Galaxy S8 Camera: Everything you need to know!

[@SS-ui2le]

After spending a week on S8 camera videos, I finally came across the most comprehensive video on the S8's image and video capabilities. Great video, short enough yet detailed :)

[@MyUnfilteredDiary]

i pre-purchased this phone when it was just launch. i've been using it for a while and never knew it had that many features

[@DeepteshLovesTECH]

Samsung really packs in a ton of features in their camera app and the UI. They charge a lot so its kinda expected.

[@MrDanielfff777]

DeepteshLovesTECH I pay 29 a month

[@sheriffabubakarx6]

still too complicated for Apple users they'd rather pay more for less

[@flashfire4]

The iPhone 7 starts at $650 and the Galaxy S8 starts at $750...

[@samuelc8656]

flashfire4 how much storage does the 650 iPhone have ? Also does it have expandable storage.... ohhhhh that's what I thought.

[@flashfire4]

Wow, someone's triggered. I hate iPhones. I was just say saying that "pay more for less" should be "pay more for more"

[@haoyuxia7046]

flashfire4 but he iphone is a bit older right now the s8 is 650 too

[@pano3410]

flashfire4 actually the s8 starts and ends at the same price the iphone tho starts cheaper but to get the same space as the s8 it is more.

[@techh9171]

I love my s8+ and now watching this video I got to know what my s8+ can do

[@AseshShrestha]

Tech Triangle same here

[@shamimrahman4740]

Just wondering does it have portrait mode in front and back camera ???

[@ludyannsanjuan5580]

Me too 😊

[@maymontassar2242]

Asesh Shrestha same

[@googleuser2082]

And people are still buying iphones lol

[@aspirindamage5152]

Google User they are much more reliable and smooth overall to be fair.

[@pano3410]

Aspirin Damage in the long run yeah to be honest I have an s8 now but my iphone 3 still works pretty smouth while my s2 is lagging a little.

[@aspirindamage5152]

tea rex yeah, I had the iPhone 7, 6s, 5s. And gs7 edge and gs8, and a few other phones in the family, but the iPhone runs more dependable BUT galaxies are better for surw

[@michelleeric6585]

I just got my s8+ yesterday 😁😁and I love it.

[@yazidyahya5956]

I'm in love with hyperlapse mode. Even my usual walk from my office to the administration office looks interesting.

[@DPLZNT]

I love my S8. How do I make my low light pics less grainy

[@MrLanun8x]

wow!never thought the camera function that much.. I just bought s8 yesterday & still downloading few updates.

[@abhisheka3]

Alex, this was your best work yet! Thank you for such extensive coverage.

[@ARTA92663]

S8 is stunning😍

[@gabriellovesmusic]

I absolutely love the camera on my S8+!! Daytime shots are phenomenal. Night shots are surprisingly even better. All on auto mode. Enjoyed the camera so much, and I haven't even started playing around with manual mode/shooting RAW. It will only get more fun.

[@shamhosein770]

gabriellovesmusic once you go with the S7 to the s8 you can't go back to any other camera especially for low light.

[@kaynial]

hows the battery life ?

[@gabriellovesmusic]

Karen Alison pretty good as well.

[@kaynial]

Thanks mate

[@gabriellovesmusic]

Karen Alison and it's also worth noting that I came from Galaxy S6, which has a relatively small battery compared to the S8+, of course it's much better in comparison. But for people who made the switch from iPhone 6S Plus for example (or other phablets) may not feel much different.

[@thewarman9096]

go to the Galaxy apps and install music app from Samsung and play music then look the edge screen and enjoy.. thanks

[@fishsauce2221]

Is there any chance you can take a picture or a video via the volume up button and keep the screen off? The light from the screen messes with some pictures and videos. I think the wall or me is reflecting the light. Would also save battery since I'm taking a lot of pictures. I don't need the screen at this point.

[@Jim2point0]

8:17 - how do you get pictures with depth of field like that? I have the phone and none of my pictures look that good.

[@underscoreit7974]

I can't wait to get this. I've had Iphones for years and i'm really bored of them so i'm making the switch and im so excited

[@andywilson2807]

Same. Its so refreshing

[@alaabenzouak287]

Same

[@lm9847]

andy wilson ikr

[@fishsauce2221]

You have seen the light! Hallelujah! Welcome sister or brother.

[@Woodsy255]

I'm travelling throughout Europe for 3 months, and I'm thinking of just using my S8+ for pretty much taking all my photos. Although I am tempted by the thought of getting a mirrorless or high end compact system camera.

[@andrefullwood6804]

Well Brandon, it all depends on what you need. If you don't want to carry around to much stuff and your just doing some quick point and shoots, there's no need to get a separate camera, the s8/s8+ should be good enough. However if you want to be a little bit more professional with your shots (Using a tripod, switching lenses etc.) then you should get a separate camera. By the way, good luck with your travelling and I hope you enjoy yourself.

