How to use the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S9 Plus?

What's new in the camera app on Galaxy S9 and S9+ with Android Pie update? How to use scene optimizer and flaw detection on Galaxy S9 and S9+?

simon · 35 Comments

use the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S9 PlusLike it or not, you need to learn to use the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S9+  if you want to take lovely photos.

Although some Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners may prefer the old camera app, the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S9 does introduce some new features (ported from Galaxy Note 9 mainly).

This Galaxy S9 Android Pire update guide explains the new features of the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S9+, and how to use the new camera app.

The new user interface of the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Samsung phones

After you update Galaxy S9 or S9+ to Android Pie, you will first see the new app icon for the camera app.

Once you start the camera app (all the 6 methods to launch camera app on Galaxy S9 and S9+ still work.), you may be surprised by the updated camera app in Android Pie update for Galaxy S9 and S9+.

As shown in the screenshot below, you can find it is substantially different from the original camera app in the following aspects:

  • Camera modes are now placed on the bottom (above the shutter button) in the portrait orientation.
  • Camera setting buttons (options for the camera mode being used) are now placed in the top (below the Bixby vision and AR Emoji).
  • Bixby vision button is moved to the top of the screen.
  • AR Emoji is not listed among camera modes. It is now placed on the top of the screen.
  • Auto mode is renamed as Photo mode.
  • The shutter button does not have the zoom function. You cannot drag the shutter button to zoom. You have a new way to zoom (read on).
  • New scene optimizer button was added (read on).
  • Buttons for camera selection (for Galaxy S9+ rear cameras),  were updated. You can also use it to zoom in/out (read on).
  • For supported camera modes, you can now change the aspect ratio of the photo (and photo size) without navigating to Galaxy s9 camera settings. In the screenshot below, the 4:3 button can be used to change the photo aspect ratio to 16:9 or 4:3 or 1:1 or full (18.5:9).  In the original camera app, you can only switch between 18.5:9 and the one you set in Galaxy S9 camera settings.

Understanding and use Galaxy S9 camera settings

simon · 9 Comments

Galaxy S9 camera settings will help you get the desired photos and effectively use the camera in Galaxy S9 and S9+.

This Galaxy S9 camera guide explains the meaning and usage of all entries in Galaxy S9 camera settings.

Why do you need to understand Galaxy S9 camera settings?

Many Galaxy S9 and S9+ owners probably just start the camera app, shoot the photo, then share it.

It works well in most situations owing to the decent Auto mode in Galaxy S9 and S9+ cameras.

But sometimes, you may need to change some Galaxy S9 camera settings, e.g., using the timer, changing the video size to save storage, taking motion photos ……

Galaxy S9 camera settings allow you to customize the camera app so that you can take the desired photos and videos.

In the new Galaxy S9 camera app, the simplified interface means more customizations in Galaxy S9 camera settings.

How to access Galaxy S9 camera settings?

You can start the camera app in Galaxy S9 in different ways as explained in this guide.

  • Galaxy S9 camera quick launch.
  • The camera app shortcut on Galaxy S9 lock screen.
  • The camera app icon in Galaxy S9 home screen.
  • The camera app icon in Galaxy S9 apps screen.
  • Bixby voice command.
  • Google Assistant.

Once you are in Galaxy S9 camera app interface, you can tap the gear icon as shown below to open Galaxy S9 camera settings.

How are Galaxy S9 camera settings organized?

As shown in the following 3 screenshots, Galaxy S9 camera settings are organized into 3 sections/groups.

  • Rear camera (#1-#6)

This section includes settings related to the rear camera only.

For Galaxy S9+, there are two rear cameras. But there are no separate settings for the individual rear camera.

In fact, Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+ have the identical camera settings.

  • Front camera (#7-#13)

This section covers the front camera specific settings.

Some of the second level setting pages, e.g., timer and HDR settings,  are similar to those of the rear camera.

The purpose of such settings is to keep separate settings for the front and rear cameras.

  • Common (#14-#25)

The settings in this section apply to both the front and rear cameras.
