Capture Sunset and Sunrise with Samsung One UI 4.1 camera
- Check what time the sun rises or sets
When you want to take professional-looking photographs, you must know what time the sunrise or sunset is.
- Pick a stunning location
Find and explore some places in advance. Beautiful colors are only for a few minutes.
- Clouds can lift the eventual result
You might think that clear skies are best for sunset photography, but the best sunrise and sunset images tend to have some clouds. A cloudless sky can make a picture boring. Whereas, the clouds reflect the astonishing colors of the rising or setting sun.
- Stay after the sun sets and come before sunrise
Do not leave immediately after sunset, this is the time where the magic happens! Both Blue Hour and Golden Hour have a lot to offer to smartphone photographers.
- Shoot in RAW in Manual Mode
RAW images are easily manipulated in post-processing in Lightroom, Snapseed, or Photoshop. This makes it easy to edit the image. The file contains brightness, color, and contrast information, giving you ultimate creative freedom.
- Clean the camera lens
Make sure there is no fingerprint or grease on the lens of your smartphone. They can ruin your photos and are the number one reason for unsharp photos.
- Bring a tripod and remote shutter
when you aim to take perfect shots, you should make sure that your camera remains stable, either by using a tripod or by leaning your phone on a fixed object.
- Use an ND filter
Use a Neutral Density (ND) filter. It allows you to use a longer shutter speed and create smooth-looking seas, streams, and lakes.
- Pick an interesting foreground or background
Make sure you pick an interesting foreground or background, so your image has more depth and is well balanced.
- Adjust brightness
Most smartphone camera apps have a manual mode to adjust shutter speed, white balance, ISO values, and brightness. Use the slider to brighten or darken the image.
- Choose the correct white balance
When the warm colors of the sunrise or sunset did not come across well in your photographs, change the white balance to ‘cloudy‘ or pick a higher Kelvin number.
- Use landscape mode and wide-angle lens
Sunrise and sunset images usually work best in landscape mode with a wide-angle lens.
- Pay attention to lens flare
When you have the sun directly in the photo, a lens flare can occur. These are colored spheres, dots, or rainbows that appear in the picture.
- Take many images with different settings
Try taking sunrise and sunset pictures with different settings, such as longer shutter speeds, different white balance, and ISO values, to see what works best.
- Zoom with your feet
Your smartphone’s camera zoom-in is nothing more than a digital zoom that crops the original image size. So walk closer to the subject and take your pictures.
- Shoot towards and away from the sun
Don’t just photograph the sun. You can get some great colors and atmosphere when shooting away from the sun.
- Edit your images
The most important part of editing sunset and sunrise photography begins with shooting RAW images. This setting will guarantee that none of the lighting, contrast and color information will be lost during the editing process, and you can adjust anything you need.

Go back to stability: Downgrading from One UI 7 Beta to stable One UI 6.1 on Galaxy S24 in the US

The One UI 7 beta program specifically rolled out for the Samsung Galaxy S24 series in the US, promised early access to new features and improvements. However, beta software often comes with some bugs, glitches, and performance issues which can lead to frustration.
Trying new software might seem fun initially, but it can get old fast if it makes your phone less reliable. Since we don’t know when One UI 7 will be stable, returning to One UI 6.1 is a smart choice for many.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to downgrade your Galaxy S24 from One UI 7 Beta back to One UI 6.1:
1. Backup Your Data:
- Before you start, ensure all your data is backed up. Use the Samsung Smart Switch on both your phone and a computer to save your photos, contacts, apps, and settings.
- Connect your phone to the computer via USB, open Smart Switch, and select ‘Backup’.
2. Withdraw from the Beta Program:
- Open the Samsung Members app on your phone.
- Look for the One UI Beta Program status in the settings or at the top of the app.
- Select “Withdraw” and follow the prompts. This step ensures you won’t receive further beta updates.
3. Use Smart Switch to Downgrade:
- After withdrawing from the beta, go back to Smart Switch on your computer.
- With your phone still connected, you should now see a “Downgrade” option. Click on it.
- Confirm the downgrade process by accepting the terms and conditions. Smart Switch will then download and install the stable One UI 6.1 firmware.
4. Reset Your Phone:
Note that this process will perform a factory reset. Once the downgrade is complete, your phone will reboot into recovery mode where you will need to select ‘Wipe data/factory reset‘ to finalize the process.
5. Restore Your Data:
After the reset, use Smart Switch again to restore your backed-up data to your phone.
Important:
This method is for Galaxy S24 users who enrolled in the beta via the Samsung Members app. If you manually flashed the beta (using methods like Odin), you might need to flash back to One UI 6.1 using the same tool.
Why go back to the stable version?
Going back to One UI 6.1 ensures you have a more reliable and smoother experience with your phone until Samsung rolls out the stable One UI 7 version. It is about returning to a version where everything just works fine, avoiding any bugs from beta software.
