Hey guys, my main IG account got compromised and disabled, so if you wanna show some love and check out my new main account @hallofbirds, that would be awesome. Thanks for all the support here on YT and over on Instagram, it really means a lot.
Thank you so much for this. Im a doctor, which means i dont have time to do things i like but i really love taking pics and vids. Ur videos helps me in catching up on what im missing on cellular photography and videography. Much appreciated!!
I just found these videos.. I am a backpacker and taking a DSL is so heavy. I don't want to lose too much quality in photos and videos. I can't wait to get out and practice. Thank you so much for the time you take to make these videos and sharing your knowledge.
Well I've got s8+ but I was not really using the pro mode that much but watching your video makes me realize that it's just fun to use it and see how the pictures turn out so good
Tech Triangle word, good luck bro. And pro mode doesnt mean you can use auto mode no more because it all depends on the situation. Quick pics are still the best in auto.
Thank you. This was a really basic explanation - but it had the merit of calling my attention to what I've been ignoring until now. BTW, subscribed, to see if you have more in-depth stuff.
Long exposures can be useful for lots of things. Basically the longer your shutter speed, the more light you let in. So, it's very good for low light, night time, stars, light trails, and even during the day if you put a filter on then you can do long exposures to smooth out water and clouds, or make people disappear from an image and blur out passing cars. Lots of useful things. I have videos on doing all that stuff on my channel if you want to learn how to do it.
One thing I noticed on my Galaxy S7 camera is that there is stutter in pro mode and not in auto mode when panning. The manual settings do not seem to be able to smooth this out. For video purposes, I have to choose between the pro features that I want, or a smooth pan. Perhaps they have fixed this in newer phones.
Loving these. Got some cool light trail shots while outside with the fam the other night. Also love the Snapseed tutorial. Maybe more in depth on some of those? There are a lot of options
Thanks Jeff, that's awesome about your light trail shots! That's definitely one of my favorite types of photography to do. Glad you liked the Snapseed tutorial, and I definitely agree with you about doing more in depth tutorials, it's tricky though, cause a lot of people give me grief for going too in depth (and say I talk too much, lol), so I have to find the balance, at least for TH-cam. I am working on possibly doing some super in depth stuff as paid downloadable content for those interested though, but that takes a lot of effort too. Thanks for watching, and for the comment!
Can you touch on Metering? Sometimes when I click through the 3 settings I'll notice the image will change but most of the time nothing really changes. Can you elaborate what it is, when to use it, etc.
hi. can you explain auto focus area & metering? also, why does my exposure get "locked" or grayed out in pro mode? I thought when in manual mode you had total control. also, would love to see a video of you actually taking some different photos in pro mode and showing how you did it. thanks!
Hi. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us. Could you tell me what happened to the Pro Mode Video function on the Note 8? I cannot find it anymore.. .once it was there. Thank you very much. Regards Marcel
Brent i am between Samsung s9 plus and huawei p 20 pro and i like to have your oppinion about what do you prefer for photography. Huawei is 40 megapixel and 12 megapixel to s9 plus. I am amateur photographer
I don't know, I've never used the P 20 Pro, though I've heard good things about its camera, especially for night stuff since it has a 30 sec max shutter and something like 3200 max ISO, but other than that I've never really researched it since it's not something I could get my hands on. Overall, I'm quite happy with my Samsung, especially as a phone experience, not just the camera. There are definitely things I wish they would fix on it, like the max 10 sec shutter speed, and the max 800 ISO, but other than that, I'm quite happy with the camera on it, but it's also not my main camera either. Maybe you can find a place near you that has them on display or something so you can try them out?
@@BrentHall First i want to thank you for the honest answer. I used already the P 20 pro but for real i love galaxy s9 plus and i have never used it. I apreciate for the answer!!!
Hello sir, I watched your video on how to use the Camera pro mode option on Samsung galaxy s9 plus and I was forced to buy the S9 plus for video shooting. But I have some issues with the picture profile. My s9 plus picture profile icon is available but not highlighted, meaning it is not active. Also the picture profile in the photo mode is active , but lacks the different option to select from except options to customise that can be controlled. I needed your help. Thanks.
