The Samsung Galaxy S5's Powerful Camera

When the Samsung Galaxy S5 debuted, it easily become one of the most capable camera phones around. Samsung has created a completely new image sensor for the Galaxy S5, which offers high resolutions that enable fine details and textures to be captured and provides heightened responsiveness for rapid-fire still photography, FHD and HD. With this ISOCELL image sensor inside the Galaxy S5, real-time HDR, Fast Auto Focus, and Selective Focus features were develope.


One of the things that Samsung focused on in developing the Galaxy S5's camera is the HDR (high dynamic range). To make the real-time HDR, they controlled both short and long exposure time through another sensor, making the delay time close to 0 seconds. As a result, they developed a single-shot method that captures all details and uses different exposure levels for different parts of an image, resulting in higher color fidelity even in poor lighting conditions. This would then allow the user to see an HDR version of the image live on the viewfinder, even before s/he takes the photo.

The second this Samsung focused on is the PDAF (phase detection auto focus), which help users nail that action shot. This means that with PDAF, Samsung tried to shorten the focus time needed to the absolute minimum. In fact, the Galaxy S5 manages to focus in just 0.3 seconds.

Finally, Samsung also made the user interface of the Galaxy S5's camera much simpler, so consumers can take shots more quickly. Users can now take pictures without unlocking the screen by switching the camera shortcut on through the settings. The Samsung Galaxy S5's camera also takes photo in the color, tone, brightness, vintage, resolution, ISO, and image quality the way the user wants, without having to adjust the settings.
