Camera: action shots

[YaniCruz]

First of all loving the phone!!! Coming from a note 8 and the upgrade is big!! Love the camera specially!!

Just wondering is there a setting for action shots?? Like for little active kids running around and constantly moving?? Anything to stabilize the hand maybe so they don't come out as blurry? Thanks!!

There may be an action shot but I've found burst mode can work well, depending. This orange car was driving by while I waited at a light

You posted in the Note10 Cases/Accessories forum -- was that a mistake, or did you want to ask more about accessories that might physically stabilize the phone? You might get a more robust response about the camera itself in the main Note10 forum.

erm,im guessing its for videos?just tap on the subject on the screen and the focus will follow the subject.

if you meant photos then i suggest using Pro Mode.higher ISO and faster Shutterspeed.

but thats about it...its just a phone after all.even the P30 Pro will have trouble with kids xD

I've seen a few people comment on that. Does the tracking auto-focus not help? I haven't tried it but I know there's a setting. Its supposed to keep the camera focused when the subject moves.

tracking focus helps.but it doesnt work for max resolution...maybe OP uses max resolution.

Burst mode helps, and is better than the Note 9. What worked really well was Sports mode, but they took it away in Note 9. I eve found it to download, and it wouldnt install i still dont understand why they took that from us-it worked really well for action shots.

Km either shooting scenery and random crap, my friends.. or my kitty who's always ru nning around doing crazy ish. With Sports mode i got clean action shots most of the time. I miss it.

Welcome to blurry hell. Been bothering me since I got the phone. Might return it just for this and go back to pixel phones. Have few more days to decide...

But the way, blurry hell is really bad in doors when light is not as bright. I was out with my 20 months old kid yesterday and camera did much better outside than inside.

Significantly more light outdoors than inside allowing for much faster shutter speeds and thus much better for freezing action.

Yep, happy with the results outside with moving kids but not inside hehehe. Still, Samsung way over expose pictures. Not a bad camera, just does things differently.

Awesome! Looks like it wasn't moving at all. I'll have to use burst more.

Nice! Did you use the burst shot??

So camera wise is this on par with pixel? P30 pro?

I haven't tried to do action shots yet, but I would think, although not ideal, that of you're recording in video, you can take a picture of the video and get the action shot that way.

Your scenario wasn't much better on my Pixel. This phone does a great job. Do you have the Plus or regular 10?
