There some bullshit going on with phone cameras now I'm really not happy with.
I got a s22 thinking the camera would be great but its actually pretty shit. The default AI is pure bullshit it completely changes the colours "oh a blue sky. Wouldn't it be better if it was vomit inducing blue like a overly contrasted video game?"
Then when you turn that off it still overly brightens the picture.
I'm devastated with my phone because I thought at this point it would be near perfect photos but it's not. It's horribly optimised.
Does it have a pro/raw mode?
Yes. But I don't really know how to make the most of it or how to lean.
Also I'm not sure I could use it in a timely manner.
I would recommend a short primer on exposure and aperture on YouTube. Once you grasp those, the rest is pretty easy to understand. The key is timely manner, thats why photographers set up in advance, and practice.
The timely manner thing is the biggest one for me. The use case for phone cameras has always been a camera always on you, ready to go in an instant, to take those cool moment photos. If I'm going to use proper photography techniques, it's not with a phone camera.
The Samsung S22 cameras do suck, but there doesn't seem to be any traction in getting customer satisfaction.
I can get noooo
Customer satisfaction 🎶
Absolute piece of shit cameras with slow shutter speed for sure, even on the Ultra. I brought mine back for a cheap ass Pixel 4A and used that for two years instead. That has been outdone only by my Pixel 7.
Same with the iPhone, I go to take a photo of a full moon on a dark night and it wants to make every pixel bright.
