The Samsung Galaxy S9 Camera Features Explained!

Samsung conducted a special tech briefing session on the Samsung Galaxy S9 camera features. They demonstrated the new Galaxy S9 camera features like Super Slow-mo, f/1.5 low light capability, and the new AR Emoji feature.

Dual Aperture Camera

Both models feature a new, unique dual aperture camera. The camera has a mechanical aperture that automatically switches between an incredibly bright f/1.5 aperture, and the f/2.4 aperture for a deeper depth of field.

The f/1.5 aperture is the widest aperture so far in a smartphone, offering just over ⅓ stop more light than the f/1.7 aperture of the Samsung Galaxy S8‘s camera. This translates into better low-light photography with less noise.

Super Slow-Mo

Both smartphones will come with a new Super Slow-mo feature. It allows you to record slow-motion 720p video at 960 fps. Best of all – the Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ smartphones can automatically detect motion and start recording  when you need it to.

There are some caveats though. It is limited to 20 shots per video, with approximately 0.2 seconds of recording and 6 seconds of playback for each slow-mo shot.

The Super Slow-mo videos can be instantly edited, with a random selection from preloaded choices. Or you can use your own music / songs. You can also create a GIF from the recorded video, with three style of looping – reverse, forward or swing.

AR Emoji

This is arguably one of the coolest software features in the new Samsung Galaxy S9 camera system. You can use either the front or rear camera to take a picture of anyone, to create augmented reality emojis that look like your subject!

The Samsung Galaxy S9 and S9+ will automatically create an avatar that looks like you, which you can customise to your satisfaction. They will also automatically create 18 stickers showing a range of different emotions for you to use in your instant messages.

But that’s not all – the avatar will imitate your facial expressions. You can even record videos that can be shared with your friends!
