Samsung upgrades Expert RAW camera app for improved low-light performance
Last year, Samsung released the Expert RAW app for theGalaxy S21 Ultra, giving users greater access to the phone’s cameras and better control over their photos. The app received a January update that fixed several bugs andintroduced support for High-Efficiency RAW, a format that reduces the amount of space these otherwise huge RAW files take up. Samsung is now releasing a new update to improve low-light performance.
The changelog for version 1.0.01 mentions enhanced photo clarity in very low-light situations, perSamMobile. It’s not a massive update, but it’s a welcome one nonetheless. Unfortunately, there aren’t many Samsung phones with support for the app — unless you’re using an S21 Ultra or any of theGalaxy S22 series phones, you won’t be seeing this update. That said, owners of theGalaxy Z Fold3, Galaxy Z Fold2,Galaxy Note20 Ultra, and Galaxy S20 Ultra should get it in the coming months based on thesupported devices listSamsung released last month.
For the uninitiated, Expert RAW is a powerful camera app for select Samsung devices that offers many advanced shooting features. It uses your phone’s HDR to post-process photos and save a regular JPEG copy alongside a multi-frame RAW file. It also has a deep integration with Adobe Lightroom, allowing you to edit images to your liking via a shortcut.
If you own any of the devices mentioned above and have the Expert RAW app already installed, you may check for the update via the Samsung Galaxy Store.
