Pixels, artificial intelligence, modes or zoom?What to know about the camera of his cell phone - Samsung Newsroom Colombia Samsung

The photo taking is one of the functions that we perform the most with our cell phone;To ensure the best quality, keep in mind the following characteristics.

Relive and share moments or just have fun are some of the reasons why photographs are taken.According to the Colombia 2020 mobile consumption study, developed by the signing of the Loloite, taking photos is the activity that Colombians do the most on their cell phone, above review social networks or mail;In fact, nine of the 10 activities that Colombians do the most on their cell phone depend on the camera.

In this context, finding a smartphone that has a camera that exceeds expectations is essential to improve experience;Therefore, Samsung presents a guide that will help to understand the most important specifications of the camera, so that when buying a cell phone identifies those that will be more useful in their day to day to day.

Artificial intelligence

Anyone might think that megapixels are the most important characteristic when buying a mobile device, but is very far from reality.Artificial intelligence is now the protagonist when granting the camera, through software processing, improvements under the conditions or correction of errors to achieve spectacular photos.In this sense, the cell phone processor plays a primary role, because it uses advanced algorithms to deliver the best capture.That is why when acquiring a good camera, make sure you are enhanced by a good processor.Today the most advanced in the market are the Snapdragon 888 or the Exynos 2100, the latter present in the Galaxy S21 Family.

Glasses

Smartphones every day integrate more lenses and achieve a good photograph depends on how good they are, but also that they are used correctly.The most advanced devices on the market, such as the Galaxy S21, normally have a wide angle, an ultra wide angle and a teleobjective.Angular lenses allow a greater portion of the scene from a smaller distance, so it is perfect for interior photography.For its part, the teleobjective is responsible for the zoom, so it is useful for photos that demand a large level of detail.By combining two or more lenses we achieve the famous Bakeh effect, which gently broke down the background of the image, giving a more professional appearance to photography.

Opening

The fundamental key to photography is knowing how to handle light correctly.Opening is responsible for this function by indicating the luminosity of the objective.A larger opening will allow more light than a minor opening.The manufacturers show this indicator with the symbol F.Another important part for light management is the HDR function (High Dynamic Range), which allows all areas of the image to be correctly exposed even if there are some darker.

Photograms per second

This feature corresponds to the amount of images that the camera captures per second.From 12 fps the human eye will begin to see an achievement of photos such as a moving image;that is, a camera that captures 12fps records video;However, I do not satisfy with that, the market standard is well above that figure reaching up to 60fps in the Ultra Galaxy S21, equivalent to quality 4K.

Video recording resolution

The resolution of an image indicates the amount of details that can be observed in them.There are HD, FHD, QHD, UHD or 4K and 8K, this value being the maximum and although few professional cameras can reach recording in this standard, there are few mobile devices such as the Galaxy S21 that support this quality.

Optical stabilization

It is no use to have good lenses, but we have optical stabilization.This feature is essential to keep the sensor and chamber lenses still, while the shutter is open, which gives us well -focused.Samsung calls this Super Steady function and is so advanced that it allows stable videos, even when the user is running, skating or under conditions of high movement.

Pro mode

Although many of our devices automatically select mode, it is important to find a phone that integrates the pro mode.In this way, we can manually adjust the values, so we will go from having good photos to spectacular.Here you can adjust the ISO (sensitivity of the sensor when capturing the light), the opening (amount of light), the approach, the temperature, the contrast, the saturation, among many other values, as would do so in a professional camera.

RAW images

The capabilities of the most advanced cell phones have become professional photographers to amateur photographers.An important feature to achieve better shots is post production, for this there are some mobile devices that generate the images in RAW format, which means that it delivers the simple and unprocessed the camera sensor.This recording format, typical of professional cameras and now available on smartphones, gives us the ability to have more postproduction data in order to achieve a film result.

Modes

An added value that manufacturers deliver to the user are the camera modes, these vary from manufacturer to manufacturers;However, some of the most prominent are Night MO (which improves the light when the conditions are not the best), Slow MO (effect that artificially relieves an action), takes unique (take several photos and videos with only one touch) andDirector mode, presented by Samsung for the Galaxy S21 line.In this way, you can see, change and select the best take to capture clips from different perspectives according to the narrative you want to adopt.

Remember that as photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt said, "the most important thing is not the camera but the eye", so approve of all the technological tools that you have available and use them in your favor.
