Finally a s20/ultra in the hands of someone who knows how to utilize it to its full potential. So funny how almost all the other reviewers compare smartphone cameras only based on the jpeg point and shoot images they take. Go into pro mode and really test the lenses/camera before writing/making a review.

Wow, I can't believe I forgot the metering modes! MY bad you guys...here's a quick explanation:
Center weighted: This is where the camera only meters the light from the center and immediate surrounding area of the image. Better for back-lit subjects like portraits with the sun behind them.
Matrix metering: This is the most common and usually default. It's where the camera meters off the light from the entire image.
Spot metering: This is where the camera only evaluates a small spot of light, wherever you select it, and ignores the rest of the image. this is good for really small subjects in very back-lit conditions.
Also, let me know if you want an actual video on just metering modes and if I get enough interest I'll make one.

I come from a Huawei P9 plus that gave me a great deal of satisfaction but I just moved on to a Galaxy Note 20. Thank you, thank you, thank you...exactly what I was looking for in a tutorial for the Note camera. There are times when you need to take a quick shot, but there are many times when I want a posed, carefully constructed photo and the pro mode allows me to do it. Of course, a mirrorless Sony does so much more, but when you're taking a walk with your dog and you by chance come upon something worth snapping, the mirrorless isn't practical for me or just impossible to always have around. The Galaxy is my substitute for those times when I don't have a mirrorless with me. Again, thank you.

Brent, you have a very natural and genuine way of teaching photography. It makes your videos so enjoyable to watch. Thanks for all the Mobile photography videos! I am currently using S20 Ultra, so love these videos.

I just got my SN20U and watching your video made me feel so excited for my phone ❤

[ArielCruzPizarro]

Brent!! Really thank you, I bought this phone, I knew it had a good camera but I didn't know it had this mode (not that there is a detailed instruction manual on the phone either). Really thank you, thank you! Greetings from Chile!

[deeslinks]

Yep. Some times the voice capture does not work. Great stuff man. Just what I needed. I'm subbing to learn more from you. Easy to follow guide. Nice voice and not overly excited! Thank you for sharing 👍😊🤝🙏

[NJHeartHeart]

Thanks for the video! Learned how to control focus for those nature closeups which was my purpose for looking vids up, and learned something unexpected and sooo useful.. "Capture" voice mode! With some ongoing thumb function issues, this will save me a lot of over-use of my thumbs!!
