Use the Camera app on the Galaxy S22 series

One of the exciting things about a new line of Galaxy smartphones is the camera! You can photograph and film tons of fun content on your Galaxy S22 Series smartphone, with features like Object Image Stabilization, Night Portrait, and Auto Framing. Use Night Portrait when taking selfies with your best pals at nighttime, or grab crisp videos with Object Image Stabilization. Auto Framing focuses on individuals in your group for a seamless video. Plus, you can use some classic features like Director’s View and Single Take.
