Camera lenses

Below are some additional details of each lens type:

  • A 12MP Ultra Wide lens that provides an immersive 123 degree viewing angle for capturing everything around you.
  • A 5MP Macro lens that focuses on small details like plants and animals.
  • A 5MP Depth lens to support Portrait mode’s bokeh effect.

Your Galaxy A52 5G comes with Slow Motion and Super Slow-Mo for recording fast-paced motion, like traffic passing by or your daughter riding a bike. You can slow down the action so you do not miss anything.

On your Galaxy A52 5G, you will have access to tons of entertaining camera filters! That is because Samsung and Snapchat have teamed up to bring you Fun mode, where Snapchat effects are integrated right into the phone itself. And unlike the regular Snapchat app, Fun mode supports Galaxy phone’s Ultra wide lens, so you can get more in the shot while still applying silly filters.

Open the Camera app, and swipe right until you have reached FUN. Decide if you want to use the Selfie camera or the rear camera. You can alternate between them by tapping the Switch Camera icon.

Note: The filter and lens options will be the same no matter which camera you use.

Choose your preferred lens or picture option:

  • If you are using the Selfie camera, choose between the Regular selfie option (the icon with 1 person) or the Wide selfie option (the icon with 2 people).
  • If you are using the rear camera, choose between the Main lens (the icon with 2 trees) or the Ultra wide lens (the icon with 3 trees).

Swipe to the right or left to view the available filters. To see even more filters, tap the magnifying glass icon. When you find one you like, tap the filter. It will be applied to your camera’s viewfinder, and its name will appear at the top of the screen.
