as you reach one times the

phone will automatically switch to the

main camera

so this means there are three ways to

switch cameras

the three buttons the zoom selector and

pinching in and out with your fingers on

the screen

to switch to the front or selfie camera

tap the button

above the shutter button with the two

arrows in a circle

another way is to swipe left to right or

right to left on the screen

in any camera mode when you tap the

screen the camera will try to focus

and set exposure correctly using that

point as a reference

you will see a white circle appear if

you want to make sure these settings are

locked

tap and hold that white circle until it

turns yellow

and the little padlock symbol closes now

if you move the camera the exposure and

focus are fixed and will not

change to adjust the different light or

objects

whether exposure is locked or not you

can adjust exposure by

sliding your finger left and right below

the circle

this moves a small slider over this dot

on a line

which indicates your current exposure

adjustment setting

to unlock exposure and focus simply

tap on another area of the frame below

or to the side of the shutter button

is the gallery button tap this to open

up your gallery

so then you just swipe left and right to

view

there's a row of buttons down the left

side of the screen or at the top if

you're holding the phone vertically

and these buttons change depending on

which mode you're in

starting from the top we have a button

that looks like a magic wand

and this is a filter button this is

available for both photo

and video mode tap this to access

various

filters to change the look and tone of

your image

there's three options to choose from

face gives you a

bunch of beauty mode settings tap the

face to enable this and now

adjust the settings to your needs from

the list below you can adjust eye size

jawline tone and smoothness

smoothness simply smooths out your skin

filters

opens up a menu of various preset color

filters to apply

swipe through and then use the slider to

adjust the strength

in my filters you can create your own

custom filters

based on a photo from your gallery tap

the square with the plus sign and choose

a photo from your gallery

a filter based on the look of this photo

will now be

automatically created so this might be

useful if you want to create

a series of photos with a constant feel

and look

tap where it says filter 1 or whatever

number you have to rename the filter

then save and the filter will now be

stored for later use

below the filter button is a button with

a square

and a small triangle tap this

to enable motion photo what

motion photo does is essentially shoot a

short

video instead of a single frame photo

the video will start capturing before

you actually press the shutter button

for example if you're taking a photo of

something live like

sports motion photo will make it easier

to

capture the exact moment a goal is

scored or someone crosses the finishing

line

this is pretty similar to burst mode so

take a photo with motion photo

open the photo in the gallery tap view

motion photo

and now you can see your photo as a

video clip

swipe to get the best frame and

tap this square button on the left to

select that frame

you can also turn this clip into a gif

using the

second button by the way you can also

choose a still frame from

any video clip here's a video clip i

shot a few days ago

so stop the video on the frame i want

and

press this button here a still photo

from that frame will now be saved

into your gallery in photo and video

mode you get a frame

ratio selector button on the left or top

depending which way you're holding it in

this device the choices

i have are full which uses the full

screen one by one which is

square 16 by nine which is a pretty

common ratio

and then there's four by three and four

by three

108 megapixels if you choose the 108

megapixel option the photo taken uses

the entire main sensor of your camera

and when i choose this ratio you will

notice that the ultra wide and telephoto

lens options

are no longer available that's because

the

megapixel sensor is actually the main

sensor

while the other cameras use smaller

sensors in video mode the options i have

are

full 1x1 and 16x9 but if i switch to pro

video mode and now i get a 21x9

widescreen option as well

in photo mode the next button down is

the timer function

just tap and select from four options

off two five and 10.

