Jakarta, Gizmologia – Even though it was released earlier this year, the Galaxy S22 Ultra’s camera capabilities are still some of the best for this year’s flagship smartphone. To add flexibility in image capture, Camera Assistant is here to provide even more options.
The Galaxy S22 series camera application itself has indeed provided a variety of photo and video modes that can be used, both to make entertainment content more interesting and more “serious” through the built-in Pro mode. But this time around, there are several additional options Samsung provides to provide flexibility for those who like to capture moments from smartphones.
In addition to Camera Assistant, Samsung is also making an update to its separate camera application, which is Expert RAW. There are two additional modes you can try, namely the mode to capture the moment in the sky and the double exposure mode to produce more artistic photos. Both are still in beta, so the results aren’t optimal.