[@daniramdani8144]

all i just can say for this s8 camera is WOW.. new subs from Indonesia..

[@Asknursesosa]

Please how did you make your front camera sharp,mine appears blurry. Not sharp at all. Please help

[@greenfalcon1568]

mine is the same, do you have any solution to share?

[@mzachariah87]

What's the name of the song in the beginning of the video!?? It's really chill.

[@briananicole6259]

I neeeeeeeeeeed thiiiiiiiis phone

[@Basically_a_nobody]

BRi bri Did you ever get it?

[@nadeemnawab7398]

Me dila du???

[@scoobydoo5413]

i have it

[@taxx666]

BRi bri ya I bet she got it it's a sweet phone but kinda pricey

[@bgdomisals]

It's the best. I have had it for 6 months and it's phenomenal

[@KieranP1991]

How do you get the black bar with the buttons to go away with one swipe?

[@cretnotonic]

I can't get the 1 touch zoom to work. It just moves the shutter button and moves that around. I was able to get the zoom setting to show up by tapping 2 fingers at once to bring up the zoom scale.

[@jackreacher9351]

@Android central Is it still good to buy S8 or should I go with OnePlus 6? Please suggest me.

[@armelind]

I am considering buying the S8 thanks for the vid. My only issue in this video was your discouraging attitude towards taking RAW photos. With some practice, every photo you take with RAW can be substantially better than anything that can be done in Auto mode, unless you are just taking random snapshots. Without much effort I have managed to take great photos on my S7 in Pro Mode shooting RAW when my DSLR wasnt handy. Not to mention, you can perform more creative edits with all the extra data you get with RAW photos.

[@inactivechannel1456]

Is there a pause feature when you are shooting a video?

[@ZeusGlee07]

Im using s8+ right and im looking at your phone screen. Damn! I cant find the same button that you were using..

[@sammangilakshmana3990]

Is thr any chance to take some photos of stars or moon at night.. With s8.. Is it possible...?

[@Movement-l6l]

How do you do Face detection with the rear camera?

[@denverbri69]

Is there a tutorial that goes over these features more slowly?

[@itsalper06]

I can't use dual camera mode on my S8+. It saves the two photos back to back like I see the rear photo and I have to flip it over to see the selfie. Isn't it supposed to paste the one on top of the other?

[@gobhai]

Why do we not need selective focus with a f 1.7 lens? Please explain

[@pinky1933]

I would love to learn my camera as best I can, but I find it most suiting to just open the camera in auto mode and take the picture. I realize especially after watching this that there is much more fun to be had, but wow a lot to remember too.

[@rizzftw3711]

The virtual shot thing is so cool!

[@freeride5383]

Your in school and want your s8 to take a selfi... Shouting "SHOOT!" probs ain't the best idea😂😂

[@yay842]

Free Ride You're obviously American then so you should be used to it

[@oliverturner1890]

i'm impressed with all you've shown but you have not t put any detail into fast moving shots ie fast shutter speeds. this may seem basic to some but im still learning

[@kamalshara6563]

Plz u talk about s8 or s8+ what phone one your hand plz

[@SahibSingh-xc3kk]

Can I take portrait photos with rear camera

[@jjualvare]

Does anyone know if there is a portrait/studio lighting app for the S8 like in the iPhone?

[@trebbautista5981]

Hi goodday is the dual camera feature is downloadable? Thanks.

[@kelvin5807]

how to turn on stabilization ???????

[@MATHURASUNDARDAS]

So beautiful phone... like it

[@VitaminVS]

My hdr doesn't show up on camera screen. I have to go to settings all the time to enable or disable hdr. Please help

[@chris_6.2.74]

Hi Android Central: best guide on the tube till now. But can you tell me exactly which is the selected setting you used in order to make autofocus area button activate @6:12? It is always grey.. :( thankyou

[@Grodan20]

what android version do you have

[@vcentral]

No smooth zoom button for Video Recording? Only available for photo zoom? What's the point?

[@Hawaiilovesart]

help with video zoom! So I see the preview screen and when I hit record video button the camera zooms in and crops out a bunch of what I saw in preview. how can I get the camera to stop zooming when I hit record? just bought this phone a few days ago. but my s4 does better than this s8 on video

[@karanbhatt1795]

pls tell me the background music at the beginning of the video

[@SteveE963]

Very very well done! Thank you for this. It's a great help to me being somewhat new to delving into the camera phone world.

[@lumpvision5746]

when I shoot videos of myself (selfie mode of course) and I move, the camera jumps almost as if the camera is trying to focus. it did not do this when I 1st got the phone (S8+) so I'm confused on the sudden changes. I didn't adjust the settings either. any suggestions??

