One UI 4.0 Tip: How to use Scene optimizer on Samsung devices?

Published

on

Samsung is developing the One UI 4 beta program for its several Galaxy devices. Up to now, the company has released its most anticipated One UI 4 Beta 3 for Galaxy S21 series smartphone users in South Korea, which allows users to try out One UI 4’s upgraded features ahead of its official release.

The new One UI 4 comes with a collection of features that provide a more personalized mobile experience to the consumers. Samsung’s One UI user interface brings a unified mobile experience to Galaxy smartphones through simplified and streamlined interactions and a clean and elegant design.

To be mentioned, the basic Camera UI gets a simpler, clearer layout in the Android 12 update, with a preview that shows only the information you need. The scene optimizer button will only appear in the photo mode when there is insufficient light or when you are scanning a document.

What is Scene optimizer?

Scene Optimizer is a feature first introduced on the Galaxy S9’s intelligent camera that automatically detects what’s in the frame and adjusts accordingly to help you get beautiful photos. It chooses from 32 modes to adjust exposure, contrast, white balance, and more.

How to use it?

  1. Go to the Camera app
  2. Swipe to Photo
  3. Then, tap Scene optimizer.

NOTE:

The Scene optimizer is only available when using the rear camera. The Scene optimizer icon will change automatically based on what the camera detects, such as when taking nature photos or when taking photos in a dark setting.
