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

[@TEXASLOYAL]

@@deaderthendead041You poor little precious lamb😢

[@cameronlotter1392]

​@@deaderthendead041you can change the amount of shutter delay in settings you weirdo. Next time do your research before crying so much

[@Paddy984]

I've been a typical auto and shoot kind of guy for years, but after watching this video tutorial, I can see there are obvious benefits to using actual settings, and I am eternally grateful for it. From Ireland, I wish you all the best.

[@kelly-anngreenidge5626]

This video has made me have no regrets in purchasing my S23 Ultra last month. Thanks for sharing. Will re-watch again.

[@kstee19]

This is exactly what I was looking for. So many talks about the enhanced camera lenses and improved processing, but as an ordinary user I typically use the camera as it is. Never knew the features well enough to appreciate the enhancement. Your video has definitely bridged some knowledge gaps. Keep up the good work!

[@azvisuals]

Thanks for watching appreciate the feedback!

[@deaderthendead041]

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

[@T2dajay]

This is one the best videos for photography on a Samsung. Thank you!

[@SilentKnight43]

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. My dslr cameras are becoming dust collectors more and more these days.

[@azvisuals]

Appreciate your experience and input! Yeah my mirrorless system is not getting much use anymore

[@SiV3rTs1]

I found ur vid and used all ur settingsd first, and LOVED it ! then i was chillin on YT one day and found another, and tried them.. have been searching for ur vid sinces then and now im back on these settings again ! love it ! :D thanks

[@MissFlaar]

I bought a S23 ultra two days ago and still needing help with camera setting so this is really helpful to see

[@romulovasconcellos]

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.

[@Khatir.q2l]

You are very good at explaining everything, I like that you don't talk a lot like other KZbinrs.

[@azvisuals]

Thanks! I try to get straight to the point and not waste much time

[@multireel7590]

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!

[@neild108]

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.

[@nizar77fr]

Same here S10-----> S23 Ultra

[@azvisuals]

Nice, thanks for your feedback! Good to know exp raw is able to perform better in those kinds of conditions

[@1796Sanctuary]

This was one of the best settings videos I've come across so far. Cheers

[@azvisuals]

Appreciate you!

[@buenoadriano]

Thanks a lot for helping me with the issue I was facing with this auto lens switching. When I zoomed at night it changed the lens and made the photo with a lot of noise. With this I finally got it back to normal. So relieved 😅😅

[@CFootprints]

As someone who has been dabbling with mobile photography with the s10 and has now upgraded to an s23 ultra, this was super informative! Your example and comparison shots were very helpful in understanding the differences. Hoping Moment releases a case for the s23 series.

[@aazetcg]

Super helpful alex, appreciate the help. Just picked up my s23 ultra last week and coming from a iphone it was quite daunting trying to figure out all the camera settings. Your video helped me out massively. You got yourself a new sub :)

[@azvisuals]

Glad I could help! Appreciate the sub

[@XhaleR]

Great tutorial! Learned a lot of new settings on the S23U camera.

[@alexhaui9356]

It is great to see photographers with a samsung phone and not with an iphone..love it. and by the way: „alex“…what a wonderful name 😉

[@azvisuals]

haha thanks for watching!

[@antonieoostendorp1616]

Great tutorial Alex, I bought my 23 Ultra a week ago and really like the Camera. I am wanting the best as I also have a D7000 and D500 for my photography work. What i like about the Camera is the quality of images it is producing.

[@gatorstupor]

Great job man you earned my sub this is the first video i see of you!

[@azvisuals]

Appreciate that! Thanks so much

[@esshkeerill]

Amazing video!!! Thank you for expanding upon the camera assistant! I don't know about it, but it's definitely another step toward making S23 Ultra a game changer

[@dujankees]

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

[@azvisuals]

Yeah good point. I think the iphones approach produce higher quality files for sure

[@wyregrasser7540]

Thanks, dude. Trying to transition from conventional SLR to Phone for 95% of my needs (backpack/outdoor). Just purchased S23 (for size) from S9. Believe it or not the S9 prompted this move. Not that they matter but here are my thoughts. The best camera for the shot, is the one you have with you. In reality I never used all that crap on my "nice" cameras anyway. With the exception of some freaky nuisances the quality is on point. Finally, just the sheer flexibility, ease of use and convenience make the switch a "no-brainer" for me. Thanks for the instruction. 👴 It's worth mentioning that I don't have the Ultra and the S23 doesn't have all the features you mentioned.

[@MPARKS27]

Excellent video! Great info delivery, well composed shots, fun and interesting. Subbed!!

[@azvisuals]

Appreciate it!!

[@rogergrossenbacher6705]

Alex, awesome video! Extremely detailed, you gave me a thousand reasons to buy one. Thanks!

[@ZardSalleh]

Very well explained! As a photographer who owns real camera and using the phone for just simple point and shoot, the issues kinda cause a huge itch. Thanks for the well informed details

[@brando3424]

I think the bigger creators need to take notes from you, man. This video was superb.