now when you tap the shutter button the

camera will count down the selected

number of seconds

before taking the photo i found that

when using this mode the camera will not

adjust focus once you've set the timer

going

so if you wanted to take a photo of

yourself by pressing the shutter and

then

quickly running around into frame you

might find yourself out of focus

next button down is the camera flash tap

to open up three options

always off auto and always

on auto will only use the flash when

there's not enough

light in video mode below the ratio

picker button is a button for enabling

super steady stabilization and this uses

extra digital stabilization to make your

videos

come out even smoother the downsides are

more limited frame rates and resolutions

as well as

no telephoto camera option once super

steady is enabled the frame rate

and resolution picker becomes disabled

you might also notice there's a

different cropping

when it's enabled it automatically

switches to the ultra wide lens

but cropped in you can use the main

better quality camera but that will also

be cropped in

in video mode and pro video mode it

used to be that you had to go into

settings to change

resolution and frame rate but now

samsung has created a selector menu

on the main screen this button here

displays the

current selection at the moment my

camera is set to shoot

full high definition or fhd which is

1080p

at 30 frames per second so just tap that

to get a list of options in regular

video mode you can go from

hd at 30 frames per second up to 8k

at 24 frames per second in pro video

mode

there are more choices here there's a 24

frames per second

option for fhd and uhd ultra high

definition which is basically 4k

there's also a full high definition at

120 frames per second option

again the options available will be

dependent on the capability of your

device

in older devices such as this s9 to

change resolution and frame rate

you still need to go into settings as

before

in the bottom left corner is a cog icon

tap this to navigate to the

camera settings menu if you tap this cog

in photo mode

you will find the photo settings at the

top of the screen

where if you tap this cog in video mode

you will find the video settings at the

top of the screen

it's actually the same menu but it

starts you at the most

relevant section to the mode you're in

that said if you are in video mode

and you go into settings then scroll up

the top section is greyed out

because these settings are relevant to

photo mode only

the top setting for photo mode is scene

optimizer

and this feature is available from s9

and later models

with this toggled on the camera will

analyze the scene and make

tone and colored changes you can leave

this on because when taking a photo

you get the option to switch it off

anyway so back in the camera view

this little icon in the top right of the

frame

indicates the type of scene detected if

it doesn't detect anything it will just

be like

a sort of twirly symbol looks a bit like

a firework going off or something and

there's actually

32 different types of scene that can be

detected

so the modes are face baby person

dog cat food people beaches sky

mountain sunset sunrise city

snowfall waterfall watersides

scenery stage vehicles drinks

flowers trees greenery animal shoes

backlit indoor text clothes

and night view at the moment my guess

is this house symbol stands for indoor

mode

so if i put my hand in front of the lens

you can see the scene optimizer doesn't

have a mode for that so

it just reverts to the twirly symbol if

i take my hand away

interior mode returns if i aim at a

plant it switches to what i presume

is a trees mode or plants

flowers have we got flowers trees we've

got flowers trees and greenery

so it's one of those uh yeah you so you

can just

switch this on and off here just by

tapping it below scene optimizer is a

switch for

shot suggestions if you switch this on

and go back into camera view the camera

software will

analyze the composition and suggest a

better place to position the camera

so there's this white line and a circle

and after a few seconds a sort of gray

filled in

circle appears to use the suggestion you

just move the

empty circle over the filled in circle

now the line and circle go yellow to

indicate this is the best framing

in the opinion of the ai software

personally i'm not sure

if it really knows what it's talking

about i mean i would say my own framing

is consistently better than the

suggestions offered

but perhaps if you feel really lost when

it comes to composition

this might help you out if you need to

scan a qr code

toggle this setting on here once you

return any qr code

within the frame will enable you to

follow any link from the code

next setting down allows you to set what

you want to happen

when you swipe the shutter button to the

right you can choose between

taking a burst shot or recording a gif

and then

back in the camera screen swipe the

shutter button to the right

and hold for as long as you want the

burst to continue you will see the

frames

counting up for as long as you hold if

you switch to record a gif back in the

camera again swipe right and hold

the counter starts but this time you get

