[Galaxy S 4 General] BoneXDA:
Share your Galaxy S4 photos and videos here - now with PocketNow Camera guide!

This thread is dedicated to user photos, videos and discussion, ImageBam and DropBox is recommended for full-size photo sharing. I also gathered a bunch of samples made by reviewers and divided those into two categories, Exynos 5 Octa (I9500, I9502, SHV-E300S) and Snapdragon 600 (I9505, SPH-L720 etc.) as there are minor differences such as a little more detail and less saturation on the Exnos 5 version.

- use Sport Mode or higher ISO to capture fast motion

- tap on focus and release upon the right moment for fast shutter response

- use Night Mode in dark for brighter results (needs steady hands)

- take multiple images or use burst mode and choose the best result later

- set volume keys for comfortable zooming

- hold the phone with two hands for steady shots, index fingers on top left and right, thumbs on bottom (left on volume keys), middle fingers parallel on the sides (landscape)

- hold the phone steady after shutter sound for a few seconds to make sure there is no shake upon capture

- use voice command function so there is no shake coming from tap

- use rich tone (HDR) mode when there's big brightness difference in the foreground and background or when the sky burns out

- do NOT use HDR when you want to capture high contrast images or when the sky is not burnt out, your result will be washed out

- use flash in daylight when there's strong light behind people

- geotag your photos to save location (drains battery)

- please, for the love of god, don't shoot videos in portrait mode
