How to use Samsung Camera Assistant:
All you need to have is a compatible Galaxy smartphone and Good Lock app installed in it. Now open the “Good Lock” app, visit its “Life up” page, and tap the download button beside “Camera Assistant.” The following options will appear:
Auto HDR:
It is a feature that lets you capture more details in your pictures and videos in a bright and dark environment. To use it, all you need to do is just turn the toggle on.
Picture softening:
The picturing softening tools are available for customers who prefer a soft picture texture rather than the Galaxy camera’s default picture quality, which offers you pictures with detailed and sharp textures.
There are two softening tones to choose from – Medium and High. You can choose the one according to your preferences and if you are not a person who likes soft images, can simply turn it off.
Auto lens switching:
Once you turn the toggle of this feature on, your Galaxy phone will automatically pick the best lens based on zoom, lighting, and distance to the subject. This way, you can capture the best shots, no matter the time, place, or environment.
Quick tap stutter:
The quick tap shutter is a new addition to Camera Assistant that improved the users’ shooting experience. It lets you set a photo to be taken immediately the moment your finger touches the capture button, rather than the moment it realizes.
Capture speed:
This feature allows you to set the priority between image quality and capture speed. If you want to shoot quickly for capturing the moment rather than the quality you can try the “Prioritize speed” option.
Meanwhile, you can choose “Prioritize quality” for the best pictures or “Balance speed and quality” for faster capturing without sacrificing too much quality.
Video recording in Photo mode:
The name itself tells its use, it lets you record videos in photo mode. All you need is to touch and hold the shutter button to record videos after you have enabled the toggle.
Timer multi-photo options:
By default, the camera of your Galaxy phone takes one photo with the timer mode. But with this feature enables, you can shoot continuously at regular shooting intervals without having to press the shooting button again.
Camera timeout:
You can choose the camera timeout time here. Once you set it, your phone will automatically close the camera app. You can choose between – 1, 2,5, or 10 minutes options.
Dim screen while recording:
This feature will save the battery of your phone by setting the screen brightness to low when recording video for a long time.
Clean previews on HDMI displays:
Once turned on, this feature will show you the camera preview without settings or buttons on HDMI-connected displays.