a gif at the end

you can do this in selfie camera mode as

well a burst

takes a lot of frames and allows you to

choose the best this is useful when you

have an action taking place and you want

to make sure you get the perfect frame

for example maybe a bird taking flight

or people posing you know like when you

take a photo and someone has their eyes

closed

if you use a burst you will get several

photos

and probably amongst them a good one to

choose from you know where everyone's

eyes are open

next setting down is headed format

and advanced options tap to open a menu

with three

toggle switches heif stands for

high efficiency image format it can also

be

known as or indeed confused with h-e-i-c

which stands for high efficiency image

container

in fact if you google h e i f you will

likely be shown results for

h e i c as if they are the same thing

but

in fact there is a slight difference

heif

is a file format for storing individual

images and sequences of the image

while the heic file can store both image

and video files this format uses better

compression

and keeps file sizes lower however it

might not be as versatile when it comes

to sharing pictures online or with other

people

toggle this on if you want to create a

raw copy

of any photo taken using pro mode what

is raw

a raw image file is basically

unprocessed so it retains

much more information so if you intend

to work on your photos using color

grading software a raw

photo file will give you more to work

with bear in mind

viewing these files won't be as easy as

viewing a standard jpeg file

to view a raw image file you will need

some kind of photo editing software like

photoshop for example

raw files will also take up more memory

than a compressed

jpeg file wide lenses distort straight

lines

the most obvious example of this is when

using a fisheye lens

generally speaking the wider a lens the

more distortion it creates

so if you want your samsung device to

correct these distortions

when using the ultra wide angle lens

then

make sure this is toggled on next on the

menu is a group of three settings for

taking selfies

they are pretty self-explanatory but you

might not know they exist

if you haven't crawled through the

entire camera setting menu

like i just have first if you want these

selfie cameras to switch to the widest

angle

when it detects two or more people in

the frame toggle this on

next if you want to keep selfies as you

see them when you take the selfie

keep this switched on however the image

you get is a mirror image of

reality so text for example will be

backwards

if you would rather flip the selfie so

that it displays as if someone took the

picture with the rear camera then toggle

this off

finally selfie color tone allows you to

choose between

three settings for your selfies warm

original or cool now we get to some

settings for video tapping advanced

recording

options opens a new menu of three toggle

switch options

toggling on high efficiency videos means

your videos will be recorded in the

more efficient hevc format hevc stands

for high efficiency

video codec and is better at compressing

video than the old

avc format these formats are also known

as

h.264 and h.265 the downside of hevc

is that some platforms or devices may

not be compatible

which means this format is less

versatile if in doubt

toggle it off hdr 10 plus is a video

format

that adds dynamic range by embedding

dynamic metadata into the video file

an hdr 10 plus compatible display

uses the dynamic metadata to apply

dynamic tone mapping hdr 10 plus

supports 10-bit color

over the normal 8-bit color and up to 8k

resolution like with the iphone's new

dolby vision

shooting video in this format adds extra

complication

when it comes to editing and playback

for example

youtube does support hdr 10 plus but if

someone watching the video via youtube

doesn't have a compatible monitor at

best they will get a

kind of toned down version at worst

colors and tones might be

distorted if you have the zoom in mic

enabled

zooming in while recording results in

the mic also

zooming in the audio on the subject of

the video

the idea is that if you are filming

someone talking

zooming in on them should result in

their voice being louder

and the background noise becoming

quieter whether it actually works in a

practical sense

is another matter back in the previous

menu there's a toggle switch for

stabilization

so it's nice to have the option to

switch this off because sometimes

stabilization can cause problems like

when using a gimbal for example

back in the main camera settings menu

the next features

apply to photos and video auto hdr

is a another kind of tone mapping

feature but this one does not create

a different type of file that may or not

be viewable like

hdr 10 plus does instead the tone

mapping is

baked into the file toggle hdr on and

switch back to your camera

and now you will see hdr written in the

corner

in both photo and video mode bear in

mind hdr is disabled when you are using

pro video mode with tracking autofocus

enabled go back into your camera

tap on the screen on an object or person

you want to stay in focus

and now you get a yellow box indicating

