Modern Galaxy smartphones have transformed mobile photography. If you’ve wondered how to take better photos, the answer isn’t just buying a new phone — it’s learning to use the advanced tools Samsung builds into its cameras. With devices like the Galaxy S25 Ultra, Galaxy Z Fold7, and Galaxy Z Flip7, you can shoot magazine-worthy photos and cinematic video right from your pocket.
This in-depth guide explains how to take better photos on Samsung: understanding camera modes, using Expert RAW, mastering composition, and enhancing your shots with built-in AI. Every tip applies to Galaxy models sold officially at MDS Mobile UAE.
Which Samsung Galaxy Phone’s Camera Is Right for You?
Choosing the right phone makes a difference:
-
Galaxy S25 Ultra — Samsung’s photography flagship with a 200MP wide camera, new AI ProVisual engine for low light, and 100× Space Zoom.
-
Galaxy Z Fold7 — Combines a 200MP main sensor with a huge inner screen that’s perfect for framing and editing.
-
Galaxy Z Flip7 & Flip7 FE — Stylish, pocketable, and ideal for creators with FlexCam for hands-free selfies and vlogging angles.
All these devices — plus accessories like Galaxy Buds3 Pro and Galaxy Watch8 — are available at MDS Mobile UAE with UAE warranty and support.
How to Use Samsung Camera Modes for Stunning Photos
Pro Mode — Complete Manual Control
Use Pro Mode to adjust ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and manual focus. Lower ISO (50–200) keeps shots clean in daylight; slow shutter (1/5–1/10s) on a tripod gives night light trails.
Night Mode / Nightography — Better Low-Light Shots
Samsung’s Nightography uses multi-frame AI to brighten dark scenes and reduce noise. Perfect for night streets, indoor concerts, or moody cafés.
Portrait Mode — Professional Background Blur
Portrait Mode gives DSLR-like bokeh and lets you adjust blur intensity afterward (especially on the S25 Ultra and Z Fold7).
High-Resolution Mode — Extreme Detail
Switch to 200MP mode on the S25 Ultra or Fold7 for landscapes and prints. Expect very large file sizes and use bright light for best results.
Single Take — One Tap, Many Options
When you can’t decide, Single Take captures photos, short videos, boomerangs, and best-shot suggestions in one press.
Super Steady Video — Smooth Action Clips
For walking vlogs or sports, toggle Super Steady to get gimbal-like stabilization.
How to Use Expert RAW for Professional-Grade Photos
Download Expert RAW from the Galaxy Store for professional-grade files:
-
Shoots JPEG + 16-bit RAW simultaneously.
-
Adds long exposure, astrophotography, and full manual controls.
-
Ideal for editing later in Lightroom or Photoshop.
Pro tip: For night skies, mount your phone on a tripod, open Expert RAW, switch to astrophotography, and use the Watch8 as a remote shutter.