[@jonathanchow1373]

Perfect video! I want to get into learning photography and was thinking of buying a dedicated camera. Now, I think I'll learn first on my phone's camera before spending all that money

[@coquiangel]

Thank you for the tips here. Good video! I'm new and just subscribed.

[@brianoconnell-or5dc]

Excellent video, thanks Alex. good luck with the snapping.

[@John.Doe.A.D33R]

Well done sir, You just earned yourself a new sub. 🙋🏻‍♂️ Good job, keep it up. 💯 ❤️

[@azvisuals]

Thanks! Appreciate you

[@TitserDig]

Wow! This helps me a lot! Thank you. From the Philippines.😊

[@merpmerp9590]

Great video! I love my s23 ultra!

[@LAAM619]

Thx for the video! You help out us photographers that may know how to work a camera but not these cell phones lol.

[@edwing1947]

thanks for this video...looking forward to your up coming full review.

[@JuneAbundance]

Thank you for this tips and ideas, I learned a litttle bit more!

[@kingkingg7868]

KZbinrs make great video guides, but half of these guides are impossible to follow if it's over a month old. So big shout out to Samsung, for having these settings switch between the 5 camera app menus, & on every fricking update they jump around.

[@diegothephotographer2036]

This is gonna be very helpful, I just ordered mine. ❤

[@the54th34]

When I need reviews on the camera quality of smartphones I go to the pros. Solid review

[@Johnnn93]

new subs here! i lie the vid and background coz i loved BLACK!! good vid and detailed review and its cleannnn!

[@LOOKn4WRD]

Really helpful information. I'm hoping to improve my camera knowledge with this phone. Looking forward to your full review.

[@chrisb6482]

Dope review dude! So in depth! Love it!

[@N3T0M4N]

Good video. Thanks for being so technical

[@Sally32669]

Thanks for the tips!! I didn't even know camera assistant existed 🥰

[@cynthiakent4033]

Alex is our camera assistant!!!!!😉😉

[@azvisuals]

No problem!! Glad it was helpful

[@elizaalden]

Thank you dear for the video. Love ya ❤!

[@dmderrick]

Thank you for a great tutorial!

[@sarfrazkhan2578]

I was waiting for your review!

[@azvisuals]

Appreciate you! But this isn't a full review, just a settings video to optimize the camera. Tips to reduce shutter lag, pro mode vs exp raw, 12 vs 50 vs 200mp, etc. Still working on the photographer's review because this camera system is so hit or miss its hard to fully test!

[@birdybro9403]

Thanks for the in depth look into the S23. What tripod would you recommend for taking great stills and night photography?

[@Amiryunis]

thank you very much. great explanatory video for a complicated system. i wish you explained more about how to edit the raw images...

[@desireless4092]

Thanks for the tips Alex. I am a total noob when it comes to taking photos and the only thing helping me safe face is the heavy editing that my S23 Ultra does. I will follow this guide along your other one for editing the shots with Lightroom and experiment to see how stuff looks.

[@valfriesen4861]

Very helpful! Very helpful!

[@sukhjeet__]

Please make a detailed video like you did with s22 ultra...in social media and pixel peed ❤️❤️loved that

[@mhas9110]

Very informative and helpful video! What's your recommendation for the best quality image straight out of the phone without post processing?

[@azvisuals]

For the easiest setup I would shoot in auto with hdr on or off, depending on your liking. And leave scene optimizer on because the auto night mode can help in low light

[@Niimerium]

Any chance we can get another review now that oneUI6 is out? There are some subtle changes it seems to camera.

[@AverriJoint]

Alex how did you accomplish the side by side upload? I love this idea of uploading videos.

[@azvisuals]

I use premiere pro to edit and its just overlaying two videos onto the frame so they appear at the same time!

[@insanebmxthomas]

Very glad i watched this video. Guess im taking 50mp pictures at the very least from now on 😁 Good reason to have bought the 1TB version lmao. And i do agree the 200MP, although a partial gimmick, is crazy. All i wanted was photo quality to be useable as wallpapers on my tv linked pc. 200mp will do that job pretty well 😅

[@azvisuals]

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!

[@anotheran]

Did you notice the 50MP and 200mp over exposing during post processing in low light? So after you snap a photo and take a look at he photo, it’ll look like what you saw on the screen then after post processing completes, a different photos appears that’s super warm

[@azvisuals]

Yeah I do notice the processed photo looks different from the preview. You can even see it change when you click to view it in gallery while it's still processing

[@anotheran]

@@azvisuals wonder if there’s a way to disable that processing

[@jfreitas3452]

Amazing video!

[@Doris29Tina]

thank you so much for video lots for me to learn, do you have any tips/suggestions for using ar a concert for photos and vids please?

[@bigdaddydonaldd]

Good video. Very informative. Just got my S23 Ultra yesterday. So far so good. Only 1 small delimma. I can't find Camera Assistant in the app store.

