General Working GCAM for S23 Ultra
- Thread starter Fl1nt91
- Start date
I had searched if there was a working gcam for s23 ultra and your LMC is the biggest reason that I bought the s23 ultra. I had amazing photos with the lmc17_s23u_v5_sharp on my vacation to Budapest.
I appreciate your hard work Java! By the way, I have a question for you. Is it possible to have 50mp mode or 200mp mode on LMC?

Does Gcam use pixel binning from the 200MP sensor down to 12MP?
BTW love the app, and it still blows me away how it can produce improved images over the stock camera app.

I think gcam gets and process the 12mpx raw file (already binned) from the camera API

After comparing several gcam versions:
at my opinion this gcam ->
takes out of the box better pictures ( sharpnes ) without any config as all versions they are offered here.
As i write, my opinion.

The main cam is fine, even if too sharpened
Zoom lenses are very bad, so i don't see the reason to use this version without a proper config file

I still don't understand what about you...
if you like super overshap images, why not?After comparing several gcam versions:

Look at the difference between the field of view between stock 1x and LMC 1x. LMC is everything smaller like as if you selected 0.6x

If i understand right posts above, the problem is on viewfinder. Not in final picture.
There must be something wrong with your settings. My guess is that you set the stock camera in 9:16

1I re-uploaded the config with color correction “C” in the post above. I corrected the sharpness to 1x (in my Sharp version the sharpness was like on a medium." Re-download whoever downloaded the archive with the index "C" at the end. Thank you.

8Have uploaded v15 my release:
6Hello everyone, friends! I am glad to present you new configs for S23u for AGC 8.8 V7.0 - Mazar V5.
Changes and improvements:
1) reworked shadows. Now the volume has become significantly larger in all conditions and in all shooting modes due to slightly different light capture, slightly greater dehaze and minor adjustments to the contrast settings. (Thanks to JavaSabr for the idea to raise the gamma contrast a little higher)
2) applied a tone curve to all modes and lenses, adjusted to ensure uniform illumination of light throughout the entire image (HDR quality)
3) Shutter speed in HDR NS, Night and Sport HDR NS from 1/7 reduced to 1/8 for even less blur
4) slight correction of noise reduction on all modules and modes, also relatively due to changes in shutter speed in night modes
5) saturation was slightly reduced based on the change in dehaze
6) various minor adjustments to optimize performance
The shooting modes have not changed, so their correct use is described in my previous post. All good photos, I try for you!)

It's not really the best config that matters - just download the latest one and use it. The thing is that you have to know when to use them. For example javasabr for AGC has 3 main profiles, sharp, medium and soft - load any that you prefer - sharper photos have more noise, more contrast and are closer to stock Samsung photos. Next thing are the internal (sub)profiles - "disable", "ka", "Natural-ZSL" and so on - again you have to know when to use them when taking photos.
"disable" is useful when taking photos in HDR - it is closest to stock Samsung HDR, other profiles are almost useless in high contrast, for example taking pictures in semi dark room with a window on a sunny day - either the window is "whited-out" or the room interior is too dark. "disable" profile works best in conjunction with HDR+ or HDRnet enabled. Both are still far from Samsung default light balance (but Samsung default is bad for other reasons).
Color settings are personal preference, for me defaults are good for most situations BUT there are some with intensive colors (some deep red flowers) the get bluish-white tint instead of pure purple in default color profile - in such case using arnova color profile works wonders.
Alternatively, instead of "disable" you can use HDR-NS profile - it "forces" Night Sight photos in daytime and shows basically the same results as "disable" with HDR+ - you should test how it works for moving objects before counting on it. Theoretically Sport-NS should work well in such case as it takes less pictures to combine, does it quicker and has lower chance of motion artefacts.
Personally for everyday photos I use Vibrant-ZSL with arnova color profile since I mostly take pictures of static objects.
Oh, and one thing, the latest javasabr AGC profile for S23U has (I think by mistake?) enabled "upscale images" (x1.3) by default so it takes 16Mpix photos - at least for soft variation.6Have uploaded new version of my config for AGCv7 and all s23