Nice video but the mode itself only is ok for situations with steady lighting and static shots. By the time you tune up the exposure a moving subject would be far away. I've got the phone hoping to see apeture priority there. I wish they rather did semi-manual controls Av, Tv, and locking the ISO, with exposure compensation that would work for many situations.
Do you have any suggestions on a good selfie stick or .... just any one will do.... Also are there any filters that would help when taking a selfie...... seriously ... I am new at this .... Thanks .... Shirlene
Hey Shirlene, I've never used a selfie stick so I wouldn't be much help there, and I've only taken like two selfies since the invention of the front facing camera, so I'm not much help there either.😔 but I do have a video on 7 hidden features of the S9 camera, with some selfie advice. I also have a video on how to edit portraits with snapseed.
Brent, brilliant video, its certainly encouraged me to start experimenting with my Note 8. Have you had a chance to review the Moment Pro camera app at all? I believe this uses the Pixel core camera app and wondered if it gave as good results as the Samsung camera pro mode? Would really value your opinion on this app!
Thanks Roy! I do have the moment app, but I haven't reviewed it. So far, at least for Android, I wouldn't use it over the Samsung pro mode. It just doesn't have as many options and controls yet. I've had a lot of people ask me for a review on it, but I just don't think it's ready to compete with the Samsung pro mode yet, so I've been waiting to see if they will add some improvements.
Thanks man, glad I could help! I have this video, where I tested out doing light trails with my s9 plus. The setup and process would be the same for the note, so you might be interested in it. th-cam.com/video/HFPbE8vothM/w-d-xo.html
@@BrentHall Tha k you for the quick reply, I was able to check out that video. I will take your teaching and practice it, once again thank you for help!
I have a question on my Samsung Galaxy S9 plus and the camera on top of pro mold and all that stuff but one is missing Auto? I don't know why it's not there
I don't have the plus, just the S9. I would like to know what's the camera mode for the version I have to get a good clear video or even a nice bright clear portrait???
That depends on your definition of "good." Sunsets are hard because there's so much dynamic range, even with mirrorless and dslrs it can tricky to capture a good sunset. I usually use some sort of nd grad filters or do hdr, but you can't really do that with phones. You can capture it with the hyperlapse mode, but you'll likely have either really blown out highlights or completely dark and silhouetted foreground objects. There's also no exposure controls in the hyperlapse mode in the S9 plus, so you'll likely have to rely on it's auto features. If it's all you have though, I definitely wouldn't let any of that stop you from giving it a go. I do have a video about different ways of doing timelapses with phones as well, if you're interested: th-cam.com/video/D6IVWtroIrI/w-d-xo.html
@@BrentHall okay, thank you for replying. I've tried a few times and the clouds look ok but yeah, the sun is usually just a bright blob. I even tried a welding hood lense but that made everything have a strong green tint. I'm going to go check out the video you mentioned now. Thanks again!
I'd love to, but I don't have one and I don't know anyone else who has one right now either. The camera in the note 9 is the same as in the S9+ so the pro mode settings should pretty much be the same.
Brent Hall then can you make one with your s9+ in different outdoor conditions explaining every feature for different scenes? Humble request. And thanks for replying!!
Downside to this is that for the most part, it's always a point n shoot type of scenario so having to play with pro mode and adjust settings can take a long time and possibly miss out on the perfect moment. Are there any settings that you can set up on pro mode and that works every time such as auto mode?
If you want to slow the shutter speed down enough to get smooth looking water, then yes, you will need ND filters for that during the day time. Or you can just wait until it gets darker out and do it without the filters. I did use filters for the shots in the video, but no external or 3rd party lenses.
Thanks! Now i'm more puzzled - F-stop settings NO Longer there! Have Not seen the 'Multi Dot' focus area available either after update. (last year?) Took HOURS to 'learning' - Now things Changed. I'm not good at this, but Undoing what i tried to learn is the pits! It's Different. Don't like it!
