I'm here to check on the settings as I just got mine today! Valentine's Day gift from my partner 🥰🙏

Just 2 big issues:
ExpertRAW is broken and creates artefacts in lowlight images
ProMode DNG is totally messed up and has 0 capacity for shadow and highlight recovery (while a dng taken with Motioncam is fine).

Loved the video. Never used a Samsung phone and hated the older Samsung UI. But this seems greatly improved. Love your perspective on the camera app.

The post processing of the 50 and 200 mp are destroyng the phots even with all the settings (optmization) OFF. That is a BIG let down.

Im not sure if youve noticed or mentioned it before but compared to the s23 series the oversharpening of the image has been slightly reduced, you might still want to add the medium sharpening toggle depending upon your taste but its a nice step in the right direction for the processing. I also hope you'll be able to get a review unit of some of the BBK owned phone brands as well as Xiaomi in the future but nonetheless i look forward to your future content. Keep up the great work 👍

Please do a video for the Video settings!

[stampnurse]

I'm a beginner and your video helped me get started with my S24. I'll probably have to come back and listen again. 😊 And yes, I would love help with settings for video recording, too.

You get the true RAW only in the pro mode of the native app. The expert raw app gives you an edited RAW

[jonclarke]

Brilliant video - thank you. I am still trying to work out the raw pro as I want to learn more - great stuff, thanks

Question, that softening option in Assistant, is it applying post-shot or actually tweaking the main programming?

[zankiohex]

I don't know if you or anyone else can answer this, but... I've got an S24+ and I've taken three identical shots of different things in 12mp and 50mp. All in HEIC. The 50mp not only look better, but are of SMALLER file size. How is this possible? They are identical photos taken within a second, but without fail the 50mp ones are always smaller. Sure it's a small sample size, but how could 50mp photos of the same thing with MORE detail be so much smaller than 12mp ones? Makes me feel like there's no point to even going with 12mp.

It would be nice if you did an overview/review of samsungs in-built editing software.

Really big fan of your hard work...keep it goin👊

[BarmanClips]

I'm having the issue that in dark environments it turns the picture as if it was taken at day. I'm trying to get like a good night shot without the sky turning bright

[neilmackey]

Really nicely done video, Tom...appreciate your time, expertise and presentation style!

I'm (still) using a S22U with One UI 6.0...just can't justify the move up to a S24U...yet. Hoping that 6.1 will bring out some additional features when it rolls out later this year.

In your setting in Camera Assistant, for "auto lens switching" (which you had set to off, because you're a pro!)...for novice/intermediate shooters, would you recommend on or off?

Finally, based on your knowledge and presentation style, I bet you could do a bang up job with a "Shooting in Expert RAW" tutorial...any chance of that? 🤔😉

Cheers!

Awesome guide mate! We would surely appreciate a video guide too 😁

[Mikker]

when i take the pictures they look amazing! then i go to the gallery and it is processing, and boom - the image is ruined.
Blurry and weird color. I tried turning off the processing and other stuff. Nothing works

[NaiveBanana]

so are you seriously saying that, as a professional photographer, you can achieve MASSIVE potential with the s24U?
How many photos did you open on a larger screen? How many times did you zoom in? You really didn't see the MASSIVE amount of noise that these lens produce?

[chromab]

I have but one question about this camera...do I have any control over the aperture?

Because I see the F number on the side, but I don't seem to be able to change it.

GREAT Video ... what is your suggestion about the BEST audio settings for recording a video with music in it.
