Samsung: Rearrange Camera Modes in the Camera App

Panorama sits at the front while Video is buried three swipes away, and every shot turns into extra scrolling. Samsung phones list Photo and Video as fixed defaults, but modes like Live Focus, Pro or Panorama can be shuffled into any order you actually use. The stock layout rarely matches how most people shoot day to day.

Rearrange Camera Modes auf Samsung

Samsung camera apps group Photo and Video as fixed modes, while everything else - Live Focus, Pro, Panorama, Food, Night and other modes depending on your device - sits in a separate list that you can freely reorder or hide.

This list is stored per device and does not change automatically after a software update. If a mode you use often is hidden far to the side, it usually means the order was never adjusted after setup or after a reset.

Where to change the mode order

Open Tap on CameraTap on MoreTap on Add. This opens the mode management screen where all available modes are listed.

From here, Tap and hold a Camera modeDrag the Camera mode to rearrange it to its new position. Release once it sits where you want it, then confirm with Tap on Save.

Modes closer to the top of this list also appear closer to the front when swiping through modes on the main camera screen. If a mode is missing entirely, check whether it was disabled instead of just moved further down.

This reordering only affects the mode carousel. It does not change camera settings, resolution or default shooting mode on launch.

Frequently asked questions

Photo and Video stay fixed as the two default modes in most Samsung camera apps. Reordering only changes the position of the additional modes listed after tapping Tap on More.
