To learn how to use Pro Mode on your Galaxy phone, refer to the instructions below.
Before you try out the below recommendations as to your solutions, be sure to check if your device's software and related apps are updated with the latest version. Please check how to update your mobile device's software in the following order.
Step 1. Go to Settings > Software update.
Step 2. Tap on Download and install.

Prior to following the below guide it is important to understand that some camera settings and modes may not be available on your Galaxy device, as this will depend on your camera specifications and software version.
Available options
ISO: Select an ISO value. This controls camera light sensitivity. Low values are for stationary or brightly lit objects. Higher values are for fast-moving or poorly lit objects. However, higher ISO settings can result in noise in photos or videos.
Aperture & Shutter Speed: Adjust the shutter speed. A slow shutter speed allows more light in, so the photo or video becomes brighter. This is ideal for photos or videos of scenery or photos or videos taken at night. A fast shutter speed allows less light in. This is ideal for capturing photos or videos of fast-moving subjects.
Standard: Adjust colour temperature, Tint, Contrast, Saturation, Highlight and Shadows individually
Manual Focus: Change the focus mode. Drag the adjustment bar towards or to manually adjust the focus. To switch to auto focus mode, tap MANUAL.
White Balance: Select an appropriate white balance, so images have a true-to-life colour range. You can set the colour temperature.
Exposure: Change the exposure value. This determines how much light the camera’s sensor receives. For low-light situations, use a higher exposure.
Please Note: If the shutter speed is set to Manually, you cannot set ISO setting to Auto, you are also unable to change exposure value. The exposure value will change and be displayed based on the shutter speed setting.
Note: images are captured using the Galaxy S20+, settings and steps available may vary depending on your Galaxy device and camera specifications.
