March 7, 2025

The camera settings on the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold6 allow users to adjust various aspects of photo and video capture. Users can modify settings such as aspect ratio (e.g., 3:4 or 9:6), exposure, color balance, and autofocus performance. Some settings, like the two-times crop zoom shortcut, require downloading the Camera Assistant app from the Galaxy Store. These settings help improve image quality and user experience by providing better control over camera functions.
