I tried both modes, but my main problem is not in such situations. But like 2 posts above, when there are street lights for example, the flare is so bas even if im not putting the light in the frame, but the flare still is showing in the photoI presume you are not using night mode? The main sensor without night mode is pretty bad in the dark as you would expect, but with night mode on its pretty good. This was taken in near darkness, hand held, without a tripod even a DSLR struggle to get better results when viewing at night mode. You can even see Bokeh of the lens at night, which is kind of crazy!
Question Camera performance
- Thread starter steslatt
- Start date
You mean like this on the iPhone 12 pro, sadly appears to be a smart phone issue overall

I was out last night, and just let it do its thing (night mode was on by itself).
Mostly, I like it, but it got the fountain, and the statues completely wrong with the exposure. They are too bright.

See the ghost lines along the edge of the building? I get a lot of this in my shots. Even things like dogs and birds have this ghosted edge.
no, thats what samsung over processing does.
Precisely. The antecedent of all of this is with televisions and "sharpness" controls. A properly calibrated television, depending on the model, will have the "sharpness" control set to the point where there are no edge lines (if that is possible - with some you cannot completely defeat it). With several models that may be to set it to zero. All this is a practice by manufacturers to artificially enhance the edges which actually reduces the detail.
The official term for it is sharpening/edge halos. It's when software over sharpens things at the edges.
The over processing on the second one in the stone wall is really bad.Greys and browns seem to be a problem for the soft ware.In the other pictures there is so much detail in the trees.I do not understand it.
People were talking about pets.
I think it comes out fine and not blurry.
But maybe my expectations are low.
I like the phone and with the promo price happy with it. Maybe at full price I would be more critical.

Yes, camera can be hit or miss. Generally I'm quite satisfied with results, but not too much impressed in its current state (coming from Oppo Find X2 Pro, which produced really good photos).The over processing on the second one in the stone wall is really bad.Greys and browns seem to be a problem for the soft ware.In the other pictures there is so much detail in the trees.I do not understand it.

Thats amazing, the sensor is sooo much like DSLR vibe, Samsung could get soo much better from it.
I'm playing around with my new S21U Exynos since a few days, of course with special attention to the camera.
For me it is really a mixed bag and somewhat inconsistent, giving great shots here and ruining other ones there
As already stated I think processing is the culprit here, from my experience specifically in difficult scenes with high dynamic range in the picture.
I did some comparisons with my Mi 10 Ultra and so far must say I am overall pretty happy with the S2U performance, specifically dark fur seems to be better on the S21U .... See some images showcasing the differences, in the "sky"-images you can clearly see the effects of the Samsung overprocessing....
A shame Gcam presently is not able to support the Zoom-lenses due to some Samsung-specifica in handling the cameras

I think Samsung pretty obviously made a decision on how to process these images base on overall look versus croping at 100%
This is on of the pictures I have printed onto a largeish canvas at home, its 1.2 meter in width and when viewed at a normal distance of 2-3 meter it looks absolutely fine.
This is the original source image taken with a Canon DSLR, at 100% crop you can see all the imperfections in the photo - the flower isn't actually in focus, but when printed it actually doesn't matter. So unless you are entering photo competitions I think the balance between image appearance on screen/print versus details at 100% crop are pretty well judged on the S21 U.
