Belarusian professional photographer on the Samsung Galaxy S7 chamber: smaller pixels – better quality – TUT.BY (press release)

We continue to explore the possibilities of a new flagship smartphone Samsung Galaxy S7. As you know, one of the greatest strengths is the camera. To test this element was as objective as possible, we asked the help of a professional photographer – Sergei Balai. Below -. His impressions of the new product Samsung

Better yet

After testing the Galaxy S6 was hard to imagine what else could be improved in the mobile phone camera. However, the week spent with the Samsung Galaxy S7, confirms the company’s advertising claims. With reservations, but the camera has changed greatly for the better

.

Judge: new matrix, more than lens aperture. The latter became more wide, compared to its predecessor. A snack – the optical stabilization, which allows to shoot in the dark on a long exposure (however, it could boast of “six”)

The developers decided to reduce the number of megapixels on the sensor size of 1 / 2.5 inches, and in comparison with the sixth “galaxy” , the megapixel count has decreased from 16 to 12.

What are the benefits in practical terms? On the same square matrix (approximately 5,8H4,3 mm) placed fewer pixels while increasing the size of each of them. The larger the size of the light receiving cell – the less noise and more light it registers

And for smartphone manufacturers noises have become a real headache.. If daylight camera phone provides stable pictures in the room or twilight picture inevitably “covered with snow”, undoing all the megapixels. The user eventually needs a “clean” picture

.
Noise? No, I did not see.

Dual Pixel from the world of “SLR”

Another innovation was the Dual Pixel Technology, previously used only in SLR cameras.

Its essence is that all pixels of the matrix with 2 LEDs, which in practice makes the focus is almost instantaneous. And it’s not just words.

On the Samsung Galaxy S7 can be photographed literally in flight, take pictures with the “wiring” and focus on a moving subject. Not to say that it turns every photo, but 1 out of 5 pictures will be sharp and clear. But if such a result was relevant for SLR cameras, but now this is possible in a smartphone

By changing the aspect ratio. Now it is not 16: 9, and as in classical camera 4: 3. That is, the frame has become less panoramic.

The question of preferences, but if you prefer the old aspect ratio, you can select it from the menu, with a resolution of 9.1 megapixels. The lens has become more wide – 26 mm against 28 of its predecessor, and wide aperture. Now the minimum aperture – 1.7, against 1.9 in the sixth “galaxy»

Snmat genre scenes on the phone a pleasure. You no one takes as a photographer

As a professional photographer is especially pleased with the presence in the chamber of manual settings:. You can select the sensitivity, shutter speed, white balance, color scheme, type focus and keep it all in a user preset to use the setting as quickly as possible.

Of course, management efficiency, hidden in the menu does not give such freedom as a conventional SLR, with its buttons and wheels, but will not forget that we have in hand the phone. In addition, the usual over the previous model a fast start by double-clicking “Home” button to turn on the camera and take a picture vskidku just a second

Shooting wiring – favorite entertainment

. In the menu you can activate the mode “picture motion”, which will record 3 seconds before you press the shutter, that is to miss the desired frame has become more difficult.

model Samsung galaxy S7 is too small for my hands, it took time to get used to keep a slim body with rounded edges . Otherwise, the complaints for the image quality and ease of use is simply no

The average amount of jpeg file at maximum resolution -. 2 to 4 megabytes. It is possible to save images in DNG raw format, with further fine-tuning in the photo editor. The camera retains a copy image in jpeg.

The stock on “stretching” very decent photos. Out of habit, I put a negative exposure compensation, so that even in automatic mode snapshot preserves details in highlights. Focus speed at dusk and in the evening light well allows you to shoot genre scenes, and only during the day and even more

segment mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses seventh “galaxy” is not running out, but crept already very close.

Now, if there is such a smartphone, I see no reason to take with you a tourist trip in a large chamber. Only if for the sake of the optical zoom, which is not in a compact smartphone.

Yes, SLR gives you more control, ease of use and image quality, but it’s a few kilos of glass and metal that are tiring to carry around all day.

Photographs taken on a compact and slim Samsung galaxy S7, fully satisfy the image quality for the family album, and as a photographer notebook. They can be printed on A4 format process directly into your phone and post to social networks

Take a picture with the presentation, take a picture of a tourist attraction, or shoot straight under water -. Vlagozaschischen phone. Camera phones are no longer perceived as a fun addition to the basic functions – call, but Samsung galaxy S7 further blurred the line between conventional camera and camera phone

All the pictures below were made without further processing, changed only the original size of the pictures. for publication. In the gallery of examples of photos with comments.
