Tips for Galaxy S3
The only device I have to use for this project is a Galaxy S3. A lot of people I know love to take pictures with their phone, but have trouble with getting a decent shot because the subject (usually a child/pet) was moving. So one of the best tricks I have learned is “Best Shot”. This feature allows the user to take a burst of up to 20 shots at one time.

To take a “best shot" simply go to the camera app. On the left hand side of the screen there will be an icon of a rectangle, select that icon. A selection of “shooting modes” will appear. Select “best shot”. And you are ready to take your series of picture! After all the pictures are taken you can choose which one(s) you want to save in your gallery, you can discard the rest.

Other shooting modes are:

Single Shot (default);

Best Face: Best Face is basically the 'Best Shot' for a group photo. It allows the user to take 5 consecutive pictures and then select the best face for each subject and place all the 'best faces' in one photo.

Face Detection- this allows you to select the focus or center of the picture

Panorma-This allows for wider shots (good for landscapes)

Share Shot-Allows you to share pictures you take with your phone (Wi fi direct has to be on which is found under settings. Make sure the people you want to share your photos will have their Wi Fi direct on as well).

Buddy Photo Share-Allows user to tag a person to a picture (great for adding a pic to a contact).

Beauty-I was hoping this meant that you could add cool drawings or change the brightness of the picture but no “beauty” makes it possible to remove ‘imperfections in a person’s face’

Smile Shot-This is a sneaky! This feature takes the picture as soon as it detects the person smiling.

HDR-prevents picture from being under or over exposed

 

Another feature (although this one is non camera related) that was new with the Galaxy S 3 is the S voice—Samsung’s answer to Siri. My tip on this little “feature” is don’t use it. It never understands what you are asking.
