How to use the new Samsung camera pro mode

- Speed

Speed
This has to do with the shutter speed, controlling the amount of light entering the lens before taking a picture. A slow shutter speed is advisable for taking night pictures while a fast shutter speed is for capturing fast-moving objects by allowing lesser light.
ISO
This has to do with the camera’s light sensitivity. Low ISO values are for stationary or bright-lit objects, while high ISO values are for fast-moving and poorly-lit objects. This setting of the new Samsung Camera pro mode helps you control the ISO value as high settings result in noise in videos or pictures.
Focus and Exposure value
You can manually drag the adjustment bar to get a preferred focus range. The exposure value is a measure of how much light the camera sensors receive. It is ideal to set for high exposure in a low environment.
White balance
For images and videos to have a true-to-life color range, the new Samsung camera pro mode helps you set an appropriate white balance as well as the desired color temperature.
MIC and Zoom
For video recordings, this setting helps select which direction sound you want at a higher level as well as connect a USB or Bluetooth microphone while making your recording, and also adjust zoom speed.
