Next-gen cameras on the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra

What is so good about the 200MP camera?

The 200MP main camera is the Galaxy Z Fold8’s showstopper. It’s enhanced with HDR (High Dynamic Range) — meaning you can capture richer and more balanced photos and videos and ensure that those sunset drinks on the first night of your holiday now look better than ever.

Pro-users can wield the 200MP main camera to produce professional-grade business visuals and vibrant real-life memories with perfectly balanced exposure, eliminating dark or blurry elements even in mixed lighting.

Is your child playing in the distance or an animal moving across the back of the garden? With a huge 200MP resolution, subjects in the distance are still captured with an amazing level of clarity. All you have to do is zoom in or crop afterwards and you’ll still have enough detail to give you a great shot.

What can I use the Ultra Wide camera for?

The Ultra Wide camera on the rear of the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra can capture large and wide group project visuals as well as breathtaking architectural pieces. If the shot isn’t working with the main camera, just switch up to the Ultra Wide with the press of a button, and suddenly that landmark you’ve always wanted to photograph fits effortlessly into the shot.

The Ultra Wide camera is a significant step up from its predecessor, now with a new 50MP sensor – perfect for those large family gatherings or wedding group shots. You can also use the Ultra Wide camera to capture awe-inspiring sunsets and expansive landscapes and see every detail with a wider perspective.

Image processing like a pro

How does the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra perfect my video calls?

On both the cover and main display front cameras, you’ll find AI ISP, which optimises micro-details such as skin texture in real-time, ensuring you look professional and presentable during client video calls. The AI ISP technology also works for any type of selfie photo or video, so when it’s time to let your mates back home know what you’re up to, you’ll never have looked better. AI ISP boosts skin tones and microdetails, even down to the thinnest of hair strands.

Can I capture steady video with the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra?

Thanks to the Super Steady feature with Horizontal Lock, your videos are captured vibration-free and smooth. By utilising the built-in gimbal and locking the horizon dynamically, it doesn’t matter if you’re on a bumpy safari ride or on a roller coaster; whatever you’re doing, your handheld footage is always smooth and steady.

Does the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra take good photos at night?

Nighttime photos are crisp and noise-free courtesy of a built-in Nightography feature that allows you to capture stunning late-night details without needing complex studio lighting. So, if you’re out with friends in the city or around the campfire with family, you’ll be the one with the photos that everyone else is envious of.

I’m a social media creator. What features are there for me?

The Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra boasts a dedicated social media feature called MyFanCam, which instantly reframes footage to keep the action centred and in focus, automatically tracking the subject as they move. The end result is perfectly framed, social-ready videos without the need for manual cropping. All you have to worry about is framing everything in shot, and MyFanCam will take care of the rest so every moment stays front and centre.

Capturing media is only the beginning

Can I clean up my photos after they’ve been captured?

Absolutely. With the Photo Assist feature, you can effortlessly remove distracting objects or realign visual layouts with simple prompts. Marketing professionals and social media content creators will love the ability to make every shot picture-perfect before posting out to the world. It’s also possible to see your final creation side by side with the original shot to make sure you’re happy with everything.

The Clear Case and Clear Magnet Case are perfect additions to the Galaxy Z Fold8 Ultra because they keep the original design visible while adding a vital layer of protection. Both cases also feature anti-yellowing and anti-fingerprint coatings, which keep the case looking clear and clean over time, without discolouration or smudging.
