Here’s the crux of the matter: camera improvement update for the Galaxy S23 series is now available via a software update. The Korean tech giant doesn’t seem to be done with the new flagship lineup. Let’s take a look at further details.
Details of the camera improvement update for the Galaxy S23 series
To begin, the focusing algorithm has been modified to allow for speedier shooting. This means that when a user pushes the camera shutter button in the default camera app, the phone’s camera snaps the shot even if the focus is not entirely set.
Those who want the app to snap a shot only once a suitable focus has been set can modify the behavior by going to Camera Assistant > Prioritize focus over speed menu. Here’s a summary of the camera improvement update for the Galaxy S23 series.
- Added a function to the gallery so that you can delete photos that are being processed immediately after shooting from the camera.
- For faster photo shooting, the AF concept has been changed so that when the user presses the shoot button, the focus can be taken immediately even if the focus is not completely aligned. However, if you want to shoot after the focus is completed as before, please change the settings in the latest Camera Assistant. * Camera Assistant > Prioritize focus over speed On
- Camera Video Mode > After Super Steady On, we have improved sharpness/flicker and added instructions when shooting Ultrawide in low light indoors. “I need more light to shoot Supersteady.”
- Fixed the issue of intermittent green streaks on the left side when shooting in Rear Photo mode.
- Improved image stabilization when shooting with FHD60 after setting Auto FPS Off in the rear video.
- Improved line-shaped banding noise in the mid-to-low light sky when shooting high pixels in low and medium light. Optimized overall sharpness when shooting high pixels and improved intermittent blur through OIS stabilization.
- Fixed malfunction when shooting after Night Off in low light after selecting the shooting speed > High resolution > speed first in Camera Assistant *Camera Assistant > Shooting speed > High resolution > speed Priority and then Camera > Night Off or Scene Optimizer Off
- Fixed the issue of face recognition intermittently after the end of a 3rd party video call.
- Improved stability for camera operation from multiple other routes.
It should be noted that this camera improvement update is coming to the Galaxy S23 trio as part of the March update in South Korea, and it remains to be seen whether these improvements will be included in the April update for units in other regions, or Samsung will release an update before that just to deliver these improvements and fixes.