the object or person is being

tracked if that tracked object moves or

you move the camera

the camera will try to keep them in

focus this works in photo

video and pro modes as well with this

enabled you won't be able to lock

exposure and focus by tapping the screen

toggling on grid lines places a rule of

thirds

grid over the camera screen and this

will be present in

all camera modes aligning objects or

people

with the grid lines or the line

conjunctions

can help you to create more

aesthetically pleasing images

location tags will add location

information to your photos and videos

tapping shooting methods opens up a new

menu with

four different options the first one

allows you to assign a function

to the volume keys on your phone when in

camera mode

by default they'll take a picture or

start and stop video recording

that's so you can choose to use them for

zooming or

keep them as volume control buttons

instead toggle on

voice commands if you want to be able to

control your camera using

certain spoken phrases cheese

well saying smile cheese capture or

shoot

will take a photo and saying record

video will do what you just asked

enabling the floating shutter button

creates an extra button in a different

position

which you can drag around the screen

however you don't actually need to go

into settings to do this

because even with this switched off i

found that you can just swipe the

shutter button to the left

and a floating button will be created so

just drag it back over the original

shutter if you want to get rid of it

with show palm enabled you can use an

open palm gesture

to start recording or to take a picture

back in the main camera settings menu

tapping

settings to keep opens a new menu with

three

choices essentially you can set your

camera to remember certain settings

rather than reverting to default

settings when you

close and reopen the camera for example

you can choose to set the camera to

reopen

in the last mode used like video instead

of photo

selfie angle will keep the last choice

and also will not automatically

switch to a wider camera when it detects

more than one person

in the frame if you want a specific

filter to apply

and don't want to have to keep going

into filters to choose it toggle filters

on if you want a small vibration when

you take a picture

make sure this is toggled on otherwise

toggle it off

now at the bottom the final setting will

reset

all your camera settings to the default

the same as when you

first got the phone apart from photo and

video mode there's also the

single take mode the idea of single take

is that you press the shutter and now

move the camera to look at different

things the camera will keep recording

for 10 seconds and then it will compile

a bunch of different shots

and different styles from what you

collected if you tap the little arrow in

the top corner you can check or uncheck

these buttons

you can customize the the results it's

going to give you now swiping along to

the section

simply named more opens up all kinds of

stuff to play with

there's 12 more camera areas to explore

plus

bixby vision and ar zone if you ever

feel the need to rearrange these buttons

tap the plus sign button and now tap and

hold the icons to switch them around

tap the question mark and you get a

brief description of each mode

so i'm going to cover the main camera

modes first pro mode and pro video mode

before i look at the lesser used modes

tap the button that looks like a

mechanical camera shutter

the camera now enters pro mode for

photos

in this mode you can set focus shutter

speed iso

and white balance manually so now you

have a stripe of

manual control buttons swipe up and down

to see all of them

in pro mode and pro video mode

you cannot access the telephoto camera

only the wide and ultrawide are

available

in pro mode as well as pro video mode if

you tap the screen you get

the white exposure circle which you can

lock

by tapping and holding just like in

the regular photo and video mode the

difference

is in pro mode you can hold

and drag this locked circle to create

two circles

and this creates separate exposure and

focus points

which allows you to set them from

different parts of the screen

and you also get this in pro video mode

when in profoto mode you can choose

between

three metering settings so tap the

button in the top left corner to get

three choices

spot matrix and center weighted

so in the center-weighted mode the

center is used to determine the exposure

it evaluates the light in the middle of

the frame and surroundings and ignores

the corners

in matrix metering mode the camera

divides a wide area

of the frame into multiple segments and

then

sets exposure based on a variety of

information

including subject brightness and color

finally

in spot metering mode the camera

determines the exposure

not on the average brightness level of

the whole frame but just on one

specific spot tap the top button

named standard to open up some color

adjustments

from the top down you have tint

saturation

shadow highlight and contrast

to adjust each setting use the slide

control

to get back to the previous buttons tap

the back arrow

tap the wb or white balance button to

open the slider control in yellow it

