Samsung Galaxy Camera Zoom Lock
Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra camera boasts high-powered lenses, which zoom up to 100x (10x optical and up to 100x Digital on S Ultra). Samsung has a wide range of Galaxy devices that allow you to zoom up to 30x digitally, with Ultra (s) ranges up to 100x.
Using a camera featuring such high-resolution zoom, you can get a clear picture of the moon. However, capturing shake-free shots with high-res zoom can be a bit tricky. The angle of view narrows down, and the more you zoom in, the camera becomes more sensitive to any unsteady motion.

Through the image added below, you can see the difference between zooming in with zoom lock and without. Samsung’s Zoom lock feature helps click steady pictures with high zoom, even without a tripod. It minimizes motion from wobbly hands and helps capture stable compositions.
Thanks to Zoom lock, the image on the right is a lot steadier than the one on the left.
Supported Devices
All Samsung devices that feature 30x or higher zoom are equipped with a Zoom lock feature for shake-free photography of objects that are far away. The list of devices includes the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy S22 series, Galaxy S21 series, Galaxy Note 20 series, Galaxy S20 series, Galaxy Z Fold4, and Galaxy A72.
Zoom Lock Mode
In the Photo mode, Samsung’s Zoom lock feature doesn’t require any additional operation for activation. However, the phone should be unlocked and in a stable condition to enter this locked state. You can use the two methods zooming in above 20x, to enter zoom lock.
- Hold the phone steady for 1.5 seconds
- Touch the phone screen (the picture area).
As soon as the camera locks zoom, VDIS and OIS jointly work to keep the instability at bay. OIS and VDIS stable the motion as much as possible, given the corrective range of each feature. Both analyze the image to lock in on the angle of view.
This helps steady the picture a lot by saving captured details and hiking the correction performance. The zoom map border at the top right of the picture turning yellow indicates that the Zoom lock feature is activated. You can now hit the shutter to get a highly zoomed-in picture.

TSMC will commence 1.6nm semiconductor production in the second half of 2026. The company’s Co-Chief Operating Officer, Y.J. Mii, announced (via NikkeiAsia) in the US that the new A16 chip manufacturing technology will begin production in the second half of 2026.
South Korea’s Samsung Electronics is also working on 1.6nm process tech, called Backside Power Delivery. Taiwanese chipmaker said that 1.6nm is an area where they are competing with Intel, racing to boost the speed of AI semiconductors.
Demand from AI chip companies led TSMC to develop the new A16 chip manufacturing process faster than expected. High NA EUV, the next-generation extreme ultraviolet exposure equipment for drawing ultra-fine circuits, is unlikely to be used.
Samsung previously revealed it plans to mass produce 2nm in 2025 and 1.4nm in 2027, which is similar to TSMC. Meanwhile, Intel could start mass production of the 1.8nm process later this year, with 1.4nm expected to be announced in 2027.
