What a dissapotiment, you can't use wide angle lens in videos or pro mode.  I bought it mainly so I can have wide lens in videos. So disappointed,  I am considering returning the phone...

 

 

Ok correction, you can use all lenses in videos but not all supports 60fps,  only main lens supports 60fps. You have to change resolution setting for option to show up. 

 

But still no chances for wide lens in pro mode

Since there are already different options for the front and back cameras, being able to select different frame rates/resolutions for the wide and ultrawide lenses would not be THAT confusing. But for now I think it's best to default to 30fps.

 

Pro mode not having the ultra-wide is very confusing, since it is actually using less of the phone's processing. It is very annoying not to have on the option since pro mode allows to compensate for the phone's default overexposure without sliding the EV down EVERY TIME and it seems to reduce the oversharpening and other post-processing. Perhaps the wide lens can't support some of Pro modes functions like saving in RAW, but a lot of the very basic things like setting a shutter speed are something I would expect in any modern camera. They should add the lens in to pro mode and lock off any functions that don't work, maybe a little toast notification the first time you switch lenses in that mode to say so.

 

As an aside, no video in pro mode! Can't lock exposure for videos or lock the shutter to 1/50, so it'll look like phone video no matter what you do.

Completely agree. 

I love Samsung native camera app, espeically that exposure can go upto 30 seconds now, but unfoturantely not being able to use wide angle for photos is a bummer. I'm a pro photographer and I was thinking of dropping my DSLR and try to use my samsung for for some serious photography!

I don't quite understand why pro photo mode can't use the wide lens. Zoom factor starts at 1 and we can't got to 0.5 to go to the wide lens
