Galaxy S4 Zoom has a 16MP resolution main camera that uses a BSI CMOS sensor size 1/2.33 inch. Sensor size is quite large for a phone, but including small when compared to the camera in general. The lenses use a Samsung 24-240mm lens with f/3.1-6.3 aperture. With the opening of this lens, the Galaxy S4 Zoom in theory will capture low-light images were classified as normal. That we feel when taking photos at night. However, when compared to a regular cell phone camera, the Galaxy S4 Zoom shots in low-light conditions found to be much brighter and more colorful because of the larger sensor size.
Galaxy S4 Zoom also has the capability of up to 10x optical zoom and image stabilizer. Optical zoom is included special features and one of the flagship Galaxy S4 Zoom. Usually, enlargement in camera phones made using the digital zoom. The lens is what makes the design of the Galaxy S4 Zoom bongsor seen more than a camera phone in general. In addition, the Galaxy S4 Zoom implanted Xenon flash, instead of LEDs. Flash is a common type used in compact cameras being able to issue a stronger light.
When we try to run, it feels thick that we were holding a pocket camera. Grip shape and the presence of a physical shutter button is helpful in shooting. To zoom, you simply rotate the ring that surrounds the lens. For those who used to use pocket camera might be a little bit clumsy with this arrangement, because usually there is a toggle for zooming small near the shutter button. To choose to focus on an object, you can also touch the screen just because the Galaxy S4 Zoom supports touch-to-focus. If the shutter button, press half.
To call or activate the camera, the user is given two choices of ways, namely by clicking the Camera application or directly rotate the lens ring. When rotating the lens ring, automatically displays the Galaxy S4 Zoom 2 short way (shortcut) Auto image capture and applications to the Gallery, as well as 5 shortcut My Mode (can be changed) such as decision Face Beauty, Landscape, Macro, Animated Photo, and retrieval Night photo. Shortcut calling camera with rotating ring can only be done when the phone is not locked (unlocked). In addition, the Galaxy S4 Zoom also supports voice commands, meaning that users can take photos and say "Cheese", "Semile", "Capture", or "Shoot".
Galaxy S4 Zoom is also equipped with many filters and capture mode. There are 25 shooting modes that can be easily used by the user to take pictures of objects to be more appropriate. All 25 modes are Smart Suggestion Mode, Face Beauty, Best Photo, Contiunous Shot, Best Face, Kids Shot, Landscape, Dawn, Snow, Macro, Food, Party / Indoor, Action / Freeze, Rich Tone, Panorama, Waterfall, Animated Photo, Drama, Eraser, Sound & Shot, Solhouette, Sunset, Night, Fireworks and Light Trace. While some filters that can be used in live is Vignette, Grayscale, Sepia, Vintage, Fisheye, and others.
We tried taking pictures using the Continuous Shot is auto, the result is the Galaxy S4 Zoom capable of shooting pictures as much as 20 photos (limited) in about 6 seconds. These photos are stored in a maximum resolution of 4608 x 3456 with a file size of 2.7 MB / photo.
Although many are debating whether the Galaxy S4 Zoom is a cell phone or camera, the overall result is satisfactory photographs taken for the category of mobile devices. At the photo shoot during the day (light conditions enough), this phone is pretty detailed shots to record objects. While at night (low light conditions), the resulting image is quite a lot of noise, but is still fairly acceptable. Galaxy S4 Zoom has an ISO range of 100 to 3200 while shutter speed from 1 second to 1/2000 sec.
Video Galaxy S4 Zoom
Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom already has the ability to record full HD 1080 at 30fps framerate. If my friend wants to record in 60fps then lowered to 720p HD resolution. To start recording, simply press the image / icon camcorders, and to zoom in and zoom out just press the icon on the left or out or rotate the lens ring. When recording video, the focus will be run automatically, however, so users can also focus manually by pressing / selecting one subject being recorded (features touch-to-focus).
Results of the Galaxy S4 Zoom video recording is fairly good, with detail and color change light controlled. Galaxy S4 Zoom can pursue a focus on fast-moving objects, like a car that was speeding. This technology is able to reduce motion blur on moving objects. Some are like this way, but personally we see the movement of the focus makes the video seem less unsightly. In addition, the Galaxy S4 Zoom also features OIS (Optic Image Stabization) or feature that can be used to reduce the shock that the picture / video does not shake.
Galaxy S4 Zoom is also equipped with a powerful microphone. The voices can be heard clearly around, especially the Galaxy S4 Zoom has a strong speaker that makes the sound more detailed video playback. Besides the advantages, minus the parts that we have heard of this microphone is the inclusion of voice joined the zoom lens and a focusing lens. To reduce the noise of the Galaxy S4 Voice Zoom feature provides Quiet Sound Zoom and Mute. If you select Mute, then all audio will not come recorded.
