Samsung has introduced several new and improved features with the Galaxy S24 series. The company's newest flagship smartphone series brings brighter screens, better cameras, faster performance, longer battery life, and dozens of AI-powered features. Among the improved camera features include better low-light imaging and higher flexibility while recording videos.
Some camera features, including the ability to switch between all the cameras while recording 4K 60fps videos and the ability to capture portrait images and better low-light videos using the telephoto camera, are limited to the Galaxy S24 Ultra. However, the Dual Recording and the upgraded Single Take camera modes are available on all three Galaxy S24 series phones.
Samsung replaced Director's View with Dual Recording on Galaxy S24
The Director's View camera mode that debuted with the Galaxy S21 series has been replaced with Dual Recording mode on the Galaxy S24. Director's View allows a user to see the video feed from all rear cameras simultaneously and choose the one that suits their needs. The Galaxy S24's new Dual Recording mode allows a user to capture video from two rear cameras at the same time, which means both views will be captured at once, and users don't have to pick and choose between two camera angles or perspectives.
This new video recording mode is available on the Galaxy S24, Galaxy S24+, and Galaxy S24 Ultra.
Galaxy S24 has improved Single Take camera mode
Samsung introduced the Single Take camera mode with the Galaxy S20 and later expanded it to the Galaxy S10 and the Galaxy Note 10 series. Of course, it is available on many mid-range and all high-end phones. When you click the capture button in Single Take mode, it captures images and short videos using the rear cameras.
Apart from standard photos and videos, it also captures images and videos with certain filters or modes (like portrait mode), depending on the scene and situation. With the upgraded Single Take mode that's available on the Galaxy S24 series, the camera can capture images and videos using all the cameras on the device (including front and rear-facing ones).
It isn't clear if this feature will be released to existing or older Galaxy smartphones.