Yeah, I only use the native app for filming videos on my phone. I find it to be by far the most reliable, and it has pretty much everything I need to make cinematic videos.
Hey thanks for this. So in pro mode (for photos) can you manually focus on something? And 1 more question..when i press the focus button i get those little square shapes like canon 80d .how do u use those to focus i dont get it:) thanks
Yes, in pro mode you can manually control the focus. Just click on the AF symbol and then you'll see the slider, where you can slide it to the focus point you want. The yellow boxes will flash over the areas of the image that are currently in focus. So when it's in auto focus, it'll look like they're going crazy because the camera is constantly auto focusing, and when you manually control the focus, you'll see the yellow boxes show up where it's currently in focus. Hopefully that helps?
If you slide it toward the flower, then it will focus to it's closest focusing distance, and if there's nothing in that part of the image, up close to your lens, then the whole rest of the image will be out of focus. Same thing if you're focusing toward the mountain symbol (to infinity), then anything that's close to your lens will look out of focus, and if you're holding it close to something that's filling the frame and have it focusing toward infinity then it will also look like the whole image is out of focus.
@@BrentHall hey thanks for the infos:) i just got the phone and today i manage to find the settings:) didnt know the meaning of flower and mountsin to be honest and couldnt find infos online or on youtube
Brent, please do a video on Pixel Night Sight camera feature... Is there an alternative or pro mode method, where we can super impose multiple long exposure shots to achieve perfect low light snaps in galaxy s9+
I would if I had a Pixel, but I don't have one and I don't know anyone who does. You could stack images using some free desktop software, like Deep Sky Stacker, or something. That will definitely help reduce noise and make a brighter, cleaner image. It takes a lot of extra effort though, and it still wouldn't give you dslr level quality, but it might be worth a shot.
I have a S9+, which has HDR, but I can not figure out how to enable it in Pro-Mode. Is that actually impossible? In normal (automatic) mode it works fine in relevant situations
Thanks for that, can you help me with App priority though? I'm sure I had that setting on my Note 8 but maybe it was on the P20 Pro but I loved it. Can I do it on the Note 9 and if so how?
Thank you for your video! Do you know how to take long exposure photos at night (like a light trail or take the milk way - stars) and at the day (like an fountain, pool etc) using an Note 8? Thanks! Hope you success! :)
Thanks Bruno, Glad I could help. I have made several videos on how to do all of that. Check my Smartphone tutorials playlist to find them all. Some I did on my Note 8 and some on my S9 Plus, but the cameras and settings in both are pretty similar, so it shouldn't matter.
You were using presets in video but you didn't tell us how to make them. Also can you use presets when shooting 4K 60p ? and lastly would you know the bit rate when shooting 4k video?
For creating your own custom presets, just tap on either of the custom tones (T1 and T2) and adjust the settings to what you want. Unfortunately you can only use those presets for video when filming in the the regualr 1080 (FHD) mode, they will not work in 4K or slow motion modes (which is beyond seriously lame). With the H.264 codec, the 4K @ 60fps are captured at 72Mbps bitrate, the 4K @ 30fps - 41Mbps, the 1080p @ 30fps - 13.3Mbps, and the 1080p @ 60fps - 27.5Mbps. The audio is always recorded in stereo at 256Kbps bitrate.
why when i want to take a picture with the pro mode, it takes a long time before it takes the picture, can i disable this? I would like to snap a picture quickly with the pro mode like the normal mode one
Need advice. I have promode on my samsung galaxy note 9 About to photo fireworks. What would be the best settings to start with simce i have very limited time to get the picture.
Ideally, you'd want a tripod. Then I'd start with keeping your ISO as low as possible and try a shutter speed of a couple seconds or more. Aperture probably set to f/1.5.
It's just gonna depend on how much light there is in the photo. Adjusting the shutter speed will probably be your best bet for making the right exposure and keeping the ISO down.
Do you have a video focusing on how to record on a note 8 with the front camera..I can't seem to get it right by videos are coming out grainy and washed out.. not true to color. I do make up videos and the colors are not coming through very good on camera
Unfortunately I don't, I never really use the front cameras on phones. I know the front cameras aren't quite as high res as the rear cameras, but the graininess sounds like it might be a high iso issue? Do you have enough light where you're filming indoors?
