Additional Camera modes in the Camera app

Your Galaxy S22 comes with some familiar camera features too. With Portrait mode, you can capture beautiful pictures of yourself or your friends and then apply effects like Blur or Backdrop. Director’s view lets you record videos using different lenses, so you can film something in front of you and record yourself at the same time! If you’d like to take multiple pictures at once, use Single take to capture cropped shots, filtered pictures, and even videos in just a few seconds.
