Are the Galaxy S23 Ultra's moon photos FAKE?

You can just turn off scene optimizer you don't want it to do that (it takes like 5 seconds to turn it off btw). Like I get what people are saying but you are taking a photo of the moon out of a phone with very minimal stabelization, to get that kind of quality you would need some kind of tripod with a longer exposure.

I get people that got annoyed I also am, but at the end of the day it still retains the color and the phase which is the reason I am taking a photo of the moon in the first place so I will leave it on.

If a software is replacing my actual shot with somebody else’s photo, then it’s ‘faking’ my actual shot. Basically, the camera did not take that shot.

Yes. Getting a detailed "blurred" image would have been more acceptable. Not "fabricating" details out of thin air.

I take photos of space using my phone on my telescope. This is how real astrophotography works.

The what effect that you get in portrait mode?

[GoldenMarky]

It is as simple as that, yes they are faking it

[AboveInShadow]

Actually it's simple, since the sensor didn't capture all that detail it's faking it.

Some say he looked like a smudge on a lens

If they do fake it what's the problem?

Ok was that the man on the moon I just saw?

[josepheridu]

Ok, we are getting crazy, Just download a pic of the moon. Is this real life? Are we really OK with this stupidity?

[raycon]

if there are clouds partially blocking the moon, the clouds won't appear in the photo, so no, it's not my photo. Everybody bashed Huawei but now every Samsung fanboy is trying to explain why Samsung's case is different. It's not

It's fake guys, I own s22 ultra I took a photo of almost full moon and get full moon photo. The full moon was like 3 days ahead but my phone can take the photo of future moon.

Let’s change a diff perspective to see why people are miffed with supporters of the AI enhancement mode…

It’s like saying you’re not wearing make up but actually you have natural make up on to enhance your features. You look different when you wake up without anything on your face at all. But hey it’s still your features so you don’t see why you can’t say you’re not wearing make up though you clearly are coz it’s not like you did plastic surgery.

It’s just dishonest.

People are acting slike it's a bad thing and you can turn it off

[carlforan]

Is that the guy from Rick and Morty ? 😂

[MrCool]

Lol the little guy who lives on the moon

[Oreo]

Why is NO ONE talking about the man on the moon

[ByGraceThroughFaith]

That's fakeing it. If your camera can't focus on the moon, just say it.

As long i can disable this feature im cool with it
