I love camera reviews when done by actual photographers because they are extremely detailed, and the photos shown are absolutely incredible.
Very kind thanks
Great job! Very informative video. Seeing your actual photos and settings is very helpful. I have the S22 Ultra and I just took a photo fo the moon at 100X zoom that looks amazing.
Thanks! Oh where can we see the photo?
@@robmulally I am not a professional photographer and I am not a big social media fan, so I have not posted it.
I had to rest the phone on a sign post to keep it steady enough, but once I steadied the phone, the picture came into focus and it is amazing. Since you use a tripod, you will be able to reproduce what I did very easily. The photo abilities of the S22 Ultra are off-the-charts.
I took the picture on full auto mode, but I would like to take some photos in 16 bit raw mode to see how they come out. I have downloaded Samsung's RAW app and I want to experiment with it.
I did too
Same. This phone is great
Does the ai moon stuff work in pro mode too?
UA-cam recommended the video and I immediately got hooked. Subscribing. Got my S22 ultra and really liked the way you have fully utilised the Pro mode and other standard camera features. Looking forward to more videos on this camera beast. 👍
Cheers! How you finding the camera?
Man Rob you never cease to amaze and inspire with these videos man. I'm getting the 22 Ultra this summer. I can live without the headphone jack and micro SD card that Sony offers since the S22 Ultra has the best balance between auto and professional photo and video options built in.
Very kind thanks
this has to be hands down the best video review of the s22 ultra cameras on the entire internet. I am also proud you're an Australian too! hahah
Ahh thanks Zac, where you based?
Nerd Rob needs his own UA-cam channel! Will subscribe and pay for content behind a pay wall. So great mate. Loved the knowloedge your sharing in this video, art vs science always a fascinating topic and worth the deep dive
Oh i love that idea, ! I never considered Art vs Science before! I wonder if the Art world argues about what brand paintbrush they are loyal to the most hehe
Such a great video! I love how you took the time to explain your thought process and methodology for each shot. As a professional photographer myself I really enjoy seeing how others in the field think and work their magic.
I have only just started using my phone (S22 Ultra) for proper photography as it's the first phone camera I'm actually happy to shoot with.
Looking forward to seeing more of these kind of videos, especially if you end up getting an S22 for yourself. Also, I'm sure you already have the Samsung expert RAW camera app, which is arguably much better than the standard camera Pro mode. It would be awesome to see some more similar videos using the expert RAW app.
Ahh thanks for the feedback. It's interesting to hear the phrase " proper photography" but I get what you mean? What made you start thinking about mobile photography like this now?
@@robmulally well, admittedly I'm still not sure I wouldn't use my phone for a paid job over my actual camera gear. But I must admit that I am actually impressed by what this phone can do. I actually bought a tripod attachment for it today which is something I never thought I'd ever get for a phone lol.
I know this might sound silly but up until now I've not really ever used my phones as cameras as I've never been happy with the quality. It doesn't help that my last 2 phones prior to this one had faulty hardware issues with their cameras/lenses that Samsung refused to fix.

Awesome. You showed the capability of the phone.
I always thought with most phones they were never properly setup to shine the light properly.
Obviously most of us present company included.
Can't operate the phone to get those shots. The advances ability of the phone certainly makes a big difference in the right hands. Best Video to date on the proper us of the camera.Most of us just use Auto mode for pictures. We have these abilities we never use in our phones.
😎
Cheers, Rob. Great video and tips. Got myself an S22 Ultra last week and found out that it makes a great little camera. A highlight of your video for me personally was finding that the pen acts as a remote control to the camera. Going to be using that moving forward. Just sub'd your channel and look forward to future content. Keep up the great work.
Ahh cheers! It's easy to miss small things like that so I'm happy you got that!!
You should have at least 1M subs. Absolutely amazing content!
Very kind.
This is the best smartphone photography video I've seen in my life, thank you for all the tips :D
Ahh glad you liked it!
This was very Helpful & informative, thanks!