says auto

so tap that to switch to manual

alternatively just swipe up and down

on the slider control now you can see

your white balance setting which is

measured in kelvins in photography this

is known as color temperature

different types of light have different

temperatures so if you want your camera

to record that light so it looks natural

white balance needs to be set correctly

so for example

candlelight would be around one thousand

to two thousand kelvins

while daylight with a clear sky would be

about

five thousand to six and a half thousand

kelvins usually the auto white balance

does a good job

but if there's a situation where you

have two or more different light

temperatures

then parts of your image might look a

bit off in that case

adjusting white balance manually could

help you get better photos the next

button down

is focus if it's currently set to auto

you will see the letters af for

autofocus

if it's set to manual you will see mf

tap the button to open up the slider

control

this time tapping auto does not switch

to manual

so you will need to swipe up and down on

the slider

while you are adjusting focus you will

most likely see a green

tinge appearing and this is the focus

peaking feature

which can be used to help set focus

correctly

basically the green outline tells you

what's in focus

next down is exposure compensation

tap to open and then swipe up and down

to set a

negative or positive compensation value

what this does is use whatever exposure

settings you have

auto or manual and adjust them to a

brighter or darker value

so if you think the auto exposure

setting looks too bright simply

stop it down here below the exposure

compensation button you can see a number

and this is telling you whether the

camera thinks your frame is under

or overexposed the number zero zero

means

correct exposure a negative is

underexposed and a positive number is

overexposed

if the number is gray that is considered

to be

a good exposure range it's fine it's

saying you'll get away with that that's

okay

when it's red your camera believes this

is badly exposed

below the exposure compensation button

is the shutter speed

button tap to open up the control and

tap auto to switch to manual or just

swipe up and down

on the slider control once the shutter

is in manual mode the

exposure compensation button becomes

disabled

but the exposure value is still

displayed

so this way you can use this value as an

exposure meter

using manual shutter control you can set

shutter speeds up to

1 12 000 of a second so all the way down

to

30 seconds as you can imagine such slow

shutter speeds

are not to be used for regular

photography a slow shutter can be used

to photograph the night sky and capture

light that would otherwise

not register on your camera's sensor

such as stars for example you can also

get those slow shutter

motion blur effects such as streaking

car headlamps and

blurred cascading water you will almost

certainly need a tripod when taking

slow shutter photos a regular shutter

speed for photos

would be somewhere around 1 50th of a

second

and upwards the faster the shutter speed

the less

motion blur you will get in the photo

the next thing down

is iso tap to open up the slide

controller

if you leave shutter speed in auto when

you adjust the iso

the shutter speed will automatically

adjust to set the correct exposure

adjust the iso and you can see the

shutter speed

changing accordingly but if the shutter

is in manual mode

adjusting the iso will change the

brightness of the image instead

so generally speaking a low iso is

better

as there will be less digital noise and

less

pixelation so if you want to reset and

go back to auto settings

just tap the reset button at the bottom

pro video mode has pretty similar

features to pro photo mode

but there are a few key differences if

you haven't watched the pro photo mode

part then do so first because i won't be

going over things like shutter speed and

iso again

and focus as they all work exactly the

same way

like in profoto mode you can tap and

lock exposure in focus

and then drag the yellow circle to

create

two separate points for each so for

example i can set focus here

and exposure here so let's run through

the differences

first of all note there is an audio

level meter on the left of the screen

you also have the option to enable an

exposure histogram

by tapping this button in the top left

corner

pro video mode has a zoom control swipe

to get

the top button and tap to open the zoom

slider control

and this allows up to 10 times digital

zoom

the difference between zoom in pro video

mode and regular video mode

is that the zoom control does not switch

lenses

so while you're in the main wide lens

zooming in and out

will not switch to the ultra wide angle

and vice versa

you can also zoom by pinching in and out

with your fingers on the screen

and it acts exactly the same way as the

slider control

shutter speed works exactly the same as

in pro photo mode

well except that the lowest speed is one

thirtieth of a second

is it twenty one twentieth or one twenty

fourth it fits in 24 frames per second

let's check another difference from pro

photo mode

