You Might Actually Use Pro Mode With This Galaxy Camera Update

• One UI 8.5 may add Pro Camera Presets to save and recall custom camera settings quickly.

• Makes Pro Mode easier: no more guessing ISO, shutter speed, or white balance every time.

• Shareable presets via Quick Share could let users swap and publish pro settings easily.

Samsung Galaxy phones have some of the best cameras on the market, and if you know what you're doing, Pro Mode can take your photos to the next level. However, that's the problem—not everyone knows what they're doing. The controls are not exactly user-friendly, and Samsung is working on something that could make it better.

Even if you're not a professional photographer, you probably know that Pro Mode means adjusting things like ISO, shutter speed, and white balance. But you're not alone if you don't fully understand what they all mean. You go in, spend two minutes fidgeting with sliders until it looks good to your eye, and then snap the photo. The next time you try to capture a similar shot, you have to start the process all over again.

Samsung's upcoming One UI 8.5 update , according to code leaks, is finally fixing this with "Pro Camera Presets." Think of them as custom bookmarks for your camera settings. Once you dial in your favorite combination of settings—maybe low ISO, long exposure for a starry night, or a specific manual color tune for your food pics—you can save it to the camera with a custom name.

The next time you want to snap a pic of the night sky, you don't have to remember the specific ISO or shutter speed settings that you used. Just select your "Night Sky" preset, and all those tedious controls snap into place instantly. As someone who generally doesn't use Pro Mode, this would lower the barrier to entry. I don't like that I have to start from scratch every time. Having a handful of presets would make it more accessible.

What's even more interesting is the potential for sharing. The leaks suggest you'll be able to send these Pro Presets to other Galaxy users via "Quick Share." It would be especially cool if people were able to share these presets online as well. Samsung isn't the only brand that offers a "Pro Mode" with its camera app, but this would make it a practical tool for everyday use, not just an advanced menu you open once and then forget exists.
