ZFold6 12MP Zoom

[AustinMc]

Having gone from an S23 Ultra to a Z Fold 6, I must say the downgrade in camera did cross my mind a little bit, but once again, I am impressed with what the seemingly little 12 MP camera can really do with its zoom.

I know it's a moon picture and we've seen a million before; I'm sorry in advance, but considering I was freehanding, the auto lock really carried me, and to come out with the detail it did, I was impressed.

yes that is a good Moon pic  though will be more impressive with modern S devices. can stil take some impressive photographs though.  How are you finding the Device otrherwise?

[AustinMc]

Thanks for your reply!

Honestly, I think it takes a while to get used to the fold. In my opinion, I was so used to single screens that I found myself only using the outer screen.

Once I broke that routine, though, the Fold 6 just became normal, and now I can't not use the inner screen unless I'm in a rush. So, I'd say I'm sold personally, and I like it a lot!

There will definitely be a tough decision to make on the next phone I choose to purchase, that's for sure. Nothing beats a flagship S camera; it's just unrivaled!

Wait till you get a proper dark sky and point the cameras towards the Milky way in the sky.
I was shocked to see how good the Z Fold 6 with night sky stuff with Expert RAW.
Attached a couple Of what i got.

To be honest the daytime results are great as well
I've posted a fair few pictures from this phone

[AustinMc]

Holy smokes, right? That first picture is amazing! Was that a single shot, or did it need a longer exposure? I gotta find somewhere dark fast too!

[Glenntech]

No it was a single long exposure.
As it was expert raw it needed a touch of editing.
But even before. I saw it and it's the first time in many years a phone has made me say wow
I put the phone on my car roof and folded it so the cameras were towards the sky
Tapped the shutter button and the phone did the rest
Still amazes me now as you can even see the Andromeda Galaxy in the picture

[AustinMc]

It really is amazing what these devices can do! You have got me motivated to go out and start playing around, so results are pending, I would say. I'll keep my eyes peeled for any others as well. Thanks! 😊

[Glenntech]

Portrait mode is good as well. Especially being able to adjust the background blur to get it just as you like.
Definitely play around with the settings and different modes. Pro mode and expert RAW definitely are two great extra features to have.
For night time stuff, don't forget in Expert RAW is an astrophoto mode.
Has ND filter feature as well

I’ll bear that in mind, thank you! Hopefully, you’re able to get a few shots over the next few days. Can’t wait to see what I capture! 📸
