Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra / S24 - Best Camera Settings

[@SnoozyAnne]

I'm here to check on the settings as I just got mine today! Valentine's Day gift from my partner 🥰🙏

[@ENGLISHISBEST]

What happened to the dozen red roses women used to get.

[@davidhiggins2804]

Im sure this is something she would prefer ​over roses😂@@ENGLISHISBEST

[@NYC_Goody]

​@ENGLISHISBEST 1000 plus dollar gifts are I guess the new standard.

[@ItsTomRich]

Congrats on your great gift haha

[@ToTo-h5z]

wow

[@abhayjitvirk5699]

Im not sure if youve noticed or mentioned it before but compared to the s23 series the oversharpening of the image has been slightly reduced, you might still want to add the medium sharpening toggle depending upon your taste but its a nice step in the right direction for the processing. I also hope you'll be able to get a review unit of some of the BBK owned phone brands as well as Xiaomi in the future but nonetheless i look forward to your future content. Keep up the great work 👍

[@matheusgazola764]

The post processing of the 50 and 200 mp are destroyng the phots even with all the settings (optmization) OFF. That is a BIG let down.

[@mirajhossen2616]

True. How to stop this??

[@oakridgereview1359]

Yeah they need to calm TF down on the smoothing and focus blur... I was ecstatic spending $1700 but it takes photos like a $170 phone... 😅

[@saleemfamily3784]

Shoot in pro mode

[@enes.7720]

Yuuuuge let down for me.

[@Ibuddy66]

Same here!!! OMG it's awful!!!

[@Lazy_Mammal]

Loved the video. Never used a Samsung phone and hated the older Samsung UI. But this seems greatly improved. Love your perspective on the camera app.

[@ItsTomRich]

Glad you found it helpful!!

[@jinuscaria3249]

The problem is photos taken from s24 ultra are so dull, and when zooming photos are so blurry, there are no sharpenes there.

[@Mistertony666]

Same shiet i have phone.is.bad battery bad

[@mandarchorage]

Same problem

[@donnawetter1513]

Just 2 big issues: ExpertRAW is broken and creates artefacts in lowlight images ProMode DNG is totally messed up and has 0 capacity for shadow and highlight recovery (while a dng taken with Motioncam is fine).

[@mcslicksena]

Please do a video for the Video settings!

[@GabrielPali]

Please, Please a video settings

[@saleemfamily3784]

You get the true RAW only in the pro mode of the native app. The expert raw app gives you an edited RAW

[@edgargalicia5071]

It seems to me that Samsung does not have the raw format natively, since even the expert raw app is computational, it is not the best

[@stampnurse]

I'm a beginner and your video helped me get started with my S24. I'll probably have to come back and listen again. 😊 And yes, I would love help with settings for video recording, too.

[@dri_him]

Question, that softening option in Assistant, is it applying post-shot or actually tweaking the main programming?

[@danielayanfe3592]

Samsung never explained

[@jayden6324]

the latter

[@Samer_Design]

all i know it reduce the sahrpening of post processing and not softening the image , kinda a misleading name but put it on medium for my s22+ and it is far better and more natural specially in indoors lights in the blured background you will see it is smooth and less noise

[@Mikker90]

when i take the pictures they look amazing! then i go to the gallery and it is processing, and boom - the image is ruined. Blurry and weird color. I tried turning off the processing and other stuff. Nothing works

[@ItsTomRich]

Try shooting in the Pro camera mode - less processing overall

[@Mikker90]

@@ItsTomRich Hi, Yes that removes the aggressive processing. But also limits me to only 50 mp shooting right? I hope they will add the feature to totally remove the processing. The pictures looks amazing before the process.

[@darioboavida8239]

Go to setings and turn super HDR off.

[@zankiohex]

I don't know if you or anyone else can answer this, but... I've got an S24+ and I've taken three identical shots of different things in 12mp and 50mp. All in HEIC. The 50mp not only look better, but are of SMALLER file size. How is this possible? They are identical photos taken within a second, but without fail the 50mp ones are always smaller. Sure it's a small sample size, but how could 50mp photos of the same thing with MORE detail be so much smaller than 12mp ones? Makes me feel like there's no point to even going with 12mp.

[@summayalhassan592]

Really big fan of your hard work...keep it goin👊

[@ItsTomRich]

Thank you! Will do!

[@user-hk8xe9vq9n]

This is really helpful, thank you! Do you also have a video about the S24U video setting? Wondering how to maximize the pro video for a concert setting. 🙏

[@TheBismrk]

It would be nice if you did an overview/review of samsungs in-built editing software.

[@JonathanKoscik]

I'm on the fence between the s24 ultra and the s24. The thing that will tip the scale is the difference between photo's. Do you have a view of the quality of photos and the flexibility in post processing between both?

[@jasperek]

Do yourself a favor and don't buy either one. I switched from s20 to s24 ultra and I'm extremely disappointed. The camera is absolute trash. You will be better getting pixel or any other android flagship

[@JonathanKoscik]

@@jasperek thanks. Yeah, I'm bailing on the upgrade. S20 still feels solid. 🤞🏻 For the s25 😅.

[@JuanPretorius]

just want to add (and dont have time to watch all the video sorry if you mention this) but keep the mp to 12 and not higher when in low light as pixel binning is much preferred over 50 or 200mp

[@ItsTomRich]

I didn’t actually mention this but it’s a very good point so still favourite your comment!

[@zogadwoe]

Wow. I struggle with taking good pics in low-light as well as when the light or sun is behind my wife with my Samsung phones. We're dark skin. What's the best setting for dark skinned people in low light or when light or sun is behind subject?

[@WoodDiffuser]

same problem @@ItsTomRich

[@chromab7713]

I have but one question about this camera...do I have any control over the aperture? Because I see the F number on the side, but I don't seem to be able to change it.