I do love the camera on the S 22 ultra, my first phone was a Samsung V200, with a 0.3 magapicel camera, come a long way since then.
wow! yes a very long way
I have the Note 20 Ultra and have been vacillating been getting S22 Ultra or just keeping the Note. I took the leap based off this video. I'm no expert but u kind of showed what the phone can do. If not I have a return window... New subbie and hopefully you'll do more in depth on shoot set ups and editing using S22 Ultra. Thx!
How you finding it! What you like to take photos of?
Great video. Would love a quick tutorial from you for basics within lightroom. I use snapseed usually but quite new to it so may look into lightroom
Oh cool! I started using snapseed as well, what sort of things do you find yourself wanting to edit in snapseed? it might be enough for now, but it was one of the first easy to use editors on android and also the first that allowed proper importing of DNG (RAW) files, I think lightroom took over in the last couple of years mainly because of some of their paid features , so don't be too quick to jump , usually "not" being able to "do" something you need is the real reason to switch.
@@robmulally thanks Rob. Honestly I'm pretty new to photo editing, I only started using snapseed about 6 months ago but I'm trying to get more and more into it. I usually use it to do things like focusing on certain areas to reduce noise, or make something pop a bit
The pictures I take of the moon with this phone are spectacular. When you look at the screen it's blurry, then after the picture snaps it renders a clear detailed picture. It's amazing
Ahh its been so cloudy here but I need to try it again! yeah it is cool when it works well! I think it takes a few photos and combines them hence the little delay, similar to night mode , but because the moon is so bright it needs its own mode.
Amazing work, excited to see more of your content!
Thanks Andy
This is so dope, I can't wait to check out your course.
Ahh cheers. keep an eye out!
Great work Rob, such details. Loved your creative process.
Cheers it's a bit scary showing behind the scenes
Just got this phone. Wasn't sure whether to bother trying photography but thus has inspired me to give it.a go. Thanks.
Awesome! You had much experience before? Let me know if you need any pointers
Awesome mate 👏
Cheers mate
Got mine today, looking forward to getting out and having a play with it soon
What you like to shoot?
Anything really, scenery, buildings, random things. I'll have to get a tripod setup for it for night shots etc
@@oges74 with night mode you really will be surprised what you can do without a tripod! But yeah it does help
Came across your video to learn more about my S21 Ultra for backup, B roll and other social media photography/ video while on my travels. Then I saw you're in Sydney....😲 making this a win, win!
I learned my S21 does more than I thought it could and you showed cool places to photograph!! 2 questions for you Rob;
Could you please tell me where that tunnel is? Would love to try it myself while visiting Oct. 2023. 😊
And should I up grade to S22? That pen feature does look like a plus, but has the camera upgraded enough to be worth it??🤔
This is the video I was looking for 👏🏼
Glad you got something out of it? What for the next one?
Just found your channel and damn! Very nice video, mate. Subscribed and followed your socials. Keep up the great work
Also, the ending was amazing!
haha thanks for watching the ending :) sometimes I just do things that I find funny and forget that its going onto the internet.
Thank you ❤
It's a shame it doesn't have an sd card slot for the huge amount of storage photos and videos need, can't really comprehend why they got rid of it.
Besides that, good phone👍
I think I know why!! 😍😍😍 I might do a video on that...
@@robmulally looking forward to it ;)
Excellent video, thanks!
This guy is so professional like I love the content
Ahh thanks.
Good. I am always curious for New tips
Great video
Instantly subscribed so as to help you 👍 , and btw I think you did a great job composing all of it , and the explanations too. Some more tips and advice could be nice next time . Cheers
Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I might do something in depth any suggestions on what first?
Finally someone making a video about pro mode. I appreciate that! I think you use too much Lightroom after, which in my opinion makes it irrelevant if the photo was made on pro mode or not.. my best photo was taken on the GalaxyS7 pro mode, same exact Joro spider (how can i show it to you?). Now i have a Note20Ultra, but the manual green focus year by year is imprecise on pro mode, so it's always a matter of luck. Obviously your S22ultra works better.
