That isnt the cam firmware...

Cam firmware and ISP versions can be checked by typing:

*#34971539# and then Phone/CAM FW Ver Check for Cam firmware version and "ISP Ver Check" for ISP version

So far the Firmware version found are:

GDFD21

GDFE01

ZDFE02

GDFD06

It's been usually noticed that cameras with GDFE01 take good pictures without noise!!

PS: dont press any other buttons on the screen unless u know wat u doing...

Camera takes worse night/low-light pics than S2!?....

nd yes the list of the versions are the ones that were came across.. u r right...may be som1 wrongly reported it as the cam f/w...so i listed it...
[Galaxy S III General] stevierayvaughan:
Can someone help with some of the settings? I am an utter noob to modern cameras (S3 is my first new phone in 3 years, hehe), so I don't understand what I should do with:

ISO

Metering

Focus Mode

Which situations are best to use the Flash?

Also, for Resolution, what is appropriate? I have it at the highest right now-- 3264x2448-- but should I lower it? I don't understand if this means that the largest is the best quality so I should leave it there, or?

Appreciate any help, again the camera area is a foreign language to me ;)

[Galaxy S III General] SkillfulMmd:
Not an amazing picture but damn the size of the crisp :)
[Galaxy S III General] pannocchia76:
Completely night without natural light
[Galaxy S III General] c0brabg:
ISO is basically picture sharpness. Let's say it's sunny outside iso 200 would do fine but for instance if we are taking pictures at night 200 would be way too low not only would we have problems catching anything but it will for sure get blurry. The higher the ISO the badder quality but the image sensor becomes more sensitive hence more light comes. There are also facts about shutter speed and exposure but you'd better google that if you want more info. Flash is to be used only when needed, on phones it sucks when you buy a DSLR you can try a pro flash and see what I mean. The pathway of the flash is not controlled at all on phones it only goes straight hence not being very useful.

Also about quality. Resolution doesn't always mean better quality. Some pump up megapixels but literally they could suck five times more than those with less megapixels. But on phones normally the bigger the better. Though remember phones are one thing cameras are another. A phone would never get as close to camera in terms of quality but what the heck you can make great pictures with pretty much anything else.

P.S. I don't really know the other things you mentioned, I mean I have heard of them but don't have the phone to see what they actually mean.

[Galaxy S III General] irishbogman:
Quick sunset shot at lowest resolution just now
[Galaxy S III General] Guest69:
Hi, as the previous answer said, iso relates to film speed - when cameras used to use film it related to how fast the chemicals on the film roll react to the light exposed when the shutter opens. The higher the number, the faster the film. However, as stated earlier, setting your film speed higher to cope with lower light levels produces "noise" in the picture, making it look grainy. The same principles apply to digital cameras, the higher the iso, the faster the sensor reads the light.

I hope I'm not boring you!

The focus mode can switch between auto-focus: the camera will focus on whatever is in the small square on the viewfinder, you can touch the screen anywhere to get the camera to focus on any object anywhere in the frame. This is the best mode for most pics.

Macro: for close up pics (say less than a foot away), the s3 is excellent at this even with the flash on, lastly

Face mode: the camera detects faces in the frame and focuses on these.

Resolution: get it on top whack, why buy a sports car & never take it over 30mph?!

Metering: this tells the camera where to take it's light readings from, center weighted means it scans the whole frame but is biased towards the center, spot metering reads only from the center of the frame, matrix will assess the whole frame and make an educated guess on what your main subject is and take it's readings biased towards this.

I hope this helps.

[Galaxy S III General] stevierayvaughan:
What's HDR? Every time I take a picture with it I wind up with two pics, is it for me to choose which I prefer to keep?
[Galaxy S III General] Beards:
HDR looks at the light it sees through the lens and will raise it in the low regions and lower it in the higher regions. As such you then end up with a more balanced shot.

What the SGS3 does when you select HDR is take this shot AND also captures a plain basic shot as well for you to compare the results.

You then either keep both or delete the one you do not like.

I know nothing about photography and the camera is the feature of a phone I have used the least and care about the least on my past smartphones the htc desire (this had a really...really crap camera) and galaxy s2. I care more about the front camera to use as a mirror (as the s3's gorilla glass 2 seems less reflective than the first gen in my s2) but I have to say that I am so impressed with this camera. Here are a few shots I have taken :) I just can't believe the detail, if you zoom right in on the phone you can see the individual hairs on the stem of the plants. I't is just so cool :)
[Galaxy S III General] jongilluley:
Just a few of my pics..... All HDR...

Oh an HDR is the process of taking a number of images with different bracketing of exposure. The images are then merged giving a depth of lights and darks that are more defined than a standard single image..

No, it's not necessary when you taking close ups.

When you shoot from distance you must have relatively
