The foldable Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 phone, which is available at a price of $1,719, received one of the most exceptional camera modes in the world of phones through a new software update for the Expert RAW application carrying version number 5.0.08.2 via the Galaxy Store. This update brings Ambient Mode to work efficiently on the 200-megapixel main camera, along with the 12-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera and the 10-megapixel telephoto camera. This mode was originally developed for the Galaxy S24 Ultra and was available exclusively to researchers, who used it to monitor coral reefs and create 3D models using thousands of images.
With the launch of the Galaxy S26 Ultra phone, the company made this mode available to end users for the first time, and users of the Galaxy S25 Ultra phone will be able to access this feature in the beta version of the new One UI 8.5 interface. Thus, the Galaxy Z Fold7 becomes the third phone that allows users to take advantage of Ambient Mode freely. This mode was specifically designed to facilitate taking high-quality photos and videos underwater without the need to possess professional water photography skills, emphasizing the necessity of placing the phone inside a diving case when using it in salt water to ensure its protection from damage.
Ambient mode offers a time-lapse feature that automatically takes a photo every two, five, or ten seconds, making it easy to document special moments comfortably. Samsung’s smart software handles the task of correcting white balance, colors and contrast completely automatically, in addition to treating motion blur by choosing a faster shutter speed to compensate for the user’s movement underwater, which ensures obtaining pure and clear shots, while users who want to know more precise details about this mode can visit the official Samsung website.