Glad you liked it.! What do you mean by use too much Lightroom? can you elaborate ?
@@robmulally i shouldn't have said that, I'm sorry, you proved a point very well at 6:33 and it's up to you how much you play around with the editing, as long as the raw file allows you.
@@leofurda feel free to send me the photo via Instagram or email btw
Wonderful tutorial!!!
Finally a good review on the phone I own everything out there is iPhone there needs to be more done with this phone and and definitely from a photographer's point of view I used to shoot cannon a long time ago and I'm looking to do more with my actual cell phone Please put out another video with the S22 ultra this would be great especially with video and logging as well as maybe maybe some fine art photography or boudoir
Thanks for the comments. What challenges are you facing moving from canon to phone?
@@robmulally when I use video it seems to go in and out of focus at times. Hunting issues
@@everydayrants663 what subjects are you filming and are you tapping screen to set focus/exposure point? Also try pro video and tap focus it's not as scary as it looks but you can manually set focus or tap and hold to split brightness and focus points
@@robmulally I used to do photography and I'm pretty good with video as well it's just that if I tap to focus on filming like vlogging I noticed that most the time it's clear but once in a while it will shift focus for some reason I'm not sure why it does that I don't necessarily think I have to tap to focus and lock focus on filming video I'm not really feeling myself I'm usually filming my surroundings. I'm just wondering why it did that? But other than that I'm pretty happy with the results
Physics genius 👐🏼
Haha
Great, informative and inspirational video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
There was a lot of stuff I didn't know even existed in my phone that I now know about and will be using.
Amazing video!!! Seriously top notch.
Thanks
Extremely helpful video. Many thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Would love to see Sone more footage of you photographing wirh the S22 ultra. Looks Amazing!
Noted!
Doesn't matter how good the camera, everything in my hand can result in a $50 quality photo. That's a gift, I say
Absolutely fantastic shots man!👌🏻 You've given me a few ideas for future shoots 🙏🏻 Ive noticed that I get better results with Expert Raw over the main pro mode, although much slower the Expert Raw gives you an HDR Raw file so much more leeway in Lr in terms of DR, you should give it a go.
Ahh really? I didn't notice it have to test it out, thanks!
But when you zoom in Expert Raw photos, they lack details and look oversharpened compared to the normal pro mode. Have you noticed that?
@@roozbehabbasi2497 it sounds like I need to do some testing....
@@roozbehabbasi2497 if you edit the Raw files in Lr you control the sharpness so I don't get what you're saying.
Great video and tutorial pls do more like this 😀
Anything specific you want to learn?
WOW...great video🔥🔥🔥
glad you liked it.
Thanks so much!!
Gran video, podrías hacer un video en profundidad sobre Lightroom para s22 Ultra?
Amazing editing, you should give some lightroom phone tutorial!
this video is soo helpful you are amazing thanks brother .
glad it was useful!
This is fkin mental. I had no idea you could do any of this stuff on a phone camera 😮
haha, glad you liked it, a camera is a camera!
@@robmulally I have a question. I've noticed that sometimes when you press the focus ring and it splits in two, to move the focus and metering to different spots, it won't split and has a little padlock. Why is that and what am I missing or doing wrong?
Thx
@@pauldavidson317 oh! Easy! When using the normal camera it is exposure compensation and then you can lock it to part of the frame, in theory should hold Between shots (like sky). The split of focus and exposure happens in the pro mode camera
Just wow
Awesome video thanks for your efforts.
very welcome!
Would love a video on editing using the S pen via the phone
Ok mate
U ARE WATCHING A MASTER AT WORK. AAA
Very kind
wow, amazing photos. almost unthinkable that they were taken on a smartphone
Very kind thanks!
You super skill, nice job, coming from my old Nikon d300 , I'm excited to get the ultra, how do u do double exposure lock of high light and shadow? Thanks
You tap and hold when in pro mode ( I think you asking how to split the exposure and focus?)
