Your Galaxy has three or four cameras, a zoom that reaches 100x and more manual control than any iPhone. This book shows you how to use it properly.
Samsung Galaxy Photography is a plain-English beginner's guide from filmmaker and photographer Wayne Sables. It skips the jargon and teaches the skills that make photos work on any camera: which lens to use, how to control focus and brightness, how to see light, and how to compose a frame so people know where to look.
Written for One UI 8.5 and One UI 9 on the Galaxy S26, S26+, S26 Ultra and S26 FE, and useful on any recent Galaxy, it covers the redesigned Camera app, Night mode's new home inside Photo mode, Portrait mode, Space Zoom, Pro mode, Expert RAW, Camera Assistant, and the Photo Assist AI editing tools in the Gallery.
Unlike most phone photography guides, it tells you where features fall short: why 100x zoom invents detail, why 200MP is often worse than 12MP, why the standard S26 cannot shoot macro, why automatic Night mode underperforms, and the Camera Assistant setting that finally stops indoor photos of children coming out blurry.
- 16 chapters, from first setup to printing and backup
- 6 annotated diagrams of the Camera app, lenses and Space Zoom, exposure, composition, light and Pro mode
- 4 graded projects with briefs, steps and checklists
- A 20-question quiz with explained answers
- Quick reference card for settings, gestures, Camera Assistant and the Gallery
- Glossary of 36 photography terms in plain English
- Model-specific features clearly flagged across S26, S26+, S26 Ultra, S26 FE and recent foldables
