Samsung: Apply Camera Filters to Photos and Videos

Standard shots from the Samsung camera app come out flat and natural, but you want a specific look like black and white, sepia, pale or a warm tone instead. The filter options sit in their own menu that is easy to overlook, and the intensity control for an applied filter goes unnoticed just as often.

Apply Camera Filters auf Samsung

The Samsung camera app separates filters from the main shooting screen, which is why many users only ever see the plain, unfiltered mode. Filters live behind a dedicated icon and only appear once you open that section.

To reach them, tap Camera and then Filter. A row of previews opens where you Swipe left or right to browse the filters. Options typically include looks such as black and white, sepia, pale or warm, though the exact selection depends on your model.

Once you land on a look you like, Set a Filter and the Intensity. The intensity slider controls how strong the effect appears in the final shot, from a subtle tint to a full color shift. This slider is the part most people miss, so a filter can look barely visible if the intensity is set too low.

Filters applied this way affect both photos and videos captured through the camera app. If you only want an effect on a single image after the fact, use a gallery editor instead of the camera filter, since that keeps your original unfiltered version.

Frequently asked questions

The intensity slider under Set a Filter and the Intensity may be set close to zero. Increase it while previewing the shot to make the effect visible before you take the picture.