Great video
Thanks
Really love it. 💕
I missing a few tricks not using s-pen with Bluetooth. Although have been lightroom and expert raw. I found the 108 mpixel images in lightroom after a little bit contrast editing look quite good. Anyway merely an amateur here. Keep up the good vids.
CHeers! yeah the pen is useful! I dont use a lot but its really great when you need it! I mostly just shoot non 108mp but I will try and do some testing soon to see if i should change :)
your photos are sick!
Oh thanks!
Use the preview on the Galaxy watch, very handy!!
It's that a built in app now? What watch and OS VERSION you have?
I don't know who you are but I'm 2 minutes into this video and I think I love you? I came here to learn how to utilize features on my new phone. Not to be wooed.
haha, very kind thanks.
Great video, what would be a good or great gimbal for the s22 ultra?
I've so far just been using the DJI ones, i didn't use them at first as the stabilisation is pretty good but it does make a difference, and you can keep the wide angle and not loose crop etc, but if you have other brands you want me to test out lmk.
I'm just a hobbiest, who takes cosplay photos for my girlfriend and friends. But my camera is old~. A Nikkon D3300.
I have wanted to upgrade at some point, but I just got the Sasung s22 Ultra (coming tomorrow). And looking at your amazing shots, it blows my old DSLR away (not surprising in the least).
So until the day I do get a new DSLR, I was thinking of trying out using the S22 for shooting.
I just wanted to know, is there any way to get the speedlight to work with it?
I have some goddox speedlights and an XPro N which I used on my Nikon.
Can't try it until my phone shows up, but even then it seems Godox uses its own app for the photos. And it seems rather limited. I was wondering if there is anyway to use Samsungs Pro mode, and get it to work the off camera flash? Even if it needs a certain trigger or even flashes.
Probably a pipe dream but thought I'd ask and see if you knew. Trying to find anything on UA-cam about it doesn't get the best results, or gets me iPhone stuff.
Ok so this is a tricky one. I don't know of any way to trigger, but now I really want to as I also have some flashes .. sync fast flash is hard but if it's in a dark spot you could manually trigger flash if it's the only light source or.. all other source is dark. Let me do a Google and find out if there is anything I can find for connection.
@@robmulally Thats all interesting information. And thanks! Hope you manage to find some info, might make an interesting vid idea to look into.
Found this on a blog : Bluetooth functionality now built into the Godox X2T and Flashpoint R2 Pro Mark II , i had a look and it seems x2t did support some android but I'm not sure about new phones, I might see if I can find an email for godox to ask them.
@@robmulally oh wow! Thanks for going so far to find out. Really going above and beyond here ^^;
i'm mesmerized with the photos and editing lol
Stunning work…
Great video 👍🏻👍🏻
Like Rob, like the video, love the photos but didn’t enjoy the musical background. Thankfully the volume was kept down . Thanks Rob
Thanks for the feedback.! Yeah I was wondering if I need it.
Holy sht why did I just discovered you now? 🔥
haha very kind but I don't make many videos! Let me know what you want to see next! I really enjoy helping people.
@@robmulally would love to see a photography 101 for nooobs and dummy like me 😂😂😂😂😂
@@INCOGNITO-kd5ub ok!! Can do that! What do you like taking photos just "life" stuff or ??
@@robmulally just basic photography using purely what a normal person like me would have in our home coz not everybody has lighting equips/props. All we use is our mobile phones and the sunlight 😂 I recently had a new baby and we do a monthly photo, tips on angles/lighting to make it look prof 🙏 I'm sure alot of people will like it coz pregnancy is at all time high due to pandemic 😂😂😂😂
@@INCOGNITO-kd5ub haha ok let me make a baby and I'll get back to you:-)
s22 ultra 🔥🔥
You have one!?!
@@robmulally yes ..
The price is too high.😇
@@ragavar4481 damn , what you have now?
Thanks
hey Rob, Cool video. I was curious: what stand/holder do you use for holding your S22 Ultra?