[@crushingheart569]

Well the price is ridiculously high therefore its should be a must great camera. It's not a surprise if the camera was very good.

[@Martin52183]

its not ridiculously high if you see all the features it has

[@michaelhand8771]

Martin Nguyen honestly 600 dollars overall isn't bad at all and I'm definitely not rolling in money

[@lanyardodo]

If you want ridiculously high you should be looking at the Note8 or iPhoneX. Heck the Pixel2 phones are the biggest offenders... The S8 in comparison has most of the flagship features at a properly high price, an approximate $100 more than the OnePlus5T

[@iParty501]

Samasung and iPhones are overpriced and overhyped phones, they're the past now. Look at the Just5 and Huawei Mate 10 Pro, much cheaper and 2x better!

[@randobv]

how can I take a night portrait with this camera?

[@BolermieWorldwide]

just go into the pro mode and adjust your exposure and aperture until it's right, try and avoid the flash at all costs

[@TashaMac1315SneakerNympho]

How do I flip from selfie to rear mode while recording?

[@mrperfect3666]

Sir, what camera did you do video recording?

[@feralicious7304]

help 1. I don't know if its present in the s8, but the screen flickers when I take slow​-mo videos on the s7 edge. is this ok? it appears on the final video too 2. what exactly does the tracking thingy do (he did it with the duck) 3. given you know how to use the pro mode feature, would you still use the auto mode as default or try the pro mode everytime?

[@HungerSlice]

1 Screen flickers as lighting isn't good. This occurs on all Slow Mo capable phones. Slow Mo should only be used outdoors in very good lighting. (This problem occurs as indoor/ artificial light rays does not travel as fast as natural light rays) This problem also occurs in the iPhone, Sony XZ premium / XZs and more. 2. I think it focuses on objects. Phones with dual- cameras have better auto focussing capabilities/ output through hardware. But the s8/s7 doesnt have dual cameras, so they try to imitate those features using software. 3. Neither have I used pro mode before and nor do I know about his choice. But I think he stated in the video that he uses PRO mode when he has much time and in best lighting conditions. He uses auto mode at night and when he doesn't have too much time

[@aureliedevos6020]

I got this phone 3 months ago, and The s9 is out now :( Btw is this filmed in Antwerp?

[@yahyaly159]

is there a portrait mode on s8 (human like iphone 7 plus)

[@pokebui1640]

Any idea why am I getting grainy pictures at night on both front and back camera (without flash)? Daytime is fine but night time is horrible. Please help thank you

[@956exterminator8]

how do you switch while recording??

[@keshav6819]

Does it have portrait mode? Like i phn 7 plus?

[@Geo-iz4oi]

When I zoom in to capture a skyline, the picture quality kinda sucks. Is there something wrong with my phone or is that just how things are?

[@joshuayalowitz8173]

voice control of the phone still doesn't seem to work. I know bixby vision is the problem and have created a toggle button to deactivate it but still find bixby vision and stickers ruining my camera experience.

[@parvezahmed9513]

I can't take selfie in landscape rotation using palm in s8. Please help.

[@johncasey37]

please post how you can send (message/email) a video that looks better than a 1950 TV. Cause I can't figure it out...so far. only option for me to put it on youtube and send a link. please help.

[@rajatsharma9751]

I want to buy S9 plus but I want to that are these features still available in S9 Plus? Like motion panoramas, wide selfie mode, virtual shot mode, selective focus and more. Can anyone help?

[@muhammedshameelm1337]

[@ericwhitehead1165]

[@badangbadang2907]

where can i find it?

[@user-cn4wy9zz5j]

How do you turn off beauty mode? It's really annoying me, I can't find an answer anywhere. 🙁

[@JRBowling1997]

Is the Snapchat camera as good as this? For the Snapchat app?

[@Basically_a_nobody]

jordan rausch No. The phone itself is not at fault for this. It's the developers and their terrible support for the Android Platform.

[@shaneehaha5755]

What about taking a video in dim light places

[@nateliontrueleo5436]

how you made the camera full screen on the S8 when taking a picture

[@kerol5617]

[@samham3901]

Great camera review 👌 thanks

[@howaboutghostmutt]

Is the software stabilisation available recording 4k?

[@AnthonyPerez]

Joshua Partijo you can but you sacrifice auto tracking.

[@howaboutghostmutt]

I've been seeing a lot of jello effect in S8 video. Is that from electronic stabilisation being on?

[@AnthonyPerez]

Joshua Partijo I have to say when it is in 4k mode it does have a jello effect

[@GuapDolo]

Anyone know how to turn on front facing flash while recording video?

[@Basically_a_nobody]

Guap_Dolo Hm, that feature might not be available then.

[@MrBond76]

Excellent review .. thank you .. Good luck ..
