The Galaxy S21 Ultra has a hidden camera mode: Macro
S21 Ultra camera zoom lens.

The ultrawide camera on the Galaxy S21 Ultra doesn’t just take ultrawide photos. When you get right up close, some clever software and artificial intelligence processing activate an effective macro mode. The quality of the photos you get, and how easy they are to take, quickly banishes all those bad feelings towards macro cameras you may have, after potentially being disappointed by low-megapixel macro cameras on phones recently.
How does it work?
Samsung’s improved A.I. abilities make the Galaxy S21 Ultra’s macro mode possible. When you get within 10 centimeters of an object, the camera knows to switch over to its close-up mode. Best of all is that it has autofocus, so it operates in the same way as the other cameras on the phone and ensures what you point the camera at stays in focus. It’s all as simple as that, although there is one thing you have to do to make it work -- switch to the ultrawide camera.

How do you know it has worked? Sometimes you will get a notification that says, “Enhanced Focus” on the screen -- Samsung’s name for the macro/close-up mode -- when it activates, but this doesn’t always happen. The easiest way is to just look at the screen, as the object will quickly come into focus. None of this happens if you’re using any of the other camera lenses.
Macro modes are (usually) terrible
Why do I like Samsung’s close-up mode? Because it’s really good. Padding the number of camera lenses a phone has with a substandard macro camera has been an unfortunate trend over the past couple of years. The 2-megapixel macro cameras rarely take a photo that was worth looking at, let alone sharing. Sure, manufacturers may claim it makes a difference to the quality of artificial bokeh shots, but the Google Pixel 4a does a solid job without one. I’d rather they weren’t there at all.

Samsung’s Single Take camera mode on the Galaxy S21 isn’t a gimmick for newbies
how use samsung single take 2 galaxy s21 ultra camera over jigsaw

Do you never want to miss a photo opportunity, but sometimes aren’t sure if a photo or video will work best to capture the moment? Samsung’s Single Take mode is for you. It leans on Samsung’s enhanced artificial intelligence (A.I.), comprehensive editing suite, and multiple cameras to take all the work out of making sure you’ve got the entire scene covered, and all you have to do is point your phone in the right direction.

Don’t think this is just a gimmick or something only useful to those who aren’t experienced photographers. It’s much more than that. Single Take launched on the Galaxy S20 series, but it’s back for the Galaxy S21 series and has been upgraded to Single Take 2.0 at the same time. I've been using it on the Galaxy s21 Ultra, and here’s what’s new, and how to get the best from this unusual and very helpful feature.
What you need to use Single Take 2.0
You need a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus, or a Samsung Galaxy S21. These all have the latest One UI 3.1 software onboard, while the cameras and processor are competent and powerful enough to operate Single Take 2.0. While it’s likely version 2.0 will make it to other older Samsung phones in the future, not every feature will be included, as some are only made possible by the superior A.I. and other technology inside the S21 phones.
What does Single Take 2.0 do?
Single Take creates 14 different individual compositions from a single short video clip, ranging from a “golden” best shot, a black-and-white photo, and a filtered still, to a boomerang-style video, a slow-motion video, and several shots created using filters and at different video speeds. If you can’t decide whether to use video, shoot a still, use wide-angle, or even the 108-megapixel mode, just use Single Take. It covers all these and more.

The best digital cameras
fujifilm x t4 review set 2 dm

When we picture the best cameras, we tend to focus on specs like continuous shooting speed, resolution, and autofocus performance. While those are important factors, I'd argue what truly makes a great camera is not something that comes through on a spec sheet. This is why I think the best digital camera is the Fujifilm X-T4 -- not because it has the most megapixels, the biggest sensor, or the fastest performance, but because more than any other camera, it inspired me to pick it up and shoot it.

That's not to say its spec sheet doesn't impress. The X-T4 is the most balanced camera I've ever used thanks to a combination of great image quality, solid performance, and excellent video features. But it doesn't win any one of those categories outright.