Btw, i mean at 6:02
Tripod Mount I use :
AU: amzn.to/3jmAtjz
USA: amzn.to/3fKX62Z
Can directly on some tripods but had screws for plates that are needed
S21 ultra vs s22 base which is better camera
Please post some more video with pro mode of s22 ultra how to use it for taking street photography..as in to capture moving subject
Sure! adding to my list!
we all need an sd card slot! I have the s21 and not having external memory is very annoying. especially when all my previous photos are on it and I only have light room on my phone 🤔
Yes, I understand this pain! I was going to make a whole video on this, what is your SD card size (amount) of photos, and how big is your current phone storage? just curious?
@@robmulally I have the biggest capacity, I'm not sure on the spec. But its actually been fine, I've not needed any external memory.
@@SHANDEE2 I'm curious you using cloud storage at all? I've had to build a bit if a workflow for getting things on and off etc so curious what others are doing
Great video it convinced me to subscribe and like, also can you do another video using Expert Raw. Thanks.
Will do!! And thanks!
Love it! 😘😘😘😘
Thank you! Cheers!
Amazing video mate. Ill have to play a bit with my camera and the settings to get some cool shots like yours. Btw love the green S22 ultra 🙌
Nice video a great editing skills one more sub 4 U :)
Hello. I am writing to you from Turkey. I am using Fuji XT30. But there is no Stabilization in this camera and there is a problem when shooting video. Which FUji SX10- Samsung 22 ultra should I buy for my commercial business (Wedding, Event) videos?
Thomas brodie Aka Newt from Maze Runner hosting the video😂😂
haha almost!
I noticed that the new Lightroom AI denoise algorithm doesn't work with this phone's recent DNG files.
I went back to RAW photos I shot in December, and guess what? Those RAW photos can be denoised by the new LR algorithm!
After digging deeper, I realised that something happend in between.
Most likely, a firmware update screwed things up.
When analysing the EXIF data, we can clearly see that the new DNGs are not uncompressed RAW anymore, but Linear RAW with embedded JPEG compression.
This explains why LR AI Denoise doesn't work on these files anymore
I suspect that the problem started sometimes in April, when Expert RAW was added as an option inside the default camera app, in Pro mode.
Expert RAW always had these linear RAW files (since these are HDR DNGs), and I suspect that when the two things were combined, the Expert RAW DNG generating algoritm replaced the original RAW algorithm. Not good.
Also, as a side note: The x3 and x10 sensors have 10Mpix native resolution (3648 x 2736), but the outputs of Expert RAW and the regular camera app in photo mode are 12Mpix (4000 x 3000)!
So Expert RAW is upscaling the output of the x3 and x10 cameras. This is not what RAW files are supposed to do. It only confirms that the DNG is in fact a JPEG file in a DNG container.
This is good info! I personally have found the new AI denoise to be slow so haven't been using it much, I'll have to keep an eye on the Expert Raw, I'm just happy you can now use the Pen to take photos in expert raw on S23 Ultra haha. Have you found any other major differences in Pro Mode vs Expert Raw, I feel like expert raw almost a testing ground before features moved over?
@robmulally The slowness depends on how powerful your GPU and your CPU are. It's OK for me, but as I said, you can't use it at all with the new Samsung DNGs. I am using Topaz AI instead, which is almost as good.
Expert RAW has 16bits/pixel/color, because it combines 3 (I guess) photos using HDR. Thus, it has more info/pixel than the Pro DNGs.
So when using the x1 and x0.6 cameras, Expert RAW may be preferred if you can tolerate the lag between photos (requierd to align and combine the individual HDR shots). This is an annoyance when you want to make panoramas involving 5-6 consecutive DNGs.
For the x3 and x10, Expert RAW is an abomination because of the upscaling mentioned above. So, the Pro mode is preferred.
great video, could you make a detailed video on photo editing with s23 ultra spen? i take macro shots of diamonds and would love to compare pro gear to what the phone can do. thanks
Noted!
