Aperture priority??

Is there any way to choose this setting in the camera (sudo "manual" controls...)...?
I'm finding with landscapes, etc "normal" mode is choosing F2.0 for my pictures which is really not ideal... Have I missed the setting somewhere?
Or is there an app for that?

This is F2.0 fixed aperture lens. Aperture won't change. I don't know any phone camera that had variable aperture since N86. Yes,you will lose some details in extra wide landscape shots due to large aperture and wife angle lens couples with low resolution sensor but it is not too bad to be honest. The little compromise here gains advantage in other areas.
From my HTC One, right in your face....

[Q] Best default Camera Mode?

Do you guys have any opinions on what the best camera mode is for general shooting?
I'm trying to pick between Superior Auto, Manual 8MP and Manual 20.7MP.
Thoughts?

My pick is 20.7 MP with image stabilizer enabled, better results without it if you have a steady hand.

I use no scene, auto white balance (unless the auto gets it wrong), 20.7 MP, multi metering mode, image stabilize enabled.
To increase sharpness and reduce noise I then downsample the image to a width of about 3500px using Irfanview, because it's much better than Sony's crappy oversampling algorithm that it uses for the 8MP images.

Discussion 40MP vs 10MP photos

Hi guys,
I have just got the phone on Monday and I noticed that default setting for the camera is to take photos in 10 megapixels mode.
Is there any advantage of 10mp over 40mp mode that is available? What are differences?
I personally noticed that 40MP photos are darker and I need to hold my phone more steady than when taking them in 10MP resolution.
I attached 2 identical photos. The darker one is 10MP, the brighter one, little more blurry is 40MP

40MP option does not allow you to zoom. Only 1x

No real benefit. It uses pixel binning to downscale from 40mp to 10mp so essentially they end up the same quality

For quick snap or share I use the default Photo mode with 10 MP. If the photo will be used for web or print - then I use PRO mode + RAW format. RAW image from the main sensor is always is 40 MP - It does not depend on the resolution you choose.
RAW image + Lightroom edit + export is the best option for crisp and great quality photos.

That's true. If you're planning on shooting raw and editing yourself this is an instance where 40mp makes much more sense.

See men basically in well lit condition 10mp will take 9ver exposed pictures and 10 mp is for darker scenarios and 40mps use in day-time
Uooer image shot on 10mp u can see blue floor and red
Picture below is well balanced

I use 40 mp in when there is enough light, i prefer it for the more natural color and because I find 10mp over exposed
And I use 10 mp in low light condition

How to enable zoom in 48mp mode

Is there any way to enable zoom in 48mp mode in stock camera. Its a waste not to have zoom at that resolution

No, & will never have.
You're getting the final image as 48MP so can zoom inside that all you want & good for editing later on.

Doesn't zooming in on regular camera mode switch from camera lens to other camera lens?
So, it basically switches to 48Mp lens when you zoom 2x?
Edit: it does. Lower lens is for 0.6x, and middle lens is for 1x and 2x. Same lens is for 48mp. Upper lens is probably focus lens. Try choosing mode and covering lens with your finger, and you'll see which is which.

Upper lens is 2x Zoom. But only used in good lighting conditions. Otherwise the 48MP Camera is used

Can you explain better?
When i try to zoom in the 2x camera, still the 8 mp camera, dosen't change to the 48 mp camera, i can only use the 48 mp camera on portrait mode ou in pro mode, and on the pro mode the 48 mp camera is named "telephoto". I don't know... There's any chance to this happen beacuse of any software problem?

Question 3x 10x camera

is it normal in S21 ultra if i try to make a 10x photo, in some situations the 10x is a digital zoom from 3x camera?
i tried covering the cameras with a black paper, when i select 10x focus, if i'm in an open space the 10x camera (periscope) goes black, but if i'm in inside home on a long room (8 meters long) and selecting 10x focus the image goes black if i cover the 3x camera.
there is an application or something to see which is the lens in use when i shoot a zoomed photo??

Hi, you can check EXIF info (Select photo in gallery -> three dots/details) and verify the aperture
f/1.8 = 1x sensor
f/2.4 = 3x sensor
f/4.9 = 10x sensor
Depending on the light conditions, digital zoom or optical zoom will be used. This is because as you can see, the larger the zoom, the more closed the aperture, so less light enters the sensor, and the software thinks that digital zoom is better for those circumstances..

thanks, i was thinking it was for the short distance (8m indoor)

hello, Has anyone ever used the depth sensor on the s21 ultra to scan 3d samples yet, is it as effective as the lida sensor on the ip 12 pro?

Hi, sorry to disappoint you, but the s21 ultra has no depth sensor but a Laser AF, it only works to improve autofocus in photos and videos. There is no point of comparison with the iphone 12's lidar sensor.
