18 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 Dual Pixel Sensor in Smartphones

19 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 100% pixels used in Dual Pixel Sensor during focusing 0.7% pixels used in previous phase autofocus Galaxy S8 Others

29 [Camera Mode] PRO PRO mode (for experts) With PRO mode, you have the ability to MANUALLY change settings dependent of the subject to capture that desired shot

30 [Camera Mode] PRO 1 2. Multi AF/Centre AF 2. 2 Metering 5 6 Focus Point Tone 3 Exposure Value (EV) 7 Shutter Speed 4 White Balance 8 ISO

31 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 contrast 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.

32 Manual Adjustment [Multi AF/Centre AF] Centre AF If you look at the camera of your Galaxy S8, 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

33 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 :

34 3 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)

42 6 Manual Adjustment [Tone] Adjust the tone of your image before shooting!

43 6 Manual Adjustment [Tone] Standard Breezy Vivid Nostalgic Soft Serene

44 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

45 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

46 Shutter Speed 1/320 Sec Shutter Speed 1/5 Sec Shutter Speed DIY

51 Photo Comparison Shutter Speed Adjustment

52 8 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 More Digital Noise

53 ISO Tips Which of level ISO should I use? Low ISO - Outdoor - Light is sufficient High ISO - Indoor (Low light environment) - Night

87 My Galaxy workshop - Wow photo Food Photography Secrets 87

88 Did you know? There are 4 secrets to taking the perfect food photo.

89 Secret 1. Lighting 1/2 Good light conditions Poor light conditions The best lighting for food photos Natural light > In candescent light > Fluorescent light > Flash light

90 Secret 1. Lighting 2/2 With white balance adjustment Without white balance adjustment When the light condition is not good enough, you can use the white balance settings to get exceptional color tones.

91 Secret 2. Close-ups A close-up highlights the texture and color of the food to make it look more appealing. In contrast, photos taken from a distance fail to emphasize the food s qualities. If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough - Robert Capa, renowned Hungarian photographer

92 Secret 3. Shooting angles Taking a close-up photo from above accentuates the composition of the food. Types of shooting angles Eye-level: human eye level Bird s eye view: looking down This photo is taken from an oblique angle. The food doesn t stand out as the background is too crowded. Low angle: looking up Oblique angle: looking sideways

93 Secret 4. Composition Placing multiple dishes in a grid formation adds more life to the composition. Whereas placing a dish parallel to another is more simplistic and mundane. Let the subject generate its own composition Minor White

95 Light Bokeh Photography

96 You might sometimes notice that the photos your friends post on their social media look a little better than yours.

97 Yes, I can definitely notice the difference VS My friend s photo My photo

98 Find a subject that have a lot of lights or a background with multiple light sources

99 1. After turning on the camera, swipe the screen from left to right and tap Pro. 99

100 2. Tap ISO and adjust the value. (200 or lower recommended) 100

101 3. Tap and adjust the value. 101

102 4. Compose your shot and tap to take a photo. 102

103 What do you think of the results? 103

104 Taking Macro Photos of Colorful Water Drops

105 Have you ever looked closely at a water drop?

106 It s more amazing than you might think. Using the natural reflection of water drops, you can take some interesting photos.

107 Compare the images to see how the photo changes when you change the focus. VS Focused on the candy >> A dull, normal photo Focused on the water >> A macro photo of water drops that contain the background object in them

108 Now, let s take a photo using this technique.

109 Preparation 1. Put chocolates with various colors, such as m&ms, in a dish. 2. Put the dish against a white background. 3. Place two stands (boxes, books, etc.) and place a transparent acrylic/glass panel on them.

110 1. Put a few drops of water on the panel using a dropper or stick.

111 2. After turning on the camera, swipe the screen from left to right and tap Pro. 111

112 3. Compose the photo. 112

113 4. Tap and adjust the value. 113

114 5. Tap to take a photo. 114

115 Taking a Water Reflection Photo

116 Have you ever taken a close look at the ground after it rains?

117 Have you noticed how the puddles can look like mirrors?

118 Have you seen this kind of beautiful scenery reflected on the water? 118

119 What s the secret behind these photos? It s simply water reflection.

120 Water reflection Water allows light to pass through and show itself on the bottom, other times it reflects light and acts like a mirror. A photo of light passing through water >> Water looks more transparent when the camera is over the water s surface, when the water is shallow, or when the bottom of the water is brighter. A photo of water reflecting an image >> Water is more reflective when the camera and water s surface are parallel, when the water is deep, or when the bottom of the water is darker.

121 Steps 1. Pour small amount of water on a waterproof mat with dark color. 2. Check the subject and compose your shot. 3. Tap the subject reflected on the water surface to bring it into focus. 4. Tap to take a photo.

122 1. Pour small amount of water on a waterproof mat with dark color.

123 2. Check the subject and compose your shot. Subject Camera Water Waterproof mat The smaller the angle, the bigger the reflection effect. Demonstration only (No participant trying) 123
