Why does it take longer to take a high-resolution photo with your Galaxy S23 Ultra?
When taking high resolution images, the interval between shots may be longer compared to normal resolution images because an image with a larger number of pixels requires more time to process.
Please note: Image processing time may increase if you shoot multiple high-resolution images in succession.
The Galaxy S23 Ultra can take high-resolution images (up to 200 million pixels) with deep learning-based image processing technology.
So, during the processing time it is normal to see “Loading” displayed when shooting instantly or entering the gallery immediately after shooting.
Changing the image resolution will change the time needed to process the image.
How to change the image resolution
If you select 200MP or 50MP in the shooting options, you can take high-resolution photos.
- 200MP: 200 million pixels.
- 50MP: 50 million pixels.
Please note: The 200mp resolution option is only available with the Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Step 1. Open the Camera app on your Samsung Galaxy phone.
Step 2. Tap the image ratio and resolution icon.
Step 3. Select the ratio and resolution with the image size you want.
