The most unusual Galaxy S5 photo mode is virtual tour.

They’re not taken at full resolution, but they’d be absolutely massive if they were. Panorama lets you take almost-360-degree panorama shots, either vertically or horizontally. This is a classic mobile phone photo mode. The more dynamic of these let you remove objects from a photo and feature multiple instances of the same moving object. Once you’ve taken the burst of shots, you can choose between Best Photo, Best Face, Drama Shot, Easer and Panning shot sub-modes. These are what really cluttered up last year’s camera app, so it’s great to see them put into a pen people can ignore more easily. With this mode Samsung has combined all the burst-shot effects we saw in the Galaxy S4. But apparently there’s a lot of call for this stuff. It doesn’t look remotely natural on its highest setting and is the phone version of airbrushing.

Just like the Galaxy S4’s Beauty Face mode, this smoothes-out people’s faces, removing skin blemishes and wrinkles in the process. It’s a solid automatic shooting mode and doubles as an extremely effective, and aggressive low-light mode, albeit one that slows down the Galaxy S5’s shooting performance significantly. You should use this mode most of the time. But there are other modes within the Mode ‘drawer’ accessed by your right thumb. HDR and Selective focus are put right at the top of the camera app. While the results are passable, it takes ages to shoot and only works within a very narrow set of criteria – a subject within 50cm and a background at least 1.5m away. The mode also makes out of focus areas a bit more blurry.

It involves the phone focusing on and taking pictures of several focal points in the same scene, then merging the results so you can choose which plane is in focus post-shoot.

By comparison, the Galaxy S5’s Selective Focus is a flimsy software solution. The HTC One M8 is the camera that puts the most effort into this. They emulate the wide or variable apertures of dedicated cameras, or the shallow depth of field effects you can get with a good camera lens. Phone modes like Selective Focus are the mobile phone camera gimmick of the season. We’ll cover HDR image quality in-depth in our camera image quality segment One of the neatest parts of the Galaxy S5’s HDR mode is that it gives you a live preview of roughly what your shot will look like on-screen before you shoot.

Shot-to-shot speeds with HDR are around 1.5 seconds – not bad at all. It’s effective, dramatically increasing image quality on cloudy days or with backlit scenes. Samsung doesn’t seem to have changed its HDR mode algorithm much in the Galaxy S5, but it was already pretty great.

Here’s a look at the shooting modes you get as standard with the Galaxy S5. That said, it’s not of great concern for normal users as the Auto mode here is strong.

We hope this will be patched up with the introduction of a downloadable full manual mode in the future – for the photo geeks out there. Unlike the Nokia Lumia 930 and HTC One M8, you can’t control shutter speed, white balance control is limited to just a few presets and there’s no manual focus. However, there are some very obvious missing parts in the camera.ĭespite having some control over Settings, there’s still limited manual control. The Settings pop-out menu is very workmanlike, but we’re happy to live with that when it makes it fairly straightforward to use. The Galaxy S5’s camera app is one part of the phone that hasn’t really been given that much of a visual spruce-up. Now there are just six, with the option to download more from the Samsung Apps store (finally giving it a reason to exist).

The Galaxy S4 offered more than 10 special shooting modes, fewer than half of which were useful most of the time. The same sort of un-Samsung ‘less is more’ approach applied to the TouchWiz interface is seen in the camera mode selection a bit too. We’ll get onto what the new Selective Focus mode does shortly. As standard your left thumb controls the Galaxy S5’s HDR and Selective Focus modes. You can customise the mode switches available to your left thumb – typical Samsung style – but the modes that are there fresh out of the box (and likely to be left there by most people) are sensible choices. You’ll also need to get two hands involved when shooting in portrait if you want to change settings, but it works pretty well. There are columns of control buttons on each side of the screen, both being easily accessible when the phone is held in landscape. As with Samsung’s recent tablets, it pays plenty of attention to how we actually use screens of varying sizes. We have not been entirely generous to the Samsung Galaxy S5’s TouchWiz interface in this review, but its new approach to the camera app is quite sensible.
