SINGLE TAKE

One take and that's a wrap play

Shot of a group of friends outside roller skating becomes multiple images and short clips with various filters and cropping effects applied.

Record one take and Single Take turns it into feed-worthy photos and videos you can pick and choose from.5, 6 It’s like a personal video editor, chopping up, slowing down and stabilizing to create content you can upload straight to Instagram.

Scene of woman riding a skateboard down the street shot on Galaxy S21 Plus 5G in Phantom Black. One shot with Galaxy S21 Plus 5G without Super Steady, and the other shot with Super Steady. The one shot with Super Steady is clear and detailed.

Super Steady begs for action. Now that we’ve combined AI stabilization with 60fps capture, your adventures can get a bit more adventurous — since your phone shoots like an action cam.

Super Smooth 60fps Video lets you relive the moment without skipping a beat. Dynamic frame rate in FHD Auto Mode delivers a fast 60fps to capture smoother video during the day — then switches to 30fps for brighter video in low light.

DIRECTOR'S VIEW

You're right in the director's chair

Take advantage of the multi-camera system by shooting with multiple cameras all at once. Director's View lets you switch up the angle as you record — and even shoot with front and rear cameras at the same time.

The screen of Galaxy S21 Plus 5G is split in half in Directors View mode. On one half is the woman holding the camera, being captured with the Selfie Camera, and on the other half is two women in front of a birthday cake, being captured with the Rear Camera. They celebrate and dance, and a gift gets handed to the birthday celebrant. We can see the whole party from two different angles with Director's View.
