How To Use HDR Camera On Galaxy S8 And Galaxy S8 Plus

From all those features that Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus upgraded, the camera hardware is most praised. Known for the superior quality of its tech features and the images and videos it can capture, this Camera app offers users different shooting modes.

In this article, we’re going to make a short introduction for all these amazing built-in shooting modes. Chances are you haven’t paid much interest in doing so by now, but the information you are about to learn will sure prove useful at some point.

Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8 Plus camera shooting modes

When you open the Camera app on your smartphone, you can start taking photos or filming right away. If you don’t adjust any setting at all, the app will run on the so-called auto shooting mode, the default mode.

But if you are willing to take a closer look, you will notice three other shooting modes that you can choose from:

• The Pro Mode
• The Selective Focus Mode
• The HDR Mode

Want to use the Pro Mode?

You will have access to settings like the aperture or the ISO level and even the white balance. If you’re clueless about what would these mean, perhaps you shouldn’t try it at all. But if you have some photography knowledge and you make the right settings, you’re up for some impressively artistic photos.

Want to use the Selective Focus Mode?

As the name suggests, this one will take more than one snapshot of your subject, adjusting the focus levels from one photo to another. While you will have to wait a little longer for the camera to take all those shots, in the end, your Gallery will save a selection of photographs from where you can pick the best shot. As you can imagine, this is a great way to reduce the odds of getting blurry images.

Want to use the HDR Mode?

This mode improves the quality of images in different situations. According to Samsung, it combines multiple photos obtained at different exposures and creates a perfect mix from all that. Its name comes from High Dynamic Range and one of its main goals is to make photographs less dark, by adjusting the high contrasts or the harsh lighting conditions.

Just toggle the HDR to On, from your Camera app settings, and make a couple of photographs. You’ll see the difference with your own eyes!
