Lighting is one of the important factors in photography. With the new update, the company would like to introduce the Editors’ Tint Menu so that you can fine-tune the effect of these lights.

Samsung offers three different functions for adjusting the lighting, which look similar but are different. Those three functions are Light Balance, Definition, and Clearness. Let’s see these three functions of Samsung One UI 5.1 Photo Editor.

Improved Light Balance 

Light Balance literally means the balance of light. This function adjusts the balance of brightness to the mid-tones in the image. This feature ensures visibility and balances brightness by making very dark areas slightly brighter and very bright areas slightly darker.

When we increase the (+) value, the light balance effect is adjusted to make the overall image brighter and more clear, while we increase the (-) value, the overall image becomes darker such as casting a shadow.

The Light Balance function is currently only available for photo editing and will be soon supported by Video Editor.

Sharpness Improvement

Sharpness is a feature that edits blurry photos to make them sharper. Although it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with light, it does involve the power of light.

Brighten the brightest point of the photo that bringing out the texture, which has the effect of sharpening the photo. The sharpness enhancement applies to photo editing and video editing alike.

New Clarity Feature

Clarity is a new feature of the latest One UI 5.1 update. Alike the Sharpness function, the Clarity function applies the effect of lighting rather than changing it. This function makes bright areas of an image slightly brighter and dark areas slightly darker to enhance the texture or three-dimensional effect of the image. In One UI 5.1, Clarity is only available for photo editing, but the company is planning to release this feature to the Video Editor.

Let’s talk about the Galaxy HDR technology implemented in the Galaxy S23 series. But do you know what HDR is? If you do not know, then let us tell you that HDR (High Dynamic Range) is a technology that expresses bright and dark areas as widely as possible.

Follow our socials → Google News, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook

When we take pictures or videos, we get images with suitable brightness through AE (Auto Exposure) operation which adjusts the exposure. However, when shooting indoors in backlit conditions or while looking out a window, bright and dark scenes coexist, resulting in images that are bright or dark depending on the scene.

Samsung Galaxy S23 HDR Technology

In Samsung Galaxy S23, the company uses the MF-HDR (Multiple Frame HDR) compositing method. It is a technology that takes pictures of different brightness by continuously adjusting the exposure, and then extracts the video information of the bright part from the bright picture and the video information of the dark part from the dark picture, and combines them into one picture.

Since the image is created by selectively combining bright and dark object information, an image with optimal brightness is created. However, since MF-HDR captures multiple consecutive scenes, there is a lag between scenes.

It means that a moving subject is prone to ghosting when the motion vector and image overlap, so it is recommended to use it in a shooting mode where the subject moves little.

On the flip side,  in motion picture mode, SF-HDR (single-frame HDR) technology is applied, and image sensor IDCG (Intrascene Dual Coverage Gain) technology is used to capture and synthesize bright and dark scenes simultaneously.

Image sensor iDCG technology generates electrons, that is, electrical signals, according to the brightness when light is incident on the photodiode of the image sensor, and the image sensor’s internal circuit (ADC: Analog Digital Converter and Logic Circuit) is used to convert the image sensor does for voltage. It goes through a process of change.

During the conversion of light into an electrical signal, electrons are placed in a cup called FD (Floating Diffusion) to measure the number of electrons. Determine a specific ratio based on the capacity of the cup and convert it to a voltage signal.

In the case of existing sensors, the capacity of the cup is limited to one, so it is difficult to take great pictures in environments with frequent changes in light and dark.

If the cup potential is large in a dark environment, it will be difficult to clearly express the dark part because the small light information cannot be converted into a sufficient voltage. It’s hard to articulate the bright parts well.

iDCG technology converts the existing one cup into two cups of different capacities, selects the smaller cup in a dark environment, selects the larger cup in a bright environment, measures twice, synthesizes in real-time, and HDR improves the performance of the image.

In the case of SF-HDR using 1 exposure, it is better for shooting moving images than MF-HDR using 2 exposures because of the sharpness of the subject’s movement. In addition to this, the company is preparing to bring HDR performance closer to the human eye through camera image sensors and ISP technology.

If you use the function while the charger is connected to the Galaxy smartphone, it will provide power to play the product and charge the battery.

This feature minimizes battery charging and allows most of the power to be supplied only to the running device in order to reduce the impact on the other products such as the battery, due to simultaneous game execution and battery charging app operations while gaming.

How to use it?

You can easily enable and use the Samsung USB Power Delivery Charging Pause feature, firstly you have to install and run the fame after connecting the PD charger.

• This function is enabled only when a PD charger is connected. Check whether a normal charger is connected or not, and connect the PD charger.

Activated feature but it is not working

• The game is on: Even if the game is running, if the screen is off or actions other than the game are in progress, such as switching to another screen, the function does not work.
• When battery charge exceeds 20% with PD charger connected (25W or higher, PPS function support is required). In addition, the battery may charge if a normal charger other than a PD charger is connected, or if the battery charge is below 20%, which is normal.
