Professional Photography with Galaxy Expert RAW App

[Moderator_1]

Expert RAW is an innovative camera app for Samsung Galaxy that provides RAW files that can be professionally filmed and edited later so that you can take high-quality, HDR (High Dynamic Range) photos and edit them in more detail.

Please note:

• The Expert RAW app can be downloaded from the Galaxy Store.
• This feature is available on Galaxy S20 or later models.
• Astrophotography and multiple exposure modes are supported on S23 series, S22 series (T OS) devices.

When shooting with Expert RAW, both JPEG files and RAW (Linear DNG 16-bit) files are saved. Unlike JPEG, which compresses photos to save file size, RAW files retain the original uncompressed image data from the camera sensor, so you can edit the result in more detail in the post-editing app.

In addition, it is possible to shoot more professionally by taking direct control of the camera’s settings, such as ISO, shutter speed, white balance, exposure, and focus. 

Please note: When shooting more than 10 shots in succession, the shooting interval may be longer due to high-resolution image processing.

Also, activating the ‘Special photo options’ feature provides a labs function in the Expert RAW app of the S23 and S22 (T OS) to capture astrophotography and the ability to shoot multiple exposures.

Please note: Special photo options are only activated when set to 12MP resolution.
