On some models, a software update will toggle the "High efficiency picture" setting ON. Go to Camera > gear icon > Picture formats >"High efficiency picture" toggle switch. This should be toggled off. I just had a Samsung rep walk me through this who will be notifying technical support of this update defect.

I have a series 20 and none of what you described is on my phone.

Thank you for the tip for converting my photos to JPG. Stupid Samsung changed my files.

If you have s20 fe go to the camera, then tap the gear icon at the top left. It will take you to settings and then scroll down to advance picture options. The next screen will have the toggle button to turn off high efficiency pictures. I'm not positive, but I think it should work for all s20 models

This doesn't work on my note 20 5G... We've apparently hit a bug.

Redo your video. You ran all those steps very quickly. You don't even give the viewer time to follow your directions.
