All of these settings, except the intelligent Image Optimization, are on the Galaxy M34 5G as well. Not that the cameras are as good of quality, but most of the settings & this video's content should be applicable to the non-flagship Galaxy devices, too. Thanks for the info!
Edit: in OneUI 6.1 there is a "Scene optimizer" setting but it's in the main menu; there's no "Intelligent optimization" category. So this feature will be more limited than on a flagship.
I'm not sure if other settings were the culprit but it seems to me that I've had a few problems with intelligent optimization, some enhancements were too exaggerated. I selected the minimal optimization and after taking the picture I can edit it manually, use the "enhance picture" option that appears when you swipe the picture up when viewing it in the gallery and/or use AI to make the changes and get a more appealing result. If the original picture is already heavily optimized and you do not like the result, new edits probably won't improve it. But I'm still learning about the many picture modes and options and I hope the bad results I had with intelligent optimization turned on were the result of me not knowing how to use the other image settings properly.
Taking photos is mostly not about tech specs but aesthetics and knowing what you do. Glad you mentionen 6:48. Everyone using real cams, i.e. 50mm lense corresponding to human eyes, is still annoyed with smartphone standard lense, being mostly about 24mm. To get the real experience of human eyes, i.e. standard focal length, you need smartphone 2x "tele". Surprisingly in entry level 2 lense phone, they're not equipped with 1x + 2x but 1x + 0,5x which doesn't make sense at all from a photographer perspective. Take portrait mode. It's ridiculous to make protraits with a 24mm lense. Should best be about 80mm, which in smartphone terms means 3x tele, but unfortunately this is missing in most standard phones at all.
A perfect showcase of using phone's features to their fullest with practical examples. I could relate to all the tips having used most of them myself at some point or another, and I completely agree - these tips really elevate the quality and impact of the photos and videos. This video was great!
Great video, Daniel. One thing i love about Samsung OneUI is so many features cross generations in terms of functionality. Some may say it's "boring" but for the less technically minded, the sense of familiarity makes upgrading easier and for the more technical like us, it makes teaching the less technically minded, much easier. I love my S23 Ultra and find the cameras amazing. Just curious though, do you think there's much in it between camera of the S23 Ultra vs S24 Ultra?
Thank you 🙏 The main difference is some subtle processing differences. I have actually done a full comparison between the 2 on the channel that might be worth checking out 🤙
Hello. I think the photo suggestions feature is a very gimicky thing, because most of the time (if not always), it "suggests" the best shot is on the center of the screen. But then, we know that a good shot is not always setting the "object" of interest right smack in the center, just as you mention further regarding the rule of thirds... which, BTW, is only one guide for armonic compositions (the golden rule is another). I find it funny that you recommend enabling the photo suggestion feature, but your screen captures at the time you take photos show that you do not pay attention to the suggestion.
You should incorporate Samsung or galaxy naming into your channel name as you solely focus on Samsung devices just a recommendation! Love your videos and what you do for the Samsung community
Honestly surprised you didn't cover any lenses or photography hardware, don't get me wrong, all these tips are phenomenal but I would love to see what you could do with the s24 and say some neewer gear, particularly since I have some on the way and really need tips 😂
Amazing video. Thank you. One thing I am really struggling with is getting all people in a shot to remain in focus. If I am really far away, the phone can pull it off, however if I am within around 1-5 metres and using the 1x camera, even with face recognition on, the phone will blur some people whilst maintaining perfect focus on others as long as they are the same exact distance from the lens. No matter what settings I have on, I can't get it to work, mind you, I just turned on Scene Optimiser just now as per your recommendation in case it does the trick. A mate of mine tried it on his phone and he has the identical issue. If this is not something you face, it would be so helpful to know how you've configured every single setting.
Thank you 🙏 The main sensor is quite large for a smartphone so it would create a bokeh effect if things are close to the camera, if one subject is closer to the camera than others (like 1m close) it could create that natural bokeh and blur out others. Perhaps try and take a few steps back and use 2x (same camera but can change the framing and algorithm potentially) or try the ultrawide
The 12mp is the quickest at capturing and is the best balanced with HDR and processing 50/200mp are better used for landscape photos where you have a bit more time to capture and set up the shot. Also requires better lighting, especially at 200mp.
Overall, the camera on the phone is satisfactory. However, the quality of zoomed-in photographs is disappointing, resembling oil paintings rather than clear images.😕
You don't need to turn it off, it will still try and position the framing according to rule of Thirds as it uses a reference of over 2 million shots to compose the shot. Sometimes your eye knows better though once you get used to doing it a lot
What are your thoughts on intelligent optimisation? Some say that it makes taking photos take too long and introduces blur or an over sharpened look. Have you found this?
Apreciate I'm not TWB, but +1 for not using IO. I use the meduim processing option, too. I actually prefer the softer, less saturated, more natural look and these settings look much better alongside my Sony mirrorless camera.
What I like about it is that it adjusts the processing based on what you're taking a photo of. So you're getting some light edits added effectively. If you're using photos for social media and to share with friends, it can really enhance a photo. It hasn't slowed down the experience of using the camera on the S24 Ultra for me personally.
@@techwithbenefits I know dude I watched whole video But instead of showing basic tap to focus and exposure slider like things u could have focus more on other things like ProRaw settings/Astrophotography/hyperTimeLaps etc
@@techwithbenefits i am using the phone right now. And tonight i was shamed by iphone 15. The picturex were brilliant on iphone and nothing comparable to s24 ultra. Samsung is shit and i am sorry i buyed and wasted my money on s24 shit. :(
@@techwithbenefits and you cannot tune anything from settings, if samsung failed to do it with factory default settings. Its a shit camera and everyuser knows it. Iphone is 10x times better than s24. S24 takes pictures like phones born in 2015.
very sad that a phone like this has such a bad camera.. like a toy. After three ultras in a row ...22, 23 and this current s24 ultra... if samsung doesn't change something and respect its fans..never again samsung in my family!
What are you yapping, s24 is the only good camera from Samsung it is the first Samsung to balance everything the recent Samsung's had really bad photos as it overexposes the pictures so much that it actually doesn't have any detail anymore. S24 finally brought balance in the camera, i had an s23u,s22u,s21u,s20+,s10,note 10+ and the s24 u is leagues ahead
Those pictures are so washed out and dull. Mediocre cameras on an overpriced garbage phone. Vivo X100 Ultra and Oppo Find X7 Ultra destroy the S24 Ultra in photography and videography.
