Samsung’s Single Take camera mode on the Galaxy S21 isn’t a gimmick for newbies
how use samsung single take 2 galaxy s21 ultra camera over jigsaw

Do you never want to miss a photo opportunity, but sometimes aren’t sure if a photo or video will work best to capture the moment? Samsung’s Single Take mode is for you. It leans on Samsung’s enhanced artificial intelligence (A.I.), comprehensive editing suite, and multiple cameras to take all the work out of making sure you’ve got the entire scene covered, and all you have to do is point your phone in the right direction.

Don’t think this is just a gimmick or something only useful to those who aren’t experienced photographers. It’s much more than that. Single Take launched on the Galaxy S20 series, but it’s back for the Galaxy S21 series and has been upgraded to Single Take 2.0 at the same time. I've been using it on the Galaxy s21 Ultra, and here’s what’s new, and how to get the best from this unusual and very helpful feature.
What you need to use Single Take 2.0
You need a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, Samsung Galaxy S21 Plus, or a Samsung Galaxy S21. These all have the latest One UI 3.1 software onboard, while the cameras and processor are competent and powerful enough to operate Single Take 2.0. While it’s likely version 2.0 will make it to other older Samsung phones in the future, not every feature will be included, as some are only made possible by the superior A.I. and other technology inside the S21 phones.
What does Single Take 2.0 do?
Single Take creates 14 different individual compositions from a single short video clip, ranging from a “golden” best shot, a black-and-white photo, and a filtered still, to a boomerang-style video, a slow-motion video, and several shots created using filters and at different video speeds. If you can’t decide whether to use video, shoot a still, use wide-angle, or even the 108-megapixel mode, just use Single Take. It covers all these and more.

Ultra slow-mo camera can record light bouncing off mirrors
Bounced light camera

A high-speed camera can pull off all kinds of impressive feats, such as ultra slow-motion action photography in sports or movies. One thing you don’t see too often? An ultra-fast camera that’s so speedy it can actually record light bouncing between mirrors. That’s exactly what Edoardo Charbon at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne recently demonstrated, however -- using a camera that's able to take a mind-boggling 24,000 frames a second.

The researchers used the MegaX camera, a single-photon avalanche diode-based image sensor, for filming their high tech Rube Goldberg-style bounced mirror setup. The hardware for the demonstration was designed by Charbon’s student, Kazuhiro Morimoto, with contributions from researchers Andrei Ardelean and Arin Ulku.
