iPhones are boring. Restrictive.
But they can take a photo without blowing every possible highlights, a characteristic that my s23 Ultra never had.
People have asked, complained and begged Samsung to bring back the exposure to a normal level, but the company has never addressed this issue, leaving us with adysfunctional camera.
Yes, it's possible to lower the exposure manually before every single shots, but it's not possible :
β when you need to take a photo quickly
β in videos, because locking the exposure also locks the focus
β in 50mp and 200mp, because the postprocessing is as stubborn as the company itself: it re-increases the exposure! Which makes these modes less usable.
There is no doubt that an exposure compensation setting would be the solution. And an option to decrease the oversharpening instead of softening it.
Another solution would be fixing the problem.π€
But I've been a Samsung fan for too long to believe that it will happen. There has been (finally) an Expert Raw update... nothing there has been improved in terms of processing, exposure and details.
It is sad that the company who is behind amoled technology, the AOD feature, OneUI (before the current team started moving some toggles to the top of the screen), foldable phones and so many innovations has now become passive, letting down its most faithful customer.
