Understanding Pixel Size Pixel Size refers to how big the individual pixels are on the camera sensor The bigger the pixel size, the more light is captured in the sensor, thus the brighter the photos 1.4 µm Pixel size is normally measured in µm, ranging from 1.1 µm to 1.4 µm 1.4 µm 1.12 µm **Images shown are just for illustrations

Dual Pixel Faster Auto Focus For the first time on a smartphone, all the pixels on the image sensor have two photodiodes instead of one, meaning the professional-grade Dual Pixel Sensor can focus as quickly and as accurately as you would with your own eyes. Every single pixel on the Dual Pixel Sensor is used for phase detection, enabling Auto Focus that's so incredibly fast and seamless that even the most sudden movements are caught in the act, even in low light conditions World s 1 st Dual Pixel Sensor in Smartphones
Dual Pixel Faster Auto Focus Camera Dual Photodiode (2PD) technology allows for all pixels to focus, just like when people focus with both eyes World s 1 st Dual Pixel Sensor in Smartphones S7 S6 100% pixels used in Dual Pixel Sensor during focusing 0.7% pixels used in previous phase autofocus

Multi AF/Centre AF Multi-Point AF Multi-Point AF automatically selects between a number of AF points finds the most contrasty subject among those AF points. Example of how Multi-Point AF focused on the more contrasty background well behind the main subject (the lone green leaf left on the bush). Even though the green leaf is in the center of the frame, Multi-Point AF has chosen to focus on the more contrasty background around it instead. Tips! ~ If your default AF mode is Multi-Point AF and some of your shots are sometimes out of focus, it may be that Multi-Point AF is the culprit. The result is that the ground of fallen leaves come out in focus, while the main subject is out of focus.
Manual Adjustment [Multi AF/Centre AF] Centre AF If you look at the camera of your S7/S7 edge, there will usually be a square at the point which you tap on the screen, commonly called the AF Frame. When your camera is set to Center AF mode, this square that appears on the screen is your AF point. Example of how Centre AF is focused on the main subject which is the green leaf
2 Metering mode refers to the way in which a camera determines the exposure Centre-weighted metering prioritize the middle of the frame, great for close-up portraits and relatively large subjects that are in the middle of the frame. e.g A person with the sun behind him/her, then this mode would expose the face of the person correctly, even though everything else would probably get heavily overexposed. Matrix metering most commonly used mode, dividing the entire frame into multiple zones which are then all analyzed on individual basis e.g suitable for landscape / portrait photography Spot metering evaluates light around the focus point and ignores everything else. e.g suitable for small subjects, like stationary birds Reference from : https://photographylife.com/understanding-metering-modes

5 Manual Adjustment [White Balance] Daylight Fluorescent Adjust white balance to get the colors in your images as accurate as possible e.g under fluorescent lamp
6 Manual Adjustment [ISO] ISO determines how sensitive the image sensor is to light, thus determining how much light is captured. Most of the time is set as AUTO for best result Note: the higher the ISO, the noisy the photos turns out (grainy result) ISO range comparison 100 200 400 800 More Digital Noise
ISO Tips Which of level ISO should I use? Low ISO - Outdoor - Light is sufficient High ISO - Indoor (Low light environment) - Night
7 Manual Adjustment [Shutter Speed] Shutter Speed is amount of time the camera sensor is exposed to light or the amount of time the shutter is open. It is measured in seconds 1 = 1sec 1/100 = 0.01sec
Shutter Speed Tips Which shutter speed should I use? Fast Shutter Speed > 1/250 & above Slow Shutter Speed > 1/30 & below - Sports / Action - Wildlife - Freeze motion - Reduce motion blur - Scenery - Moving water e.g. Waterfall - Night - Smooth motion
Shutter Speed 1/320 Sec Shutter Speed 1/5 Sec Shutter Speed DIY

7 Manual Adjustment [Shutter Speed] Light Painting Create wonderful light painting examples by adjusting the shutter speed Be mindful when your shutter speed goes below 1/60. You ll probably need a tripod or a really steady pair of hands to avoid camera shake. Shutter Speed = 4 seconds
8 Manual Adjustment [Exposure Value] The exposure is the brightness of the image, measured in EV (Exposure Value) YOU can determine how bright or dark your photo turns out with measurement of Exposure Value (-2 to +2)