@@BrentHall yes I use natural light from 2 big windows... and when I had my note 5 the front camera videos were great.. but when I got my note 8 and used the video is different.. I am not sure if I dont have right settings .it almost seems to bright and I look washed out little or really bright ..I was just wondering if you knew what the best settings are for front face cameras when used for yotube videos
lol, no worries man, the video's not going anywhere! Plus, the more you mess with that stuff the easier it will get. Thanks for watching, and for the comment!
@@BrentHall That's weired... would've been cool so that I can make fake long exposures more easy by taking a lot of pictures and stacking them. But in this case I need to manually press the shutter🤷🏻♂️😂
So I bought this phone specifically for this pro mode feature and to use it in Video shoots. So now the latest update came out and took it away. Samsung blames Google. I'll never buy another samsung device. I've been robbed.
Mostly because I like the feel of the Samsung phones for overall use. I didn't pick it because of the camera. Although even though the Samsung camera is not as good as others out there, it's fine for me, because I still use my dslrs for real photography. And also, Verizon does not offer that phone where I am, and that's my provider.
No, it's for both. I definitely use it for video, pretty much every time, unless I'm shooting in slow motion, which is only in auto. Pro mode is great for video cause you can dial in everything yourself and don't have to worry about the phone changing settings while you're recording, and you can have your shutter speed set to the 180° rule. If you're serous about video on the phone, I definitely recommend shooting in pro mode.
5:56 when you focus you'll get the green thing which show's where the focus is. I got that when i bought the device now it doesn't show. Help if anybody know how to bring it back?
@@abdulrhemanqureshi2067 wait wat?? Even on s6?? Damnnnn same bro my mom have the s9 and my bro recently got s8. Both of them have it but same im the unlucky one here
Thanks David! Your camera might be in one of the beauty selfie modes by default. When you're using the front facing camera you'll see an icon that looks like 3 little stars in the lower right of the screen. If you click on that it will open up a bunch of different options for beauty-like presets. You can make sure that "original" is selected.
matrix metering is where the camera averages the light values from a larger portion of the screen and gives you an exposure reading based on that average. Most cameras are set to that by default.

The links are in the video description.
Thanks! Now i'm more puzzled - F-stop settings NO Longer there! Have Not seen the 'Multi Dot' focus area available either after update. (last year?)
Took HOURS to 'learning' - Now things Changed. I'm not good at this, but Undoing what i tried to learn is the pits! It's Different. Don't like it!
Great video, Need the soundtrack!! Will you share it?
Thank you! I use Epidemic Sound for all my videos.
The profile look filters why don't I have them on my S9+ but only manual mode? Camera is running latest update
i have the note 9, can you use the tele lens in Pro-mode?
Yes you can! Just pinch zoom in to 2X. If you zoom past that though, it'll be a digital zoom, which will greatly reduce the image quality.
I see a lot of people using Filmic Pro for videos, I have shot a few on that app, and it's great. Do you really use the native camera app?
Yeah, I only use the native app for filming videos on my phone. I find it to be by far the most reliable, and it has pretty much everything I need to make cinematic videos.
Why I don't have food selfie and other options on top of the screen??
I have on top those you have on bottom..
Hey so I am having trouble with the night mode on my s9+ camera can you do a better tutorial my really blurry and does take the picture some time
Hey thanks for this. So in pro mode (for photos) can you manually focus on something? And 1 more question..when i press the focus button i get those little square shapes like canon 80d .how do u use those to focus i dont get it:) thanks
Yes, in pro mode you can manually control the focus. Just click on the AF symbol and then you'll see the slider, where you can slide it to the focus point you want. The yellow boxes will flash over the areas of the image that are currently in focus. So when it's in auto focus, it'll look like they're going crazy because the camera is constantly auto focusing, and when you manually control the focus, you'll see the yellow boxes show up where it's currently in focus. Hopefully that helps?
