Voice control was turned on. We may have been obscuring the mic, but we did notice that it likes some trigger words better than others. "Cheese" just wasn't working out this time around. ^MF
Why can I not find the mode of operation you demoed called picture in a picture? There is NO ICON for it in the upper left hand corner of my S-4 Active.
I wish to know how to keep the camera focus all the time when I'm recording a video om my s4. It suddenly gets so blurry when I do even a little move. It's frustrating.
Hey, I took a picture with my sgs4 last frieday, and somehow clicked on the 2nd icon on the top left corner, which takes a selfie sticker photo and adds it to the picture.. now the pic is ruined with it right in the middle.I'm no editing professional and would like to know if there's a way of removing that thing from the pic now that it's taken?Thanks!
when you press the setting button on screen and hold it, it will allow you to edit the quick setting menu. so you can change the flash/auto night/voice option for something you use more often like exposure compensation or one of the many options. its a pity you can only choose 3 though.
You need to go into setting in the camera app and select image size to 4.3 aspect ratio 13 Megapixels to get a wide view. In the 16.9 aspect ratio the camera is only at 9.6 megapixels.
Cheers - that's one of the best and most useful reviews I've seen on RUclips. I knew there was some method of image stabilisation for video, but some reviews have stated there isn't any on the S4 - although the steady image software isn't too effective. I agree with others' comments. Logical, and no-nonsense. Thanks again.
Mute the phone? Or there's a setting to switch the sound off in the UK version of the phone. I don't have an S4 (yet!) but I saw how to switch it off in a youtube video a few days ago..
cool, that would be good. i was under the impression the One had many of these features as well butg initially couldn't find them. turns out to make a group shot(interchangeable faces), motion capture(stop motion collage type), smart shot with deleted background people etc...you HAVE to use zoe. i'll figure it out, but if you could explain how to use/configure things so you don't end up with 10 photos and a zoe every time you want to take a single feature shot using, that would be great!
I must admit I find this camera app interesting. I wish the S3 had it. I like playing with settings and this one would have suficed. Great video and keep up the great work!
I have the Galaxy S 4. Have no problems shooting videos but when I attempt to attach them to text msg; e-mail or mail it will not take them and cannot be sent. I get a msg from Windows 10 "could not be sent - too large over 20". This is a complete nightmare and waste of time. I am new at this and don't know how to fix this. Any suggestions/ideas. The video on UTube does not cover how to send the Video once you have shot them. Very frustrating!
hey, sorry if i missed something, but did you make a video like this for the htc one as well by any chance? i went for one yesterday! might end up swapping it for the s4 down the line because it feels odd after having an s3, especially the buttons, but its got quite an intricate camera too so it'd be nice to be waked through it! :)
I was specifically looking for a way to capture a selfie from an upward angle facing down. However, I am not pleased with the middle button location on the screen. Any way to change the camera point and shoot to a side button? fyi I only wantched half of the above tutorial.
I own galaxy s4, I don't know but I'm thinking seriously to change it with HTC one because of lagging, do you advise me to change it, i do care a lot about the Cam which its very important to me.
Thx for the help and the video. I had a s3 and I took fantastic pics. Now I have the s4 and my pics suck! I'm really not sure why. I really want the anti shake to be on. I can even get it to turn on in the still pics. Also I get the green box that will pop up to show in focus. I'll take the picture, Its crap. Can you help me please?
Nice vid. I have this phone for a while and I didn't discover the live filters. One option I'm missing is the option to save your pictures and vids to the SD card by default.
I generally charge my devices overnight for their first charge, then run them to depletion the following day to ensure the battery meter is calibrated properly. Opinion varies on how necessary this is, though. Check out a site called Battery University (can't link) for much more info! ^MF
heyi have a problem with my s4.so basically i want to take a picture with the front camera but when i take the photo it is not the right way up.before i take the picture all the features on the camera are upside down making my picture upside down.i dont know what to do please reply quick.
Keep it if you are happy with it. The HTC One has a 4 megapixel UltraPixel camera. I am happy with my S4. It is the best phone and there is no lag at all.
press the settings button twice to access the menu, then turn off auto night detection. that should enable you to turn on anti shake. if you turn auto night detection back on, it'll turn the anti shake off. i just figured that out.
I just bought a Samsumg Galaxy s4. I watched your video because I was looking for the GPS option and couldn't find it. I went through all the steps you showed while watching this video and for some reason mine does not have the GPS option. I took it to the Verizon store( 4th time within 3 weeks) and they said it would have to be an app id have to download. Help! I need an app that will give the longitude and latitude of where the picture was taken for business purposes. Anyone that can offer any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
hey pocketnow! appreciate the video. but is there any way for me to increase the field of view for the s4? i dont wanna step further everytime i take a photo. seriously disappointed.

