In the Galaxy S26 Series, we would like to introduce to you the newly added Auto Mode and the customizable shutter sound in Motion Photo.
1. Motion Photo ‘Auto Mode’ that Captures Only the Moments You Need
Worried about storage space to capture every moment on video, or that a moment is too special to only record as still photographs? Now, Motion Photo's Auto Mode analyzes your shooting environment and captures motion photos only when necessary. It automatically selects and saves vivid videos for moments of movement, and clean photos for still moments.
(※ For more information on various filming, viewing, and editing experience of motion photos, please refer to the Galaxy S25 Motion Photo article.)
Motion Photo's Auto mode works as follows:
1. When capturing still scenes, such as landscapes or objects: Saves only the photo (Motion Photo Off)
2. When capturing moving scenes: Saves both the photo and a 3-second Motion Photo video (Motion Photo On)
※ However, images of human faces and pets are saved as Motion Photos even if they are motionless.
To set Auto mode, click the third icon at the top of the camera app screen.
Clicking this icon will display three Motion Photo icons in sequence. Clicking the middle icon will set Auto mode. (The icons, from left to right, are Motion Photo Off, Auto Mode, and Motion Photo On.)
Now, capture your special moments with the newly added Auto mode. Auto mode records your precious memories intelligently, helping you manage your storage space more efficiently.
2. Customize the shutter sound to your liking
You can now fine-tune the motion photo shutter sound to suit your personal preferences. Previously, shutter sound options were only available in the Camera Assistant app, but now you can change them directly from the camera's settings, making it more accessible. You can also choose the type of shutter sound produced when taking motion photos. Previously, only the video recording end sound was provided for motion photos, but now you can choose between the standard photo recording sound or the video recording end sound.
Tip: Try this!
- When you're concerned about storage space: Turn on "Auto Mode" to capture and save motion photos of vivid moments of your kids running around, but only clear, still photos for moments of stillness.
- When you want to change the shutter sound: Set your preferred shutter sound in the camera settings for a more natural experience.
