Samsung How to Adjust Camera Settings

On the Samsung device, photos and videos are saved to the memory card, if inserted, by default. The default location can be changed in the camera settings between SD card or internal memory. Photos and videos that have already been created remain on the memory card and are not moved by changing the setting.

In addition to the two standard photo and video modes, the camera screen also shows other modes such as live focus, pro or panorama. Depending on the features of the Samsung device, other modes may also be available. The order/sequence of the camera modes can be Rearrange or unnecessary ones can be hidden.

Geotagging is enabled by default on Samsung devices, and tags are recorded with the current location of photos and videos, so you can see exactly where the picture was taken in the gallery or other applications.

Normally, photos (selfies) taken with the front camera are saved as they are displayed in the preview, i.e. mirrored, but the camera of the Samsung device can also be set so that photos taken with the front camera are not saved mirrored.

HDR stands for "High Dynamic Range" and is available on every Samsung device. If you want to take pictures where there is a high difference in brightness (for example, a lot of sunlight or landscapes), HDR on the Samsung device can help to prevent over- and underexposure by means of software. On Samsung devices, HDR is turned on by default, but is only used depending on the situation. In the camera settings, HDR can be deactivated or permanently activated.

By default, a picture or video is recorded on the Samsung device when the side volume buttons are pressed, but you can also use the volume buttons to adjust the zoom or system volume.

Video stabilisation, which is enabled by default, automatically corrects camera shake and instability from the Samsung device; video stabilisation is only supported by the main camera and can be disabled if necessary.

In addition to taking a picture by pressing the volume buttons, floating shutter release, gesture or normal shutter release, the Samsung device can also take a photo by voice control (voice shutter). If the function is activated, the following commands can be used to take a photo/video.

If a watermark is desired on photos taken with the Samsung device, it can be activated in the camera settings. The watermark is placed in the lower left corner and can be customized with a custom lettering.

The position of the watermark cannot be removed, nor can the camera icon or the text "Samsung Quad Camera" (or similar).

Depending on the Samsung model, different video resolutions and video formats are available. in many devices, at least HD and FullHD is available. in the mid-range and high-end devices, there is also the option of recording videos in UltraHD (4K).

The grid is a tool where a grid is displayed on the camera screen, making it easier to orient the desired photo to the horizon or to create portraits. You can choose between a square or a 3x3 grid.

the camera can be started within a second by pressing the power button on the Samsung device twice in quick succession. the quick start works both in idle mode (display off) and during use. it is also activated by default on Samsung devices, but can also be deactivated in the camera settings.

Devices with function key

On Samsung devices that have a function key (basically the power key), the key assignment may need to be changed (see Android 10/One Ui 2 manual)