@@BrentHall when i change yo manual focus and slide the slider to focus it just blur the whole image for some reason
If you slide it toward the flower, then it will focus to it's closest focusing distance, and if there's nothing in that part of the image, up close to your lens, then the whole rest of the image will be out of focus. Same thing if you're focusing toward the mountain symbol (to infinity), then anything that's close to your lens will look out of focus, and if you're holding it close to something that's filling the frame and have it focusing toward infinity then it will also look like the whole image is out of focus.
@@BrentHall hey thanks for the infos:) i just got the phone and today i manage to find the settings:) didnt know the meaning of flower and mountsin to be honest and couldnt find infos online or on youtube
You're welcome, glad I could help!😁
Brent, please do a video on Pixel Night Sight camera feature... Is there an alternative or pro mode method, where we can super impose multiple long exposure shots to achieve perfect low light snaps in galaxy s9+
I would if I had a Pixel, but I don't have one and I don't know anyone who does. You could stack images using some free desktop software, like Deep Sky Stacker, or something. That will definitely help reduce noise and make a brighter, cleaner image. It takes a lot of extra effort though, and it still wouldn't give you dslr level quality, but it might be worth a shot.
I have a S9+, which has HDR, but I can not figure out how to enable it in Pro-Mode. Is that actually impossible? In normal (automatic) mode it works fine in relevant situations
Yeah, it's disabled in pro mode.
Thanks and God bless ! 🥰
My note 8 doesn't have the save RAW JPEG option, do you know why this option is unavailable ?
If you've had the Android Pie update it's now under "Save Options".
@@LOTR_BTTF Indeed it is, thank you helpful stranger.
Thanks for that, can you help me with App priority though? I'm sure I had that setting on my Note 8 but maybe it was on the P20 Pro but I loved it. Can I do it on the Note 9 and if so how?
great tips! thanks!
You're welcome, thanks for watching! :)
do pro mode on the samsung 9 plus have a zoom
Hey can you teach me how to shoot a star with pro mode in samsung S9+ ?
Please also explain something about Metering button
Thx and keep up the good work
Thank you for your video! Do you know how to take long exposure photos at night (like a light trail or take the milk way - stars) and at the day (like an fountain, pool etc) using an Note 8? Thanks! Hope you success! :)
Thanks Bruno, Glad I could help. I have made several videos on how to do all of that. Check my Smartphone tutorials playlist to find them all. Some I did on my Note 8 and some on my S9 Plus, but the cameras and settings in both are pretty similar, so it shouldn't matter.
@@BrentHall mon
You were using presets in video but you didn't tell us how to make them. Also can you use presets when shooting 4K 60p ?
and lastly would you know the bit rate when shooting 4k video?
For creating your own custom presets, just tap on either of the custom tones (T1 and T2) and adjust the settings to what you want. Unfortunately you can only use those presets for video when filming in the the regualr 1080 (FHD) mode, they will not work in 4K or slow motion modes (which is beyond seriously lame). With the H.264 codec, the 4K @ 60fps are captured at 72Mbps bitrate, the 4K @ 30fps - 41Mbps, the 1080p @ 30fps - 13.3Mbps, and the 1080p @ 60fps - 27.5Mbps. The audio is always recorded in stereo at 256Kbps bitrate.
why when i want to take a picture with the pro mode, it takes a long time before it takes the picture, can i disable this? I would like to snap a picture quickly with the pro mode like the normal mode one
Need advice.
I have promode on my samsung galaxy note 9
About to photo fireworks. What would be the best settings to start with simce i have very limited time to get the picture.
Ideally, you'd want a tripod. Then I'd start with keeping your ISO as low as possible and try a shutter speed of a couple seconds or more. Aperture probably set to f/1.5.
@@BrentHall okay lets say i set them there, and want a more vivid firework what one should i adjust thank you for responding i appreciate it.
It's just gonna depend on how much light there is in the photo. Adjusting the shutter speed will probably be your best bet for making the right exposure and keeping the ISO down.
Update Android 9 mode pro missing video record
I hope they bring it back.
Yes, are there any solutions?