[@VegasGary]

It's in the Galaxy store. Hope that helps.

[@okanoshi941]

Thanks so much for going thru the somewhat grueling process and sharing your experiences and preferences with us, Alex! We all what to maximize the phone camera's full capabilites, so greatly appreciate your tutorial video! 💯🫶

[@DavidBihan]

Late to the game but loved the video. One more thing, the Raws from Expert Raw are normally already processed and good to share, however, it will also turn into a normal Raw with all the noise in the pics when opening them in editing apps like Adobe rush or Snapseed

[@ChristineTabor]

Thank you for excellent tutorial. Definitely am subscribing. You mentioned clearing background apps to speed processing... can you clarify how that is done? I don't really do video and inadvertently selected something in video settings about audio on... now cannot find.

[@aprillady]

I think he meant that you close all previously opened apps before using the camera 😉

[@larsvandewouw55]

Hey great video! I have 2 questions: 1. I cant find the Camera Assistant in the play store, what happened to the app? 2. What is the difference vs lets say the 50mp mode and the 9:16 mode? Since im going to take videos as well and there they recommend the 9:16 setting and i figured it might be handy to take pictures with the same setting. Can you explain the difference and what would you recommend me to do if i want to make a vlog/aftermovie of my journey through Thailand and Cambodia :)

[@trishaburris1724]

It's in the samsung playstore. It was answered down below. I went thru all the comments looking for the answer.

[@michaelbrenner9529]

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.

[@azvisuals]

Thanks! And yeah I like your suggestion of a sports mode or something similar to increase shutter speed even if it means slightly noisier images

[@georgethanos2063]

Great video @Alex. I would also like the same comment. So, at the end of the day what is your suggested setting for shooting moving objects with less blur?

[@dyrabudprashadisasmito8537]

Thanks for the tips it is so helpful

[@5forwards367]

Thanks for the video! Which wallpaper are you using?

[@phinsxiii]

So Night Mode on the S23U does not take great quick shots of the night sky anymore like the S22U, S21U, and all the other new phones. It's taking 6 sec shots now that either come out unfocused or streaky stars once the AI processes it. I know it is the processing because if you zoom into the photo out of the camera app it will remove the processing temporarily and I can see the stars clearly. What did they change? Is there a way to fix this without doing 4 min astrophotography or custom pro mode settings?

[@chibizeinvestiment2883]

learnt a lot. Thanks

[@tubemariko]

great work!

[@arvandvarahram]

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]

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

[@bubetrajkovski]

So, i have to be honest, i just switched from Huawei P30 Pro to this phone, and quite honestly, i still consider the Huawei's Camera to produce better pictures overall, especially with the Zoom Quality. I have been feeling really underwhelmed with this camera, i don't know what it exactly is, but whenever i make a shot and zoom just a tiny bit, it doesnt have the same quality as a shot i would have taken with the Huawei.

[@azvisuals]

Maybe try editing your photos to recreate the look that the Huawei produces?

[@crescentmoon4415]

I wonder if you still feeling the same. I still in love with Huawei, and contemplating to buy samsung..

[@bubetrajkovski]

@@crescentmoon4415 i honestly am. I can without a doubt say that i miss my Huawei. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice phone, but that periscope zoom on the huawei is just on a different level.

[@AlhazerdVivi]

Hi, I'm planning to tavel to Europe soon to take some photos, preferably landscapes, architectures, and other scenery, what mode would you recommend? 50MP? or 200MP? Thanks in advance

[@klause.9182]

I would use 50 MP in good light. The images are very clear without being over-sharpened and you have enough meat on the bone to make crops. In low light, I usually like the results better with the 12 MP mode. Or try expert raw. What is highly recommended with the 50 MP mode is the 2x zoom. Corresponds to about 50 mm focal length. If that fits from the cutout. no distortion at the edge and also very good quality overall.

[@thehushgamer1048]

Thanks for the advice broo

[@krpa3401]

First, let me congratulate you on a great video, keep up the good work! I have a question about the video options. I am a DJ and I would like to record my performances with the s23 ultra, but I am not sure which options are best for such an environment. They are mostly darker spaces with a light show. I would hold the device on a tripod next to me. I'm also wondering if I should leave the 360 ​​audio recording on? Thanks in advance 🖤

[@LoveWiena]

regarding 'reduce shutter lag' 7:18, you mention clearing all recent apps. Background processing can be a factor. But what does this mean, all apps? When I am out for a hike, I have a Bird App on, my Walking Odometer Pro on, and the camera. I basically use just the Photo button for now as I am new to the camera, but I am finding that my landscapes are not focused for infinity. Do I have to go to Pro or Raw to get this better? But I take pictures of birds and they are not coming out any good unless I am about 15' away. Then the AI takes over and makes for a strange picture. I'm very frustrated.

[@rikhavvora9328]