Thank you! So very useful. This camera is crazy haha
Big help! Thank you for this detailed video!
Mike,
You're probably the most impartial reviewer for Pocketnow. Good job with the review. These are some great features to an awesome camera :)
Voice control was turned on. We may have been obscuring the mic, but we did notice that it likes some trigger words better than others. "Cheese" just wasn't working out this time around. ^MF
Thanks! Finally I can use my Galaxy S4 camera and video properly after a year and half :)
Congratulations! (So late)

This is so much info I think I need to watch it 5-10 times so I can get it straight in my head

Can you use the photo effects with the front camera like ios7 has?
Mute the phone? Or there's a setting to switch the sound off in the UK version of the phone. I don't have an S4 (yet!) but I saw how to switch it off in a youtube video a few days ago..
OMFG! Thanks SO much as to showing where the Slow/fast motion on video is! I was looking for it ALL over the place!
nice video!
Best s4 or htc one?
How did you change the picture and picture shape for dual shot? Mine looks like a postage stamp. Yours looks like a circle
Will you be making a video of this type for the HTC one?
in RECORDING MODE: are only 2 options on my s4 . NORMAL and MMS no slow motion or fast motion. What is this?? Please help! THX for this great video!!!
how do you think the camera does at concerts? my iphone 4 sucks and im decided between getting an S4 or iPhone 5
cool, that would be good. i was under the impression the One had many of these features as well butg initially couldn't find them. turns out to make a group shot(interchangeable faces), motion capture(stop motion collage type), smart shot with deleted background people etc...you HAVE to use zoe. i'll figure it out, but if you could explain how to use/configure things so you don't end up with 10 photos and a zoe every time you want to take a single feature shot using, that would be great!
Nice job on the video and exploration of all the functions! Very helpful!! Thanks.
Check out our S3 vs S4 video!
Excellent description for a new user of the Galaxy S4 on how to maximize the use of the great camera on the smartphone.
Now if I can just remember any of it. Thanks for sharing.
hi!what is you most favorite devices of this year which one would you think its worth for money
Will s4 features be available in s3 ? Thanks man.
I must admit I find this camera app interesting. I wish the S3 had it. I like playing with settings and this one would have suficed. Great video and keep up the great work!
ok what about micro shooting mode? Had it on the s3?
How do u change the shape of when u do the front camera/back camera thingy??
What is the feature called where you can record video from the front & back camera at the same time?
THIS WAS INCREDIBLY HELPFUL. I had NO idea that I could take slow/fast motion video! Thanks for making this guide!
can you record and take pictures at the same time?
I have the Galaxy S 4. Have no problems shooting videos but when I attempt to attach them to text msg; e-mail or mail it will not take them and cannot be sent.

I was specifically looking for a way to capture a selfie from an upward angle facing down. However, I am not pleased with the middle button location on the screen. Any way to change the camera point and shoot to a side button? fyi I only wantched half of the above tutorial.
say, we choose a pattern or a passcode or whatever for a secure lock screen....!! are the lock screen widgets still accessible..>??!!
I enjoyed that. the dialogue was clear and articulate. the video is very informative.

Can you take black and white video with this and if so how?
I own galaxy s4, I don't know but I'm thinking seriously to change it with HTC one because of lagging, do you advise me to change it, i do care a lot about the Cam which its very important to me.

Great !!!
I have a S4 but some camera features I really didn´t know... tks very much for your time!
Nice vid. I have this phone for a while and I didn't discover the live filters.
One option I'm missing is the option to save your pictures and vids to the SD card by default.
Is the 360 panaroma like photospheree
I'm a little worried about the 'Samsung Galaxy s4' tag in the corner of pictures. Is it there in every picture?
Thanks for sharing insight into the camera I learned a lot.
Great video. Very informative. I really enjoyed your videos.
Very informative video..!!
Thanks pocketnow..!!
Thank you for the quick explanation!!!

Which galaxy s4 have better camera i9500 or i9505 please answer
Hey Michael! It´s Touchwiz on the S4 as laggy as the S3... I always end up installing custom ROMs because of that...
How do you turn off the camera shutter sound?
Very helpful review, but I was hoping you would talk about the zoom briefly.
heyi have a problem with my s4.so basically i want to take a picture with the front camera but when i take the photo it is not the right way up.before i take the picture all the features on the camera are upside down making my picture upside down.i dont know what to do please reply quick.
Keep it if you are happy with it. The HTC One has a 4 megapixel UltraPixel camera. I am happy with my S4. It is the best phone and there is no lag at all.
help when i am at the video toggle it only says normal and limit for mms where is the slow motion and fast motion at?
The title of this video did not lie. I got the information I needed to know(video resolution options).
Your video showed the ISO highlighted so that it may be changed. However mine is not. Am I able to use this feature at all or is there another way?
you have to turn off auto night detect to be able to change that option...
Awesome Tutorial...loved it.
No setting for shutter speed?
how do you turn the antishake on the front facing camera?
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME !
How can i get all the modes mine only got six modes
Awesome information - thank you!
in my s4 i'm unable to turn on or off anti shake option..can u help how to enable that option?
press the settings button twice to access the menu, then turn off auto night detection. that should enable you to turn on anti shake. if you turn auto night detection back on, it'll turn the anti shake off. i just figured that out.
Thanks a lot. It worked. I'm kinda new at this.
no problem. i'm new at it too. seems like a lot of information overload sometimes.
just wondering why the anti shake, iso and save as on picture settings are not available for me to choose?
+Betty Chamberlain Hi Betty. Go into camera settings and turn off auto night detection. Auto night detection disables anti shake.
I just bought a Samsumg Galaxy s4. I watched your video because I was looking for the GPS option and couldn't find it. I went through all the steps you showed while watching this video and for some reason mine does not have the GPS option.

Thanks michael for this great review

Oh, man. I lawled so hard at 6:23. Thank you for that, Michael.
A professional tutorial :-) Thanks!
hey , what's with the " camera failed problem " ??
How do I turn off the shutter sound when taking a photo?
Tks Michael. It really helped to understand camera software a bit more :)
Your video has convinced me to buy an s4 :)
you should do a video on the htc ones camera
Very informative, thanks!
But how do you get the pause button on your phone when your recording a video
Beautiful video!
Why does my exposure value reset to 0 n my white balance resets each time I exit out of the camera? is that normal? all my other settings stay
Thanks.. really helpful
