Samsung has one of the most interactive camera apps that allows Galaxy smartphone users to take pictures and record videos. However, the One UI 7.0 has redesigned the camera app, including a new Pro mode.
The layout overhaul is the key significance of the new camera app, which reduced the number of options from the camera view. Instead, Samsung has put all the less-used options in one basket on the bottom right inside the four dots.
This simplification enables users to focus on the subject without being distracted by tons of on-screen options. This happens when all necessary controls remain available in the bottom area. Similarly, One UI 7.0 has shared these upgrades to the Pro/Pro Video camera modes.
Pro mode provides manual controls for settings including ISO, shutter speed, and exposure levels, white balance, and more for a customized camera experience. On the other hand, the normal mode automatically adjusts these things before and after you press the capture button. Here’s what you should know about the changes and upgrades.
Layout
The menu bar on the top has been minimized and captures less space as well as reduced height compared to One UI 6. It keeps only five options, which may vary based on the supported models.
Note: The One UI 6.x has an additional telephoto button on Ultra models.

Controls section
All features are shifted to the bottom area with the following changes
- The Pro mode label has moved to the bottom side, which previously sat on top of the capture button
- The Pro mode label was replaced by zoom controls, which used to be on top of the manual settings on the camera view.
- A menu button is added with a slide-in animation, including all of the remaining options and features.
- The manual camera setting remains in camera view with big weight reduction
Camera view
The UI cleanup contributes to an improved camera view and helps users to focus on the subject to capture a high-quality image.
Front camera support
Another thing to notice is that the new Pro mode has front camera support. You can use the camera switch button beside the capture button or swipe up or down on the camera view to change to front or rear cameras.
New features
Besides the overhaul, the pro mode brings a new Exposure monitor for Pro and Pro video modes. That helps you achieve the right exposure in your photographs and videos.
This feature is off by default, but you can choose the Zebra pattern to show stripes on areas that are under- or over-exposed. False color option color-code everything based on exposure level. Just like the video mode, Pro video mode also enables a new zoom slider for smooth transitions.
