HOW TO take the BEST photos with the S24 Ultra!

[@gotbordercollies]

Photos with benefits - well done!

[@stefw0200]

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.

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.

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!

[@polymatrix]

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.

[@gaganav9501]

I have s24 ultra when i take pictures using 200mp without flash and if i open the picture in gallery it automatically changes the skin tone and makes it yellow or darker than the actual tone with photo assist how to off it

[@LouAnnBeuke]

Wow, so good. Didn't know about the slider when locked in! Missed that one. Great feature. So much to know.

[@IgnacioCuriel]

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.

[@pascheblog]

I'm getting my S24 Ultra today, and I'm planning to start photography series at some of my social media accounts, and this video was very informative about how to use this phones settings.

[@RikAindow]

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?

[@techwithbenefits]

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 🤙

[@waynestoneman]

Hey Mate, good video. you say your son plays soccer. how do you go using the S24U to catch an °action shot°. Used it for my Grandaughters soccer game but getting to much blur. 😊

[@ezekiel884]

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!

[@RomanManjolo]

Samsung pro users 🤝🏼

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

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

[@Mmiller509]

Thanks for breaking down the awesome features on my S24 and simplifying them!

[@johnnyguitar-uu3zr]

GREAT Video ... what is your suggestion about the BEST audio settings for recording a video with music in it.

[@capstone-sr4ok]

Im becoming a photographer,,,and this really really helps,,thx uuu🙏🏼❤️

[@hagopsarkissian7512]

Thanks

[@techwithbenefits]

Thank you SO much!

[@DavidLewisTech]

Your retention will love me! I watched it all - even the ad read! Great nuggets in there mate

[@techwithbenefits]

Cheers mate, something for everyone hopefully 😅

[@robertmurdock7530]

Great info for me, as I want to get more involved with the S24's photographic capabilities, in depth. Thank you!

[@maybeits1K]

Hello, in Camera.. after setting up all the adjustments in “pro” mode, can you save it as a preset? Thank you..

[@_olamilekan]

Best device in taking photos of all time ❤❤❤❤❤❤ I love this device

[@robhughes8516]

You’ve got to be fk’n joking right? This phone has the worst cameras out there!

[@lordlouis9931]

Can you elymore on the 12, 50, 100 when to use scenarios

[@nivinhanna]

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.

[@techwithbenefits]

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

[@azza9423]

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 😂

[@Devang_Aneesh]

I heard that turning on scene optimiser will sometimes give over saturated photos and also it will ruin white balance

[@mredd110]

S24 ultra with the Adobe lightroom app will give u best results

[@KeokiDude]

Man, I’m loving your work and am glad I found you- thanks 🙏

[@entah2le]

I noticed you used the 12mp instead of the 50/200mp... may i know the reason? Earger to learn from you... thanks

[@techwithbenefits]

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.

[@RikAindow]

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?

[@nmeister67]

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.

[@techwithbenefits]

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.

[@RikAindow]

@@techwithbenefits thanks for replying. I will give it another chance and see how I get on. I've been using the medium settings so far.

[@RikAindow]

@@nmeister67 yep, me too. I'll see how the processing goes. That's the beauty of the phones: the ability to see the results instantly.

[@DamianNocun]

So once we are implementing rule of three, then it is actually better to turn the shot suggestion off, which is pointing to the center mainly no ?

[@techwithbenefits]

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

[@3D_Addict]

How did you get exposure slider visible and active in photo mode using 12mp sensor? For me it comes active only when using 50 or 200mp

[@3D_Addict]

Ok figured out, switching of af tracking gives that option back

[@techwithbenefits]

I was just about to say, turn off tracking AF lol

[@3D_Addict]

Worth to mention is to disable hdr in camera and gallery settings otherwise you will see terrible banding in colours like I did

[@tommyallonby61]

I took a few pics with the phone outside and they have serious banding. How do I eliminate this in future. It was a sunny day.

[@nithinsuryareddy993]

Hi there, Thanks for the tips. Could you please do a video on Indoor camera settings tips as well? For S24U

[@_olamilekan]

Best ❤️ Samsung Galaxy S24 ultra ❤❤ I love this tech review Guy ❤❤❤ best overall android Guy

[@SimonTimoney-74]

Great video thank you!❤️

[@Horace20101]

Is it just me or what, I find it quite inconvenient that the flash cannot turns on while I'm framing the shot. Like I wanted a light source, not a flash.

[@welsh2266]

Could you do a video on micro photo stacking please?

[@ame19938]

Which ratio is better for photos: 3:4 or 9:16?

[@AVerlardeee]

3:4 for photos, 9:16 for video's

[@Thapamnz]

Overall, the camera on the phone is satisfactory. However, the quality of zoomed-in photographs is disappointing, resembling oil paintings rather than clear images.😕

[@gaganav9501]

I have s24 ultra if i take pictures in 200 mp without flash and open the picture the photo assist will automatically makes the skin tone dark and yellow how to stop this im not liking the photos. How to off that

[@ladidadi79]

Great job!

[@ThatJerkFromCali]

I can't see the exposure slider when I take a photo. Mine is showing a square not a circle and no slider

[@_EP794]

how do you get the level line?

[@techwithbenefits]

Turn on gridlines in the camera settings!

[@jstorm858]

thank you

[@ntauzaug9595]

I disagree with a lot of the rule of third shots. Zoom in and show more of the object is better than include a lot emptied sky.

[@osamakhalid5490]

How to solve auto optimization issue please anyone help

Have you tried Gcam?

Great tips! 👍🏼

[@pratikmahapure4143]

Bro explaining 'Tap to focus' feature As it is only exclusive to 24u

[@techwithbenefits]

Nah bro. I was explaining a lot of things. Some of them exclusive to the s24 ultra, some are common tips.

[@pratikmahapure4143]

​@@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]

@@pratikmahapure4143 I have a video for that already. I made a whole video about expertRAW

[@hagopsarkissian7512]

Love the content.

[@marcwilone]

Awesome video

[@AlwaysHungry.]

Most of the photos look washed out and overexposed

[@onlygodknows7]

Only if iPhone people receive them they look amazing on Samsung phones

[@Regs3000]

😂 makes me think you didn't even actually watch the video.

[@mmafanatic-tz5or]

That's why I turn off intelligent optimization

[@tobiinmadeira]

Are we still waiting for a huge camera update ? This was rumoured.

[@Daniels94951]

Thank you, I do hv s23 ultra but most of the futures are available on it

[@DENVEROUTDOORMAN]

Yesterday are duh

[@gagandeepsingh8568]

S24 ultra has a very disappointing camera

[@JjTj-u1j]

Why

[@markosalevic9726]

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!

[@JjTj-u1j]

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

[@dannyg8032]

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.

[@nafeeahnaf6296]

That is such a horrible take

[@lemuelchevres4332]

@nafeeahnaf6296 he probably lives under a rock and hasn't seen reviews of this wonderfull camaras
