Galaxy S4 Camera


Perhaps one of the most impressive features of the Galaxy S4 is its camera. Not only did Samsung up the ante with a 13MP camera capable of capturing some gorgeous shots, but they also fleshed out the phone’s camera software further, adding new shooting modes that create some interesting photo possibilities.

The camera isn’t perfect in all situations, but those situations are few and far between. Not only does it provide 13MP of clarity and 1080p video capture, but functions like Eraser Mode might just make you look like a better photographer than you really are. Samsung based the camera interface off of their Galaxy Camera, and it’s clear that things have taken a big step forward.
Shooting Modes

The Galaxy S4′s camera offer 13 shooting modes to match its 13 megapixels. You get everything from HDR photo capture to a new Drama shot, which takes sequential photos and stitches together a compelling action shot. If still photos aren’t cutting it, there is also a new animated photo mode that allows you to selectively choose a portion of the shot to feature live movement.

While Samsung left out the 360 PhotoSphere functionality of the most recent Android version, you do get a 360 panorama mode to make up for it, and it works quite spectacularly. Sound shot can also spice up a photo by adding an audio element to your picture. A personal favorite is the aforementioned Eraser mode, which will delete unwanted subject moving through your frame. Let’s call it anti-photobomb mode.

Then, of course, is dual camera mode, which allows you to simultaneously capture photo or video using both the front and rear cameras. It’s useful for adding yourself to a shot, and there are several methods of doing so (all of which can be resized, moved, and adjusted), but other than being a neat trick, we wonder how much purpose it will serve.
Samples

The Samsung Galaxy S4′s 13MP camera left me feeling nothing but impressed. Colors were vibrant even in poorer lighting conditions and resolution and clarity were outstanding. Spending enough time, the Galaxy S4 is definitely capable of some truly professional results.
    
Samsung has been spotty on cameras in the past, often falling behind HTC and Apple when it comes to pure image quality, but that isn’t the case with the Galaxy S4. Video was equally pleasing, but we’ll let the results speak for themselves.
