The Galaxy S26 Ultra records 8K video, 4K at 120 frames a second, flat Log footage and a professional codec Samsung built with Qualcomm. This book shows you how to make films worth watching with it.
Samsung Galaxy Filmmaking is a plain-English beginner's guide from documentary filmmaker Wayne Sables. It teaches the craft that separates real films from phone clips: frame rate and shutter speed, stabilisation and purposeful camera moves, shot sizes and coverage, lighting faces, recording clean sound, interviewing people, and editing it all into a story.
Written for One UI 8.5 and One UI 9 on the Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra and S26 FE, it covers Pro Video mode, Super Steady with Horizontal Lock, Samsung Log with real-time LUT preview, the APV codec, Dual Recording, Director's View, Portrait video, Audio Eraser and the Camera Assistant settings that fix Samsung's heavy processing.
It is honest about the limits too: why 8K is usually the wrong choice, why stabilisation costs you picture, why Log is not a shortcut, why APV needs an external drive, and why the microphone matters more than the camera.
- 16 chapters, from first setup to export and archiving
- 6 annotated diagrams: Pro Video mode, shot sizes, the 180-degree rule, frame rate and shutter, three-point lighting, and microphone distance and levels
- 4 graded projects, from a five-shot sequence to a three-minute documentary
- A 20-question quiz with explained answers
- Quick reference card for settings, controls, frame rates, Camera Assistant and sound
- Glossary of 36 filmmaking terms in plain English
- Model-specific features clearly flagged across S26, S26+, S26 Ultra, S26 FE and recent foldables