is the inclusion of microphone setting

controls the last button before the

reset button

opens up microphone settings but it also

tells you the

current setting at the moment it is set

to use

all microphones but if i plug in a usbc

mic then it automatically changes to

record

audio from that mic and it tells you one

thing to note is that if you have an

external microphone plugged in

and you tap the reset button the audio

resets to record from the devices mic

even if you still have the external mic

plugged in so

just be careful when you're tapping that

button tap the mic button to

open up settings you can now adjust

volume level using the slide control

you can also select from different mics

available if you have no external mic

connected you can choose between

different internal mics

depending on your device i have the

option to choose omni

which is both rear and front mics

combined

or just front or just rear on my device

i have usb bluetooth and bt mix

bt mix allows you to choose to mix mic

input from a bluetooth headset with

others

that's i've actually just read that of

the samsung website and i'm not exactly

sure what they mean

but anyway moving on back in the

previous menu tap

slow motion you'll see there are no

options to choose resolution

or frames per second shooting video in

slow motion mode

produces hd 1080p resolution

at 24 frames per second which is then

played back at 30 frames per second so

record a clip of

slow motion video open the clip in the

gallery

now edit the clip by tapping the pencil

button

and you will see this strange looking

line at the bottom of the frame

this controls where the slow motion

begins and ends

so if you want the whole clip to be in

slow motion drag these little markers to

each end

but if you want the slow motion to begin

and end

at a key point move the markers

accordingly

for example you might have a video of

someone running and jumping in the air

and you only want the slow motion to

begin as they jump and then

end a few seconds later this is quite a

cool sort of bullet time effect

and easily created in your samsung app

when you're done save the video and the

app will create a new video

and the slow motion is now embedded so

you can't go into this new video and

edit the slow motion again

however you can go back to your original

clip and redo things

you can also change the speed of the

slow motion when you

tap on the slow motion area choose

between 1 8

one quarter or one half speed as well

split allows you to create two slow

motion areas if you decide not to use

one of them you can just delete it

back in the previous menu select super

slow motion

again there is no option to change

settings in my note

20 ultra super slow motion records at

regular

hd 720p and produces footage

as if recorded at 960 frames per second

i say as if

because in fact it records at 480 frames

per second

and then uses digital interpolation to

slow it to 960 frames per second

and the video produced will be at 30

frames per second

so when you shoot super slow motion the

camera shoots for about one second

so once you tap the shutter button you

have to wait for it to finish

so again you can go in and move the

beginning and end to choose where you

want the slow motion to

be in the clip so whereas with regular

slow motion you can record

as long as you like with super slow

motion you can only record for about a

second

i think the exact time is actually 0.8

seconds

back in the previous menu tap the

hyperlapse button

if you want to choose time-lapse then

this is where you want to be

what's the difference between hyperlapse

and time-lapse well

time-lapse is when the camera is still

fixed on a tripod for example

and hyperlapse is when the camera moves

to choose the speed of the time-lapse

or hyperlapse tap the button in the top

left corner

you can choose from 5 times to 45 times

when you select a speed a message pops

up with recommendations

on which speed to use for a particular

type of shot so for example

they say 45 times is good for night

shots with car headlight streaks

you also get the option to enable super

steady

so for hyperlapse shots where you are

walking with the camera

it might be a good idea to use super

steady for

smoother hyperlapse back in the previous

menu tap the

dual recording button you should now see

a picture in picture

or pip for short the main screen shows

your main camera

while the pip screen shows your selfie

camera

when you record you will now record a

video exactly as you see it

with your selfie camera embedded you can

drag the pip screen around to reposition

it

and if you do this while you're

recording the movement will be recorded

too

tap the icon in the top left corner to

change the mode

to split the screen between main camera

and selfie camera

again in this mode what you see is

recorded into a single video

if you have a later samsung device like

one of the s21 range

instead of dual recording you will have

directors view

which is pretty similar except it gives

you more

options for layout here and more camera

options as well

back in the previous menu portrait and

portrait video

allow you to separate the background

from the subject using

software portrait is for photos and

