Samsung Galaxy S6 : Ultimate Macro Mode Shooting Video [ FULL HD 1080p @ 60 FPS]
Here is the latest object shooting mode on Samsung galaxy s6 GM-920 , it is great experience to hold samsung galaxy s6 and the 16 MP camera is just killer camera to all other smartphones.
Ultimate macro mode on galaxy s6 is used when we want to focus on some particular object. While using this option you need to disable Auto focus and just simply touch the screen where you want to focus. Using macro mode lens is optional , it also enhances the zoom abilities.
Note that the Samsung Galaxy S6 we used for this test is a pre-production unit on firmware version G920FXXU1A0BN, which was the latest available as of March 10.
Shooting in broad daylight is quite common and the easiest scenario for any digital cameras as there's plenty of light. The Samsung Galaxy S6 has a wider aperture, f/1.9 versus the f/2.2 of its three opponents, but that's not going to help its case in good light.
Before we start, we should check out the Field of View (FoV) for each camera - that determines how much of the scene fits into the frame. Also, given the equal resolutions, the camera with the smaller FoV has an advantage in detail as you have less of a scene to capture with the same number of pixels.
The Galaxy S6 offers a better dynamic range and preserves the highlights, which keeps more detail in brighter areas. You can see it in the rectangular lines of the blue and grey building on the left - the lines melt away where the sun's reflection is too bright.
The processing changes for 1080p videos, the Galaxy S6 goes from the widest FoV of the three Galaxys to the narrowest (the Galaxy Note 4 and S5 again being equal). The Apple iPhone is the narrowest of the four, which means it fits less of the scene can dedicate more pixels to each object.
Without so much help from artificial lighting, the Galaxy S6 extends its lead in the UHD video recording department. Its videos have the most details in the dark and the colors are kept fairly accurate. The Galaxy Note 4 does well in well-lit parts of the frame, but the darker areas are quite noisy. The Galaxy S5 video gets quite noisy, which swamps out the detail.
Conclusion :
Galaxy S6's contribution to the camera department is a wider aperture f/1.9 and the newly added Pro mode. We haven't really seen apertures this wide on a smartphone (save for the Nokia Lumia 735, and that was a 6.7MP camera), so it was interesting to see it perform in the dark. The combination with OIS seems to be a winning one - it can keep ISO low with slower shutter speeds, but not too slow.Both still photos and videos capture more detail and less noise compared to the Galaxy S5 in the dark. The difference gets bigger with the fading of the light - the S6 took usable shots where the S5 smudged the whole image. The new model tops the Galaxy Note 4 as well, though the difference here is slimmer.
Recently Samsung has been changing its tune - the bloated TouchWiz got trimmed, the aging hardware design was revamped and the camera software known for oversaturation and oversharpening has now done a 180° too.
Daylight photos appear softer than the Galaxy Note 4, but that's largely because the Galaxy S6 applies almost no sharpening. This (and the generally improved camera) keep the noise to a minimum, the images look less processed and less like a typical phone camera shot.
As we concluded, there were some issues with color processing in the red channel, but that was more of an edge case than a consistent problem.
The Apple iPhone 6 is a new device though its basic camera hardware has gotten only incremental improvements since the iPhone 4S. It held its own at 1080p video (both at day and at night), panorama too, but the 8MP sensor is holding back the camera.
