How to use?
- Open the Camera of your smartphone.

- Select Pro Mode.
- Tap on the available Camera settings and adjust them to suit your preference:
- ISO
- SPEED
- Exposure Value (EV)

ISO: Select an ISO value. It controls camera light sensitivity. Low values are for stationary or brightly-lit objects. Higher values are for fast-moving or poorly-lit objects. However, higher ISO settings can result in noise in pictures or videos.
SPEED: Adjust the shutter speed. A slow shutter speed allows more light in, so the picture or video becomes brighter. This is ideal for pictures or videos of scenery or pictures or videos taken at night. A fast shutter speed allows less light in. This is ideal for capturing pictures or videos of fast-moving subjects.
Exposure Value (EV): Change the exposure value. This determines how much light the camera’s sensor receives. For low-light situations, use a higher exposure.
FOCUS: Change the focus mode. Drag the adjustment bar to manually adjust the focus.
White Balance (WB): Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour range. You can set the color temperature.
MIC: Select which direction sound you want to record at a higher level. You can also use a USB or Bluetooth microphone by connecting it to your device (Pro video mode).
ZOOM: Adjust the zoom speed (Pro video mode).

Samsung offers a Super Steady feature to the camera app for Galaxy devices. This feature compensates for camera shake more powerfully than VDIS offered by Samsung smartphones. Here you can see in which situations you should use the Super steady feature to capture a perfect and high-resolution shake-free video through the Samsung Camera app.
During activities that cause camera shake and dynamic motion, still, pictures may be taken faster than when the VDIS option is active. Therefore, using Super Steady is effective in situations where the photographer moves a lot or in some situations where a steady shot cannot be captured due to the dynamic movement of the photographer.
However, this mode uses a large amount of correction margin to keep the camera shake extremely high. So in a still situation or in a low-light environment, the exposure time becomes longer to capture the light, and motion blur caused by camera movement is reduced.
Situations where Super Steady Feature is recommended.
- Running
- Situations where Dynamic movements occur
Situations to avoid using Super Steady
- When there is a little movement of the photographer
- When the light is dim
