noticed something under camera after update... now u hv effects with thumbnails of examples.. nxt to settings. then the focus mode no more face detection.. moved to shooting mode.. can someone correct me?

u sure hv to manuall update the camera firmware ar??

feels the camera now doesnt hv as much noise as bfr..
*
Yes, it's called wand. All the while shooting mode has face detection. They felt it's redundant to have face detection in focus mode and shooting mode hence they removed it.

No need manual update.

Yes, I noticed too. But not reduced by a lot.

Yeo! it was nice! smile.gif

Next time I want to fixed the ISO, auto to 640 a bit high, I belive lower down will remove all the noise.
*
lowering yr iso will only result in darker images.

this is because the hierarchy in selecting the settings for auto mode follows this path:

set shutter speed to maximum 1/17 sec > exposure not enough? > bump iso till desired exposure

hence, by manually setting yr iso, let's say iso 200 to reduce noise, yr image will come out darker by around 1.5 stops.

if u want lower noise with same exposure, switch to night mode in scene mode.

then the maximum shutter speed will be increased to 0.5 sec (careful handshake).

i use night mode for my posted photo.
but it will have a lot off noise if shot in very low light

it's a phone camera with small sensor.. don't expect god result.. even digi cam oso very noisy. just try to shoot below ISO 800.

QUOTE(Godz89 @ Jul 13 2012, 12:01 PM)
Sry for noob question, how to set shutter speed on s3?
*
cannot be set.. only ISO can be set. just try to manipulate it via different scene modes.

Yalo, I just try, the ISO setting is useless!
*
not to say useless.. that's the limitation of a phone camera.. cant expect much..

it takes very good low ISO pictures in bright day light and acceptable low light pictures only..

phones camera are limited by the sensor size and the distance between sensor and lens..

I really hope ppl stop talking nonsense about "Made in Korea" is better/superior than "Made by Samsung". It's all about QC and got nothing to do with where it's made.
My own example. My "Made in Korea" GNote got very bad colour banding that cannot be fix until i had to sold it later. My other "Made by Samsung" GNote had no problem whatsoever and i still using it until today. Even my ¨Made in Korea" SGS3 got problem with non-working LED light for two days. Service centre want to hold my S3 for 5 - 7 days in order to repair it..!!
I'm not saying the "Made in Korea" is bad or "Made by Samsung" is good. What i'm trying to say is that we better stop the confusing notion about which one is better. It's all about QC and your luck on picking the individual phone that don't have problem.

yea man.. they have been talking so much about this.. i dont even bother to open my battery cover to check at all..
all the whining and raging is pretty useless..

hello..
i am a new user of a s3, and i have met up some difficulty.
anyone wanna spoon feed me?

1: Why when viewing gallery, it shows many unwanted photos pulled from my gmail account. I cant seem to remove the folders(albums). and when viewing photos, its not in full screen. it has two black border top and bottom. Wat a waste of the screen.

2: i cant seem to find my sd card. Gallery can find the photos in the card, but i cant access my card. I am using ES file explorer. Where to find it?

3: there is no "real" multitasking in android unlike iOs? for eg i play a game, pause, go to main home, then go toilet. back from toilet, game dont resume, but restart from main menu. normal?

4: Swiping images to images, it has to go one by one instead of a list of photos where i can slide them instantly?(not sure how to put it...i think you all get wat i mean de hoh..)

5: Pressing home button dont bring me back to my home page. But to the last page i left off. is it normal?i prefer it to go back to home page, how to set?

6: installed apps, how to move to sd card?
and lots more.....but cant think of them at the moment...
please help..sad.gif
*
1. clear the gallery like silenster taught. as for the black bars, it is bcz yr photo is in 3:2 aspect ratio while the phone screen is 16:9 aspect ratio. it wont fit. I assumed u came from an iphone. it's similar to watching HD video in iphone where u will notice two black bars bcz the screen is not HD ratio. it's for u to pick to view photos or watch movie.

2. use the default file explorer "My File" then u will see where is yr extsdcard located

3. if android has no multitasking, iOS is bullshit then. some games are coded once u exit, then it will close. it's not android's problem, it's the app. other multitasking works well.

4. one tap on the image will bring out the filmstrip on the bottom where u can swipe across multiple images

5. press home once, then one more time.

6. unfortunately for ICS, they have changed the file format. u r not able to move apps to SD card by default. In gingerbread then no problem.
