[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Maxazarov19:
Greetings, friends!

I am releasing a new version of the config for AGC9.1v14 - MAZAR EXTENDED V2 for S23u and S24u.

The update is a largely modified and improved version of the first EXTENDED. By tradition, the config is presented with 3 degrees of sharpness. (I recommend Medium).

Changes and processing:

1) The most important change is the elimination of point artifacts in SHASTA. The issue was resolved by disabling the Suppress Hot Pixels option. Now Shasta with merge3(Spatial RGB) works much more stable

2) Further development of detail on all models and modes

3) HDR (NS) modes also added more detail and elaboration of details relative to the previous config (I always gradually come to this, because turning the noise reduction to zero is not a difficult task, but adding balance is always a difficult task).

4) slightly redesigned Polysharp (larping radius)

5) ZOOM ZSL has been redesigned - the upscaling algorithm for this mode has been improved, as well as the number of artifacts during upscaling has been reduced. And as a plus, the detail of this mode has been increased

6) work on color rendering also continued relative to the previous config. As far as possible, I adjusted the colors to different models based on tests (comrades from the forum and group helped).

7) the contrast of pictures has increased slightly (especially in Vibrant modes)

8) processing and optimization of ZSL modes.

The shutter lag has been reduced as much as possible, and the processing of the last frame has been optimized (it is taken as the main one to minimize the lag). I also increased the overall frame buffer for ZSL (processing took a little longer, but all for the sake of the result).

9) HDR modes also slightly increased the number of frames

10) Sport NS mode is also slightly modified in this config

11) White balance has become even more accurate thanks to some edits in the DEV parameters, as well as heat correction. I can’t make it 100% accurate, but I did something in between so that there is some balance of warmth (between cold and warm shades).

12) the general design of shooting icons (modes) has been slightly improved. The video module label has also become clearer

13) the light/shadow parameters have been slightly improved for more natural photos (without OVER-LIGHTENING, the editor will help if suddenly gcam makes it darker in some situations, or I have Bright mode for this!)

14) MAX HDR NS increased in maximum shutter speed - up to 1/8. The remaining NS modes at 10x (5x on S24u) reached 1/10 (was 1/11).

15) various fixes for inconsistencies in settings in various shooting modes

16) general optimization of the stability of the config

17) artifacts on the front camera have been fixed in all modes, and its overall work with details has been improved

18) fixed black level for 0.6x (there were green artifacts)

Shooting modes and their descriptions (tiles):

1) MAIN ZSL 📸 - universal photo mode. Suitable for many scenarios. But in the dark it is better to use some of their NS modes (more on this later)

The mode starts in ZSL (the photo is taken immediately after releasing the shutter, like all modes marked ZSL, that is, images are taken from the buffer in advance and then stitched together into a single photo).

2) VIBRANT ZSL 🎨 🌹- essentially the same as MAIN ZSL, but has richer colors and slightly higher contrast. The mode is well suited for shooting food, some colored objects to emphasize color, etc.

3) Bright ZSL ☀️ - another and final mode in ZSL. Same as MAIN ZSL, but brighter in shadows. You can use it on a bright sunny day if MAIN ZSL seems not bright enough for you

4) HDR NS 🌅 🌃 - a fairly universal mode. It has a wider dynamic range than MAIN ZSL, and is also suitable for darker scenarios like night mode. Since the mode starts in NS (Night Sight), unlike ZSL, the frames are stitched together after pressing the shutter button. The mode is very suitable for static objects, but not so much for moving objects. Therefore, MAIN ZSL behaves more confidently in this regard

5) VIBRANT NS 🎨 🌅 - the same as HDR NS, but has more saturated colors and slightly higher contrast. Also use by analogy with the VIBRANT ZSL mode if you want a more colorful picture.

6) MAX HDR NS 🌅 🌉 - a more advanced analogue of HDR NS. Its difference from HDR NS is that it is even lighter in the dark (higher iso), there are more frames in stitching (41) and a slightly longer shutter speed (1/8), so it is ideal for night scenarios. But due to the large number of frames, unlike HDR NS, image processing takes longer, so you need to wait until the end of processing before taking the next frame. In HDR NS you can click frames without waiting for the end of processing.

7) SPORT NS ⛹️ - mode designed for fast-moving objects (for movement).

It only works in NS (it runs in it). Shutter speed is limited to 1/160. During the day it is even shorter. I recommend using it in sufficient lighting! If the light deteriorates, do not expect good results - after all, a short shutter speed makes itself felt

8) DARK HDR NS 🌇 - the same as HDR NS, but it is darker in exposure and shadows - suitable for atmospheric evening photos with signs, for example. Use it if it seems that HDR NS gave a bright picture at night and you want to tone down the excess lightness. That is, the regime is given for variety

9) ASTRO NS 🌠 - essentially a dual-purpose mode . Used primarily for astro photography. 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 has been activated), then press the shutter button and wait until the photo is taken. The time is very long and you decide when to stop filming!

The second purpose of the ASTRO NS mode is shooting in pitch darkness, when even MAX HDR NS will not 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, while it is advisable not to move the phone, because the likelihood of blurring is high.

10) ZOOM ZSL 🔍 - this mode is available ONLY on a 10x lens and is used for maximum zoom.

Summary

This update turned out in general the way I intended. I don’t claim to be true, but I see it as I see it. 9.1v14 is now very stable and rich in settings. 9.2 I think it will be like this in the summer, not before.

I thank everyone who took part in testing this work. Happy photography!
