Camera update

[Mimo40]

So I've been looking to see when the s24 ultra camera update would be coming in June and it seems like they have delayed it... so who knows when it will come. Just thought i would make you aware.

Hey there

Word on the street is that the camera update is going through testing and is likely to be July.

Does anyone have a list of expected changes?

Will we be getting actual ability to take Real RAW format photos?

Can we fully disable the forced optimisation?

You can take RAW format photos. Isn't there an option between jpeg and RAW? My camera is perfect. But update will be welcomed as usual.

I do hope they will finally fix this. A picture cannot come out blurry and grainy when the pixel next to it takes the same snap perfectly. They can't increase shutter speed indoors twice as much as other phones. This is an S24. Not S3. I really do hope they will address this. So many posts around here, reddit, YouTube, they can't keep ignore it. Also - this whole phone every year can end, we do not need a new phone every year, we need something that works. and if that does not work - dont release it. We are not QA for them. We are customers. Shame. If this next update does not fix it I am going back to Pixel and would never ever consider Samsung ever again. I will not be laughed at by those bad people. I work hard for the money to be just another beta tester. I bought a product, not an half assed brick. Shame on you Samsung.

"RAW" photography 

There is a great breakdown of it by other forum users here:

The S24 does not take correct RAW format photos

Forced post processing issue 

In regards to the post processing, try zoom in on a picture of a barcode using the 50MP camera mode. Post processing clearly distorts the photos and results in major loss of detail.

You can see my photo examples in the thread below.

low light

no need for a detailed examples with this one, take multiple photos in lowlight situations. You'll see how bad the s24U preforms compared to others. Colour differences between shots of the same scene, blurry etc.
