    Why does my Samsung camera have two buttons?
    millie
    over 1 year ago
    The button does what you think it does; it gives you a camera button that can be freely moved around on the screen and placed wherever you want it to be. The second button is independent of the original camera button, which stays where it is.

    Does Samsung S22 have night photography?
    conrad
    over 1 year ago
    The Galaxy S22 series in particular has 23% better night photography than last year's Galaxy S21 series. Thanks to larger pixels and a sensor with advanced AI high-resolution processing, the Galaxy S22 cameras are able to capture 4x more data than ever before to create a noticeably sharp image.

    How do you fix a Samsung camera that won't turn on?
    boyd_bayer
    over 1 year ago
    Camera Won't Power On If the camera won't turn on, first make sure the battery is fully charged and inserted correctly. Otherwise, remove the battery and memory card for at least 15 minutes before trying to power the camera on again. If it still won't power on, it may need to be taken to a repair center.

    Tap on "Mega Cam" to test out your main camera. Use the volume buttons to zoom in and out, then tap on the camera button on the bottom of the screen to snap a photo. Please note that flash is on by default, and your test photo will also be saved in your gallery.

    What is the use of three cameras in Samsung?
    shane
    over 1 year ago
    The triple camera setup is pretty standard -- there's a standard view, a super-wide angle view and a telephoto lens to zoom in on distant objects. Images from the standard camera look great, with plenty of detail and a great balance of exposure between the bright and dark areas.

    Method 1: Clear cache and data Restart the phone. If restarting doesn't work, clear the cache and data of the camera app by Settings > Applications > Application manager > Camera app. Then tap Force Stop, and go to the Storage menu, where you select Clear Data and Clear Cache.

    Why do Samsung phones have 3 cameras?
    eliseo
    over 1 year ago
    The third camera setup that's starting to appear on every smartphone is normally being used to enhance a phone's zooming capabilities or capture more details in a single frame. Even though the wide angle lens is the most popular choice for the third camera, there are other use cases as well.

Samsung is not one to shy away from trying something new (remember the Dual View cameras?), and more recently they've been blurring the lines between Android smartphones and traditional digital cameras. Only one of the company's four products was actually a phone: the Galaxy S4 Zoom. The Galaxy NX and original Galaxy Camera offered 3G and 4G connectivity, but you couldn't make a call on them (unless Skype counts). Samsung's latest model is the Galaxy Camera 2, which goes Wi-Fi only but is otherwise a nice upgrade to its predecessor.

When the original Galaxy Camera was introduced, Samsung brought forth hopes of a world where smart cameras would help people capture memories with more capable sensors than smartphones, edit those photos on the fly with any number of easy-to-use photo editing applications available on Google’s Play Store that doesn’t require a skilled knowledge of Adobe
