Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra - Best Camera Settings

Күн бұрын

The Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra is probably the best Android smartphone out right now. However, the camera has been hit or miss with a ton of options. A lot of the settings are hidden so it's even harder to find. In this video, I will go over all of the camera settings to show you the optimal setup to take amazing photos.
There will be test shots showing the difference between the quick shutter options, as well as pro mode vs expert raw mode. Let me know if you have any questions!
Check out my preset system for editing all photos including images shot on the S23 Ultra azvisuals.com/store

I would do if the camera system featured was worth a damn, Kinda ruins it when they do stupid things Like forced 3 second shutter delays that you can't disable. How realistic is it to expect every single thing you want to photograph to sit Still for you, long enough to let the shutter go off after3 long seconds? Because I don't think it is which kind of defeats the purpose of owning it when half. The reason is the camera system, without that It's basically just another bloat ridden piece of junk from Samsung

As a pro photographer myself your vid was still in-depth enough for me to find both interesting and useful. Still experimenting and tweaking a few of the settings after owning the S23 for a month, but I'm seeing improvements over the S21 Ultra I upgraded from.

Accept for the Ridiculous 3 second shutter Delay you can't disable which kind of ruins Most photo opportunities I would say. How many pictures do you expect to take of something that may or may not sit still when it takes 3 seconds to take a photo? I'd say one at best if you're lucky mby? Samsung screwed up big time and Half the reason for owning this phone is now gone

Great video! I noticed that there is a difference in color depth between resolutions and using Pro Mode or Expert RAW. Apparently, using Expert RAW you get 16bit RAW at 12MP and 14bit RAW at 50MP while using Pro Mode you get only 12bit RAW at both 12MP and 50MP. It would be interesting to test the dynamic range under these conditions and see how much you can recover when editing.

Hey, really useful overview! I especially appreciate your observations on the default 12 megapixel mode vs the 50 and 200 megapixel modes. I am going to try using the 50 megapixel mode much more often to give it a good try, based on your recommendation. I have used both the regular Pro mode and the Expert Raw modes, and have found that the Expert Raw performs quite well when shooting in suboptimal conditions, such as through a plexiglas window that has some glare on it, or when there are misty conditions. The auto processing is great.

At the 5:25 mark you say: "I don't notice any over sharpening" Trust me on this one, the over sharpening on these Samsung phones is notoriously bad. Once you see what a good natural sharpness photo is supposed to look like, you will know. iPhone is doing the same over sharpening lately unfortunately. It's a cheap way to make a pic look a bit sharper on a tiny screen, but it's ruining the photo in the process when you want a bit more instead of a quick low-res Instagram pic. Thanks for the informative video!

@azvisuals Жыл бұрын

Thanks! I don't think you need to shoot on 50mp ALL the time, because there is still some processing delay involved and file sizes are larger. But for those important and beautiful scenes like landscapes def 50mp or 200mp even, since you got plenty of storage!

@arvandvarahram Жыл бұрын

Thank you for the great video. The main differences between Pro Mode and Expert Raw are these: Pro Mode works also with the Selfie camera and is also available for video recording. But there is a big advantage in Expert Raw: it allows you to save your setting combinations (e.g. for shutter speed and iso) and give it a nnam and easily reuse them. You can save multiple combinations for each lens separately. I also hope that both "developer teams" combine their products so that we have just the Pro Mode or Expert Raw.

@azvisuals Жыл бұрын

hey thanks so much for your input. I actually didn't realize you could save your settings like that in exp raw! really good to know

@dujankees Жыл бұрын

16:23 Expert RAW could be applying heavy noise and color noise reduction due to the fact that it resorts to using high ISO in lowlight by default, might as well stick with the regular RAW file. By looking at the final image, I don't think it even stacks/merges several DNGs to achieve that. Iphone's ProRAW I think is still unmatched in this aspect

Thank you very much Alex. It's very helpful as there are so many options to get the best out of it. And you are the first one who adresses deeply to the "shutter lag" and "motion blur" in a separate way. Personally I find that Samsung still has to improve motion blur as you show that the settings in Camera assistant drop picture quality too far imo. Why not giving us a special camera mode such as a sports mode for fast moving objects with good picture quality? Please give us more insight in getting the most out of the high potential of the camera.
