The Camera Assistant is bringing more features soon, including granular controls over image sharpening, image capture speed, and timer. Samsung announced in its official forum that the upcoming version of the Camera Assistant app will have three options for picture softening: Off, Medium (50%), and High (100%). The app will also bring the option to improve the shutter tap speed. One can set the camera app to activate the shutter as soon as the finger touches the shutter button rather than when it is released. One can capture a series of burst images, a GIF, or a video by holding or sliding the on-screen shutter button.
Many users complain about slow shutter or shutter lag on Galaxy smartphones. One can improve that by using the improved Camera Assistant app. It offers three settings: Speed Priority, Balanced, and Quality Priority. Speed priority will snap a photo as fast as possible at the expense of image quality. One can turn off the Auto HDR option to further improve shutter lag.
Samsung is also adding more options for the timer function via the Camera Assistant app. One now get options to shoot an image every 1 second, 1.5 seconds, 2 seconds, 2.5 seconds, and 3 seconds. Sometimes, the phone can heat up when using the camera continuously, and that’s due to high screen brightness and heavy processing. Users can help the phone be cool by choosing the screen to dim down with the Camera Assistant app. One can select it for video recording that’s longer than 1 minute (or 10 minutes).
