A few days back, Samsung released the September 2022 security patch update to the Galaxy Note 20 series devices among others. The changelog didn’t specify what changes the Galaxy Note 20 update brings, but it includes a notable feature (Telephoto activated in Pro mode) for an advanced photography experience.
The Korean community’s camera department in charge already confirmed that the Expert RAW camera app will be available for the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra this month. Ahead of the app’s support, Samsung enabled the functionality that lets Galaxy Note 20 Ultra users shoot with the Telephoto sensor in Pro mode.
Pro mode is a dedicated section of the Samsung Camera app, which allows you to capture moments using a handful of settings such as exposure, ISO, shutter speed, focus and white balance. So far, the Pro mode only supported the primary camera and ultrawide camera on the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
With September 2022 update, seems like, Samsung silently added the ability in the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra to support Telephoto lens as well in Pro mode. Notably, the camera in charge also confirmed the existence of the feature and said that it appeared because the Note 20 Ultra is readying for the Expert RAW.
The Galaxy Note 20 is the last Note flagship lineup released by Samsung in 2020. The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra comes with a massive 108MP primary (wide) camera, which is capable of PDAF, Laser autofocus, and optical image stabilization, plus a 12MP ultra-wide shooter.
Moreover, it uses a 12MP periscope telephoto sensor, providing you with 5x optical zoom, 50x hybrid zoom alongside PDAF, and optical image stabilization. With the September 2022 update, you will be able to use the Telephoto camera in Pro mode for even more advanced image-capturing experiences.
