[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Maxazarov19:
Greetings friends!

The day has come when I am pleased to announce the release of a major config - MAZAR X8 for S22u, S23u, S24u for AGC9.2V10

There are a lot of changes, in particular, the X8 is a little different compared to the style of the previous work. I want to say right away that this is the last config for S22u due to its completely different operation (because the settings that I set for s23u/24u do not work as often as on s22u, so I decided to do it this way. But perhaps some changes then I will do it)

The config is usually presented in Sharp, Medium and Soft versions (degrees of sharpness)

Changes, modifications and improvements regarding X6-X7 configs:

1) The sharpness logic has been COMPLETELY redesigned.

In the whole sharpening radius mood, the parameters of the new sharp radius have been introduced, and the parameters of sharp B have also been changed. Now the photos are no longer the only soapy ones - you will clearly have enough for the eyes, especially in the Sharp version. Try it

2) the noise reduction on all modules and tiles has been changed, based on changes in sharpness. It is most tuned to smooth/detailed styles. In smooth tiles, the noise reduction is soft, there is not much noise, unlike details, where the emphasis is on detailing. Please consider that there is no need to shoot for smoothness, compare with other configs and say that it is acceptable in some conditions to have less detail. If you really need it - that is, DETAILED tiles!! Keep in mind.

3) The contrast parameters have been changed - the photos have become a little more contrasty, again due to the new sharpness in the photo. Change the Contrast Black setting slightly

4)NEW! Added ULTRA LDR mode 📸 🌄 - this mode replaces the Bright tile that was previously in previous configs. You can read the essence of the mode in the description of the modes!!!

5) NEW! ZOOM mode transforms the HDRE algorithm and merge3 merging - now it will give you better detail results, HDR works better when lighting deteriorates. The mode immediately turns on at 10x for S24u and 20x for S23u/22u. More details in the description of modes

6) SPORT mode has also been improved - shutter speed is limited to 1/300, the number of frames is also optimized for it. Updated its noise reduction settings a bit. SPORT works best on 1x. Movements also began to work out better

7) improved white balance performance - it has become more profitable due to an increase in its coefficient (higher quality)

8) updated post-processing options for better photo processing.

9) work with movements at 1x has been improved on both LDR and HDR tiles thanks to the logic of the noise model

10) noise models on the body lenses have changed to Xiaomi Mi14u for lower chances of artifacts

11) many different changes and improvements aimed at improving photo quality and stability during processing!

Shooting modes and their uses

Basic modes -

These are SMOOTH/DETAIL LDR and HDR modes.

1. SMOOTH LDR 📸 - universal shooting mode. It has a soft style, little noise, and when lighting deteriorates, it maintains a balance between detail and noise. But the worse the light, the less detail (texture) it retains. A mode for lovers of not particularly noisy photographs.

2. DETAIL LDR 📸 🧱 - also a universal mode, but with a different processing style. Has MORE detail than Detail, but also has more noise when lighting gets worse. The difference in detail during the day is almost unnoticeable, but when the light drops you will feel it. The mode also launches with an increase in resolution to 24 MP.

3. ULTRA LDR 📸 🌄- This is the same smooth LDR, but has the highest dynamic range, that is, it pulls out shadows better, about the same as is possible for the zsl mode. Although if you need good HDR, I recommend HDR tiles

4. SMOOTH HDR 🌅 - a similar universal mode as LDR, but has a higher dynamic range. It copes better with glare and overexposure in photographs. Also suitable for evening/night scenarios. But for photographs with movement, the mode is not very suitable, unlike LDR.

The processing style is similar to SMOOTH LDR (read the description of the SMOOTH LDR mode)

5. DETAIL HDR 🌅 🧱 - a similar mode for its intended purpose with SMOOTH HDR

The processing style is similar to DETAIL LDR (read the description of the DETAIL LDR mode).

6.NIGHT HDR 🌉 🌃 - essentially night mode, in the dark it is the lightest of all HDR (except ASTRO), has a shutter speed of up to 1/7, more frames in stitching and higher iso. In night scenarios it is better to use it! In terms of style and noise, it is equal to SMOOTH HDR (that is, emphasis on a clean picture).

7. SPORT ⛹️ - mode suitable for dynamic objects. Opens in NS! Shutter speed is limited to 1/300. As the light deteriorates, the quality drops noticeably! This mode is best used in good lighting.

8. ULTRA HDR 🌄 - a mode that has the HIGHEST HDR and glare control among all other HDR modes. It is in addition to the main HDR (SMOOTH and DETAIL). This is convenient when it is important that there is virtually no glare! Sunsets, changing light, evening light sources - all this is his element. But! Gcam has one drawback - Shasta works in shadows with merge3 gluing. Accordingly, this mode in some conditions may produce artifacts from the operation of Shasta, so this mode is not the main one. Keep in mind! This is the price for the highest HDR

9. ASTRO 🌠 - essentially a dual-purpose mode (2 in 1). Mainly used for astrophotography. To do this, it is better to put the phone on a tripod, press the astro button in the viewfinder, after which stars will appear on the shutter button (ASTRO is activated), then press the shutter button and wait for the photo to be ready. taken. There is a lot of time, and only you can decide when to stop filming!

The second purpose of the ASTRO mode is shooting in pitch darkness, when even MAX HDR cannot cope. To use ASTRO as an extreme night mode, you do not need to turn on the button, but simply shoot in NS and that’s it, and it is advisable not to move the phone, because there is a high probability of blur.

10) ZOOM 🔭 - this mode is ONLY available on a 10x zoom lens (for s23u and 5x for S24u) and is used for maximum magnification. Works in HDRE(NS)

How to use ZOOM:

1) Scaling immediately starts at 10x for s24u and 20x for s23u.

2) Keep in mind that the mode starts in Night sight (HDRE) mode for maximum clarity and high HDR.

All the nuances of shooting remain unchanged relative to previous configs, I can only say that be sure to wait until the end of processing of HDR frames (on HDR tiles). Otherwise there will be missing frames! Configs are configured for maximum results.

Summary

This config was very difficult for me, but I still think it will please you overall. Yes, there are many modes. But for example, I defined a universal one for myself - SMOOTH HDR. Because it copes well with HDR and delivers noticeably better results compared to LDR modes. But that's up to you to decide. There are many options for contention here. For now, I'm taking a long break until the new Google camera comes out. I got the most out of the 9.2 V10.

Thanks everyone and good luck with the photos!

I also thank everyone who helped and gave ideas in testing the config! Thank you

all ! Without you, nothing would have happened.
