Maximum Flexibility<\/span><\/h5>\n

The Galaxy Fold\u2019s unique folding form factor is designed to help you capture photos and videos exactly the way you want. The latest update brings maximum flexibility to this innovative camera experience.<\/p>\n

Shooting with\u00a0Auto framing<\/strong>\u00a0is like having a dedicated cameraman by your side. Depending on how many people are in front of the camera, the feature zooms in or out to ensure the Galaxy Fold captures the moment. It can track motion to keep the subject centrally framed.<\/p>\n

Capture View Mode<\/strong>\u00a0lets you capture and review photos in real-time. It shows you up to five of the latest photos or videos on the left side of the Main Screen, while giving you a preview of your next shot on the other half.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dual Preview<\/strong>\u00a0enhances the collaboration between the subject and the photographer by\u00a0showing a preview of the image on both the Cover and Main Screens<\/strong>\u00a0of Galaxy Fold. This feature also works with video in Pro Video mode.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The latest update lets you maximize the power of the Galaxy Fold\u2019s rear camera, even when you are taking selfies. Simply open the Camera app on the Cover Screen and activate\u00a0Rear Cam Selfie<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Pro Video Mode on the Galaxy Fold now comes with more capturing (21:9 ratio and 24fps video) and creative functions (histogram, focus peaking), while Single Take lets you capture up to 15 seconds of content to deliver a selection of best moments in photos and video.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Stay Seamlessly Connected<\/span><\/h5>\n

Forget about repeating long, complicated Wi-Fi passwords to your friends and family. With the Galaxy Fold, you can now\u00a0directly share the password of the Wi-Fi you are connected<\/strong>\u00a0to trusted Galaxy devices that are near you.<\/p>\n

The updated Wi-Fi feature can also show you the speed of nearby connections (Very Fast, Fast, Normal Slow) to help you easily find one that\u2019s suitable.<\/p>\n