I'm curious what sort of setup do you use? for lights etc
The most important thing is the guy behind the camera. I just know I wouldn't have the creative mind to think of these compositions
Awesome
What tripod do you use?
Like your style. What are you working on instruction video?
Yeah starting with Mobile Photography, do you have questions I can answer in the videos?
want to love the S22 Ultra, but the iPhone still produces far more natural photos out of the box, especially with blues. I want a camera that gives me results as close to what my eyes see as possible, not contrast and vibrance for added style. Sure, there's raw editing, but most people just want to point and click. I am hoping this can be addressed with a software update.
Interesting I found the s22 to be very undersaturated, have you tried it or just comparing to What Samsung did in the past?
iPhones photos is really not that natural.
I had no idea the singer from Sugar Ray makes videos about taking photos now.
the internet is a magical place.
You look good in the Panasonic Pony of Hope t-shirt. 5 stars.
Finally someone noticed!! Haha 5 stars for you!!!
Where is the detail enhancer option? I have an S22 Ultra and haven't seen that option anywhere.
While i haven't used it you need to set the top 3:4 to 3:4 108mp and it will appear in bottom of the shooting window in normal camera. I don't use 108mp very often but its there if you need it
We would like to see expert raw full res samples, and if you can upload the photos fr this video to full res 3d party website?
This was a pre release phone. I can look to do that when I have a retail device. I really don't like the expert raw app. What do you want the images for?
@@robmulally to crop in for geek purposes 😁
Pixel peeping
@@robmulally why don't you like the expert raw app?
Who has the time to edit the photos one by one so what’s meaning of the camera on the phone in that case we must buy a photography camera.
Why is called "pro photography tips " in the title. You don't have to edit them the camera does a great job. Especially night mode etc, but I'm into photography not just life snap shots. I've shown you can do both on this phone.
Are you exposure blending like you would create an hdr i.e. using 3 or more shots at different exposures?
Where sorry, for phone videos I would only do this if I stated it, otherwise would be miss leading. But that's how the night mode kinda work and auto mode I'm sure has a built in hdr. But if you let me know what part of video I can answer in more detail.
@@robmulally ah okay, I thought you were doing anything special like taking several shots to enhance DR in contrasty conditions. Thanks for replying.
Mine won t charge keeps saying moisture remove plug only had it a month any suggestions
Hi! did you manage to resolve this, if you have tried multiple charge cables, this usually means inside the usb c port there is something causing a short circuit between two pins, (usually debris or after salt water dries up) - Turn the phone off and see if you can use some Isopropyl ( great for circuits as it evaporates at room temp) if you break a chopstick or toothpick you can get a small "soft wood" point, use that to scrape the pins inside the usb c port. be very gentle and see if you can dig out debris or clean pins of anything that is shorting them. let me know if this helps , I have had this before with another phone and lucky the wireless charing kept me charged until i figured this out, if this doesn't help you might have a damanged usb c port.
❤️
If i understand this right.... its a great camera we just need to learn how to use it. I get you.
how do you set manual focus on tunnel self portrait? moving focus and try taking images? why not leave it on auto?
There are a few reasons, Auto focus might not work in complex light enviroments, it also adds a small delay when taking a photo on any camera, if i'm going to be in the same location (Distance from camera) its a variable i can remove (delay + bad or incorrect focus) So I set it manually in the pro mode. Hope that makes sense.
Great video but you do it all so quick slow down for the ones who don’t know where all the setting are
Cheers yeah it wasn't supposed to be a tutorial but I see your point! Thanks for the feedback!
@@robmulally still was great thanks . Have seen a few tutorials on the camera but all do it so quick hard to follow,
1. Does anyone know the frame rates for Super Slow-Mo and for Slow Motion?
2. Also, do you think "Record when motion detected" in Super Slow-Mo will be activated by the tiny International Space Station passing in front of the magnified sun?
Nice review, thanks, try to speak a bit slower next so we can understand you better (if possible)
Can do!
Is the app called night room 👀👀
Lightroom?
