Samsung One UI 6.1 Natural Density (ND) Camera Filter
Samsung‘s One UI 6.1 brings support for several new features to enhance the Galaxy Camera experience and one of them is the Natural Density (ND) filter. This feature was once exclusive to the Galaxy S24 series, introduced with the first One UI 6.1-based update.

The ND filter allows amazing control over the lighting in photos, mirroring the functionality of professional camera filters. This is especially useful for outdoor settings where lighting can vary considerably.

This camera feature simplifies the process of taking high-quality, full-body photos of outfits, which is often challenging due to fluctuations in natural lighting. The ability to adjust filters directly from the camera preview screen enhances the convenience, making it accessible to all users.
The Natural Density (ND) filter eliminates the need for external accessories and complex editing on One UI 6.1 running devices as it allows users to achieve professional-grade photography with just a few taps.