portrait video

is obviously for videos i think we can

safely say works better in photos than

in videos

well here's how to use it the most

common use of these modes is to add a

blurred background

similar to that shallow depth of field

effect from a more pro

camera in portrait modes there is no

option to use the telephoto lens

options are front selfie wide and ultra

wide

for photos and main camera and selfie

for videos

aim at the subject and wait for it to

say it's ready

if you are too far from the subject or

move too far during the shot

the mode might actually stop working so

if you want to select a different

background effect

tap the effect picker which is a yellow

circle around a yellow dot

yeah so these this row of effects that

you get to choose from

it's different depending on whether

you're in the

portrait photo mode or portrait video

mode

so for example big circle

that just looks crazy doesn't it

it's only available in the video mode

so uh wait we switch to

portrait

photo and now

you can see we've got the studio

which seems to add us all beauty mode

oh what's that dude ah that's the beauty

mode sort of thing

it's actually not bad and then this is a

big circle and

it looks a bit that could be a bit crazy

the things where it goes weird is when

you have

it becomes harder for the phone to draw

a mask

when it's the mask is more complicated

so obviously if we take down intensity

just put it on one

now it's not there's still some little

shimmering going on when you've taken a

photo in portrait mode you can actually

edit the background effect after you've

taken the photo

you see where it says change background

effect just tap that

and now we can switch between those

modes again and we can also

change the level

and this weird effect whatever that is

it seems to add a sort of highlight and

just adds a sort of

highlight that's quite nice actually

isn't it night mode uses multi-frame

processing to combine 30 images into one

clear photo the extra light captured by

the phone's camera sensors

will help your photos appear bright and

enhanced

back in the previous screen tap night or

the moon symbol

and all cameras are will be available

for this mode

when you take a photo in night mode as

the camera is taking 30 frames

you need to hold your camera as still as

possible it takes a few moments

it's just processing the photo before

you can see the full result

in your gallery back in the previous

menu tap the

food button with the fork and

spoon symbol in the center of the screen

you see the corners of a square

which represents the placements of a

radial blur

so you can drag this around to

reposition tap and hold

one corner to resize the radial blur

effect

after a moment the guide disappears and

you can then see what your photo will

look like

tap the drop icon to disable

or enable this feature tap the circle

that looks like a wagon wheel

to open a slider and then move this up

and down

to either cool or warm the photo down

for call

and up for warm if you want to take a

picture of a very wide view

you can use the panorama feature back in

the previous menu

tap the panorama button you can now

choose between the wide angle

main lens or the ultra wide angle the

main camera is better quality

so you might want to choose that one now

one tip is to hold the camera vertically

because it's a bit easier to hold that

way

tap the shutter and now start panning

left to right or right to left

in a steady motion if you have objects

moving in the foreground

they might not come out too well in the

final image so you might be better off

using this feature when you have a

pretty unobstructed view and minimal

foreground movement

so ar doodle allows you to add custom

drawings

some preset images and text to a video

but whatever you add is rendered in a

kind of 3d space

so as you move the camera around the

images move

as if they exist in that space also

these objects are situated

in a three-dimensional space so if you

move the camera towards them

you appear to get closer or even move

through them

the ar software will remember these

objects even if you move them out of

frame

as soon as you move the camera back the

object reappears where you placed them

so tap ar doodle and you're asked to

move the camera around

so the camera can map out the area i

find that sometimes it stays in the scan

mode but if i tap the screen

you can start adding images now use the

icons to

select a pen color images

or text and place them on the screen

with the sort of pre-drawn images if you

keep tapping

a new image will be dropped into the

scene and you can combine

different sets to create a kind of 3d

virtual scene

with clouds trees animals and so on

you can drag resize and turn text to

reposition

but it seems that you can't do the same

with your drawings so it's designed to

be used in vertical mode but there's no

reason you can't use it in horizontal

mode if you want

after you've added all the images and

text just press record

everything will be rendered into a

single video which you can then find in

your gallery

so that's it for this video if you found

it useful please let me know by giving

it a thumbs up

and i'll see you in the next video