[@stevew1643]

I think you have to choose the "pro" option.

[@htank20]

Cheers, good video to set-up the camera when you've just got the phone!

[@elmars302]

To me it seems like the photos come out like.. overexposed? And the colors not really matching what I see if I use the HDR - any suggestions? E: Ok, so after more testing it looks like the images are taken OK, but then the 4 dots turn on the image in the gallery, and blow the contrast to the moon... but the Auto HDR and scene optimization was off? So what's at fault here, what's doing the processing?

[@avici0182]

This is a bug I think. It's doing an auto force processing it seems. I tried everything. But it still auto post process

[@jonclarke10]

Brilliant video - thank you. I am still trying to work out the raw pro as I want to learn more - great stuff, thanks

[@bhaskervm99]

Thank u for video. So many things I did not know before. Thanks

[@vk4609]

Camera Assistant App from Galaxy Store is by Good Lock Labs?

[@riponmia1610]

Thanks bro❤

[@kche1010]

why I don't have a "camera assistant" in a setting?

[@neilmackey9626]

Really nicely done video, Tom...appreciate your time, expertise and presentation style! I'm (still) using a S22U with One UI 6.0...just can't justify the move up to a S24U...yet. Hoping that 6.1 will bring out some additional features when it rolls out later this year. In your setting in Camera Assistant, for "auto lens switching" (which you had set to off, because you're a pro!)...for novice/intermediate shooters, would you recommend on or off? Finally, based on your knowledge and presentation style, I bet you could do a bang up job with a "Shooting in Expert RAW" tutorial...any chance of that? 🤔😉 Cheers!

[@BarmanClips]

I'm having the issue that in dark environments it turns the picture as if it was taken at day. I'm trying to get like a good night shot without the sky turning bright

[@PatriciaLen66]

Great info! Thank you. :)

[@NaiveBanana]

so are you seriously saying that, as a professional photographer, you can achieve MASSIVE potential with the s24U? How many photos did you open on a larger screen? How many times did you zoom in? You really didn't see the MASSIVE amount of noise that these lens produce?

[@Whodat__whodat]

what is the best setting for concert?

[@Ash_G]

That would be a good tutorial video actually. Best Pro settings for cinematic, nature, sports and night events.

[@christophetritz7612]

Hi Tom! And thank you so much for your videos!! I got a question about the S24 ultra battery > I went for on outdoor photo session, and it sucked 100% out of the battery in 5 hours! (no wifi, no bluetooth, no extra app but phone & gallery) Did you have similar experience?

[@michaelramasimong1855]

I complained to Samsung about this this morning. They told me that the phone will get used to how I use it and adapt. I made them aware that I have had it for less than a week and it switched itself off as well.

[@christophetritz7612]

@@michaelramasimong1855 Hello Michael! Thank you for your answer ! I also called Samsung support who advised me to return the phone for repair. I should get it back in about ten days.

[@icyfranky]

another add - -> use 3:4 ratio, so this is what the sensor is getting in order to get 50MP (16:9 gets 37MP) or 200MP (16:9 gets 128MP) it feels like it is cropping, but all other modes are cropped!

[@teemo5409]

Okay Tom, watching your video on my S24 Ultra. I'm a total newb with my phone's camera settings on any of my Samsung phones. My Note 10, my Note 20 Ultra and now this one. But i have to say your video was helpful. I don't even use my camera, but i wanted to investigate and implement the best settings when I opened the camera and just wanted to take the best picture. I've been looking for a tutorial on this and your video was helpful. Thanks so much, now you've gotten a new subscribe 😅👍❗ If you have any other tips, please leave a comment.

[@Wiwa7]

ProRaw is really good in low light, it’s literally making night into day when the moon is out. The sky is blue and all the other things have the right colour and brightness(when your iso or exposure is right). Sadly many reviewers and People don’t know this and Samsung also doesn’t seem to be to interested in the incredible performance.

I bought s24 ultra and first time in my life i am disappointed about photos quality. I have never had such a poor quality night photos. Even note 10 plus did better. If i do photo with normal mode its dark as hell , night mode it blurry very light and its impossible to do without tripod... never had such a problem with any samsung phone

[@ItsTomRich]

I've been holding off because I get such mixed results in low light atm. Samsung is due to release an update but the more it goes on the worse it becomes in terms of it's now been a good few weeks since the release

[@tbuchner21]

I have the new S24 Ultra and when I take a picture at 200MP, then I swipe up on the picture to show the pictures information, it shows that the picture was only 123MP. Would you know why?

[@Nonresponder01]

Did you increase the zoom from the 1x? Because it still allows you to increase but you lose resolution . Though it should say 50mp not 123mp. I just tried on mine and it said 200mp so if it's not that I'm sorry I couldn't help.

How do recommend recording uhd 4k 60fps. I notice in the sunlight without the zoom x3 u cant hardly see the black pants. Ive tried 1x but like i said cant see the black pants. So i had to do x3 the only thing with thst is u camt get the whole frame of the person along with the pants. Also the video shifts a lot in the x3 zoom. What do u suggest?

[@LUKarad]

is the best!!!!

[@LODIUZ]

Nice video as always! I really appreciate a video with the "Video" settings. Can you investigate the 8k mode? In one of your old videos for the s23U, you highlighted that the 8k30 was better than the 4k mode in postprocessing and sharpening, less digital look. It was the closest look to Apple ProRes. Thanks!

[@Lynn-zw7dr]

I've had issues with camera done everything with settings on my S24 Ultra, I loved the phone itself, but I'm taking it back tomorrow, I've set up my Pixel 8 Pro again, camera much better on that, it's a lot of money to feel feel dissatisfied, shame, maybe the update will improve things at some point.
