One UI 8.5 could bring custom camera presets to Samsung phones

Samsung’s next big software update, One UI 8.5, is shaping up for Galaxy users. While Samsung hasn’t officially announced it yet, leaked information from early builds has revealed some exciting new features in its Camera app.

In the current Pro mode, users can manually adjust settings like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus to capture perfect shots. However, doing this every time can be time-consuming.

With One UI 8.5, Samsung plans to introduce Pro camera presets. These presets allow users to save their favorite combinations of settings and apply them instantly.

For example, you could save one preset for bright daylight photos and another for low-light shots. The next time you take pictures, you can simply pick the right preset instead of adjusting each setting manually. This makes it easier for both beginners and photography lovers to get great results quickly.

Moreover, Samsung might let users share these camera presets with others using Quick Share. This means you could send your favorite camera settings to friends or download theirs to try different styles.

The leaked code also shows that users will be able to choose which camera lens – main, ultrawide, or telephoto – the preset applies to. However, since Galaxy phones have different camera hardware, some presets might not work the same on every device.

While we don’t yet know when One UI 8.5 will officially arrive, these new camera tools could make Samsung’s camera experience even more powerful and user-friendly. Stay tuned for more information.

A diagram shows the internal optical path of a camera’s viewfinder system, with colored lines illustrating light passing through various lenses, prisms, and mirrors inside the camera body.

Photographer and technology expert David Imel recently published a video discussing why Leica got rid of the most iconic part of its M series cameras in the new M EV1: the rangefinder. But to do that, he first had to explain what a rangefinder is and how it works, and in doing so created the best modern breakdown of the technology that is very easy to understand.

The Best Video Cameras to Take On Long-Distance Backpacking

A hiker with a large backpack walks toward a scenic mountain vista, framed by a tree and a large rock, under a partly cloudy sky.

It was sunset on top of the tallest mountain in the continental United States, and I had two immediate priorities. One was dinner. As a long-distance backpacker on the Pacific Crest Trail, I was burning between 4,000 and 6,000 calories a day, and losing too much weight was a constant concern for myself and my friends. The other priority was 32.4 ounces of metal and glass clipped to the shoulder strap of my backpack: my camera. And as the sun sank towards the horizon, I kept neglecting my dinner in favor of keeping up with the ever-changing lighting.

DJI Osmo 360 Review: Ready for Adventure Against Stiff Competition

A 360-degree camera displays a photo of an ornate building on its screen, with the same building blurred in the background. The image includes the "PetaPixel Reviews" logo at the bottom right.

The Osmo 360 is something of a reverse situation for DJI. Rather than being a category leader in this respect, the device is more of a response to what competitors like Insta360 have been doing. That widens the scope and scrutiny for what a camera like this could and should be, given the versatility DJI claims it has.

Leonardo DiCaprio and David Fincher Once Tested a RED Camera Using Just a Single Match

A man in a dimly lit room holds a lit match close to his face while smoking, with smoke partially obscuring his features.

Leonardo DiCaprio and director David Fincher are movie titans of the modern age; therefore it is surprising that the two have never worked together. Unless you count the time the pair tested a RED camera together in 2010 for a clip called The Match.
