What adjustments can be made in Expert RAW mode


In Samsung's Expert RAW mode, photographers have access to a range of advanced adjustments that enhance their control over image capture. Here are the key adjustments available:

Key Adjustments in Expert RAW Mode

- ISO Control: Users can manually adjust the ISO settings to control the camera sensor's sensitivity to light. The app allows for auto settings as well as manual adjustments, where you can set it below 50 only in auto mode[4][6].

- Shutter Speed: This setting controls how long the camera's shutter remains open, allowing users to manipulate motion blur and exposure. Adjusting shutter speed is crucial for capturing fast-moving subjects or achieving specific artistic effects[4][6].

- White Balance: Photographers can manually adjust the white balance to achieve the desired color temperature, making images appear warmer or cooler based on the lighting conditions[1][3][4].

- Focus Control: The app allows for precise focus adjustments, including manual focus with a visual aid that highlights in-focus areas. This is particularly useful for macro photography or when shooting small subjects[1][3][4].

- Exposure Value (EV): Users can tweak the exposure value to brighten or darken images without altering other settings. This adjustment helps in achieving the right exposure balance in challenging lighting conditions[2][3].

- Lens Selection: Unlike standard modes where the camera automatically switches lenses based on zoom, Expert RAW lets users select specific lenses (ultra-wide, wide-angle, telephoto) and maintain that choice throughout their shooting session[5][6].

- Astrophotography Mode: This feature enables longer exposure times and specific adjustments for capturing celestial events. Users can set focus, white balance, and exposure duration tailored for night sky photography[6].

- Multiple Exposure Mode: This allows photographers to combine different exposures into a single image creatively. Users can select continuous shooting or manual capture modes depending on their preference[6].

- Adaptive Pixel Technology: In low-light conditions, this feature combines high-resolution and lower-resolution images to enhance brightness while maintaining detail[4].

- Editing Capabilities: The RAW files produced offer extensive post-processing capabilities, allowing for adjustments in exposure, saturation, shadows, highlights, and more without loss of quality[2][3].

These features collectively empower photographers to achieve professional-grade results by providing granular control over various aspects of image capture and processing.
