Camera

Pro Mode
The camera gives you more control over your photos. You can switch to Pro Mode which lets you alter ISO, shutter speed, exposure value, colour tone, manual focus and white balance.
Saving in RAW
For all of the professional photographers out there, this one’s a biggie. Pro Mode means you can save a photo as a RAW file. A RAW file has 10x more data than a JPEG file, which gives you more control in the editing process.
Optical Zoom
The S10 Plus also has an optical zoom which works the same way as a zoom lens on a traditional camera. Optical zoom does a better job than digital zoom at taking photos from far away or in dull lighting as it does not degrade image quality when used.
8K Video
The Samsung S10 Plus takes recording to record-breaking heights with 8K video. Your content is smoother, sharper and clearer than any other video feature in a flagship smartphone.
Hyperlapse
Hyperlapse lets you record a video in a sped-up fashion. You can change the speed of hyper-lapse too, either increasing or decreasing the frames per second.
Timelapse
Condense an entire day into a few seconds.
Slow motion
Slow motion is also included, which allows you to catch every detail of that action shot. Slow things right down to 960fps.