The only solutions are to either roll it back to oreo manually or to use a third party app. Samsung likely won't bring it back.
@@BrentHall can you tell the name of the third party apps
It's back
Do you have a video focusing on how to record on a note 8 with the front camera..I can't seem to get it right by videos are coming out grainy and washed out.. not true to color. I do make up videos and the colors are not coming through very good on camera
Unfortunately I don't, I never really use the front cameras on phones. I know the front cameras aren't quite as high res as the rear cameras, but the graininess sounds like it might be a high iso issue? Do you have enough light where you're filming indoors?
@@BrentHall yes I use natural light from 2 big windows... and when I had my note 5 the front camera videos were great.. but when I got my note 8 and used the video is different.. I am not sure if I dont have right settings .it almost seems to bright and I look washed out little or really bright ..I was just wondering if you knew what the best settings are for front face cameras when used for yotube videos
Those were some awesome tips dude. But I'm never going to remember half of those.
lol, no worries man, the video's not going anywhere! Plus, the more you mess with that stuff the easier it will get. Thanks for watching, and for the comment!
Thank you bro
Can you use the Burst mode in the Pro mode?
I don't think so.
@@BrentHall That's weired... would've been cool so that I can make fake long exposures more easy by taking a lot of pictures and stacking them. But in this case I need to manually press the shutter🤷🏻♂️😂
So I bought this phone specifically for this pro mode feature and to use it in Video shoots. So now the latest update came out and took it away. Samsung blames Google. I'll never buy another samsung device. I've been robbed.
Same here😭😭😭😭
Samsung sucks. LG makes better phones than samsuck
Thanks!
How do you activate those green cubes at the end? When I click on the panel nothing happens because it is "froze" :/
What did that you choose the s9+ as your mobile and not the Huawei p20 pro fx?
Mostly because I like the feel of the Samsung phones for overall use. I didn't pick it because of the camera. Although even though the Samsung camera is not as good as others out there, it's fine for me, because I still use my dslrs for real photography. And also, Verizon does not offer that phone where I am, and that's my provider.
You should do a video of star trails with note 8
I did a video about making star trails on a phone recently. I used my S20, but it would be the same process.
Is the Pro mode only for still photo mode? Does it how in video mode?
No, it's for both. I definitely use it for video, pretty much every time, unless I'm shooting in slow motion, which is only in auto. Pro mode is great for video cause you can dial in everything yourself and don't have to worry about the phone changing settings while you're recording, and you can have your shutter speed set to the 180° rule. If you're serous about video on the phone, I definitely recommend shooting in pro mode.
idk whats wrong with my phone but for the standard thing mine does not work like that
5:56 when you focus you'll get the green thing which show's where the focus is. I got that when i bought the device now it doesn't show.
Help if anybody know how to bring it back?
Anybody?
@@abdulrhemanqureshi2067 nah fam no ones helping me out i need that on my s7 :( my mom's s9 have it but i dont idk why

Greetings from Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 🤙🏼
The filter clip in the description, fits S9+?
Thanks 🙏🏼
Yes it does, that's what I use on mine. Just have to take the case off. I have a video about using filters with the phone coming out on Friday too!
Great video! I have the note 9 and wen I take selfies they look to edited like I have make up on is there a way to fix that?
Thanks David! Your camera might be in one of the beauty selfie modes by default. When you're using the front facing camera you'll see an icon that looks like 3 little stars in the lower right of the screen. If you click on that it will open up a bunch of different options for beauty-like presets. You can make sure that "original" is selected.
@@BrentHall yes !!! Thanks ! This is awesome that fixed IT and that was my only complaint about this phone
Lol. Glad I could help!
Hello do you have tutorial about taking picture at stargazing or hyperlapse video tutorial
Great video
Thank you so much! 😀😄
I ask if there is another phone to try other than samsung, so I can subscribe your channel !
please explain that matrix thing you did in focus option
matrix metering is where the camera averages the light values from a larger portion of the screen and gives you an exposure reading based on that average. Most cameras are set to that by default.
@@BrentHall thanks 😊
How can I use at the top of theese? (over the white balance) I don't know what its name
