Its hardware is pure class,but as ever,Samsung has packed the software with enough half-hidden extras to fill a GCSE course.Consider this your personal cheat sheet.These are the camera tips you need to get the best results out of a Samsung Galaxy S7 or Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge.
QHD recording on the front, 4K on the back
Now, one thing I did enjoy was that the Samsung Galaxy S7’s front-facing camera can record videos at QHD resolution. This is incredibly handy for anyone looking to vlog. In my case, it was helpful to know I could set the phone down and frame the image properly. It was simple to use the front-facing shooter and the phone’s screen as a guide, while still keeping a high resolution.
The rear camera is capable of recording at a higher 4K resolution. The only caveat here is that you do lose some cool functions when you turn this feature on. This includes the software-enhanced video stabilization, but OIS (optical image stabilization) does still tend to do a pretty good job.
Auto-focus in video
I do like taking advantage of auto-focus in video. It works great before taking a picture, but really stands out in videos, as it allows for a very clean way of focusing on a subject.
Why use Pro mode instead of just Auto
It is after stepping into a video installation when I realized this was the perfect environment to showcase the phone’s Pro mode and its advantages. After taking a picture of my brother looking at a screen, one can notice the Galaxy S7 is trying to expose for the whole frame. However, I would like to apply another effect and show more of a silhouette. Achieving this was as simple as going into Pro mode and speeding up the shutter.
Panorama mode
Things get more lit as you move to the top floor of The Broad Museum. I decided to take advantage of Panorama mode and things looked quite great. One thing to point out is that, in the picture below, the gentleman in the hat was walking as I was panning from right to left to take the shot. The Galaxy S7 was able to stitch him just fine. There are no deformed body parts or blurry spots to be seen.
A bit on the sensor’s aspect ratio
You may notice these images are almost square, as opposed to adopting the 16:9 ratio most mobile screens tout. This is because I wanted to take full advantage of the 12 MP sensor, which is built with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The image would otherwise be cropped and information would be lost.
One weird thing I did notice is that by taking a photo in the 4:3 ratio and then hitting record, the video had a zoomed in effect. The camera had to zoom in and crop the sensor, so it seemed like everything was suddenly closer.
HDR
HDR is not something you should be using all the time, as it slows down the camera and the expected effect is not always noticeable. You can set HDR to auto and the phone will try and figure out when it’s right to use it, though. As you can see in the images, it is best to take advantage of it in high contrast situations in which one area of the photo is much more lit than others.
Handling lower light situations
It was here we were also able to see how images get warmer and less crisp as the light starts to become less dominant. Most whites looked more yellow, and my tasty burrito wasn’t as crisp due to the camera trying to compensate for noise.
Wrapping up
Overall, The Galaxy S7 is a great shooter to have as a companion for your daily adventures. Sure, the details may not be as sharp, but that is something you will only notice if you are pixel peeping. On the other hand, you will really enjoy the much improved low-light performance and the overall general performance.
1. Virtual shot
Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge features the camera functionality “Virtual shot”. In this mode, you can create a 360-degree movement, which can be seen in different angles. Open the camera app. Then go to “MODE”. Select “Virtual shot”. After that, tap the shutter button. Then circle around an object while keeping it in the center of the frame.
2. Animated GIF
To create an animated GIF photo (for graphics interchange format photo), you don’t need to turn to a piece of software. Now, with Samsung Galaxy S7 camera, you can achieve the goal. Press and hold the shutter button take continuously picture.
3. Adjust Brightness
This functionary is quite useful. When capturing snaps in low-light environment, you can automatically adjust the brightness. Randomly tap the screen. Then there will be a bar. You can touch slide it to adjust the brightness.
4. Tracking AF
The feature tracking auto-focus (AF) refers to focusing on and tracking a subject selected on the preview screen. Launch the camera. Then tap the gear icon (setting button). In the Camera Settings page, locate “Tracking AF”. Then you can switch on the feature.
5. Motion Photo
Motion Photo is able to help record a short video clip of what happens before each picture is taken. Open the camera. Then tap the gear icon to enter the Setting page. Switch on the feature “Motion Photo”. Then every time you tap a photo, the Android camera will record a very short video before you press the shutter button.
6. Quick Launch
Have you ever met a situation where you were going like to capture fireworks but they disappeared but after activating the camera. Now the issue is fixed. You can double click the Home button quickly and capture the moment in time. Go to the Setting page. Then you can switch on the feature.
7. Beautify Your Photos
Download the “Beautify face” mode. Then you can beautify the selfie before capturing it. Run the app and go to MODE. Then tap and download “Beauty face”. When shooting photos, you can slide the bar to adjust Skin Tone, slim face and enlarge eyes.
8. Surround Shot
Surround Shot mode, which helps include more objects in the frame, is available on Samsung Galaxy S7. You’ll take a bunch of captures to fill up a 360-degree view of the world, from the top to the bottom, from the left to the right. And you have the option to stop at any time, or undo your last capture.
