How to change and edit camera modes on the Galaxy S20
- Open the Camera app from your home screen.
- Swipe to the right until you get to the More sub-menu.
- Tap the Edit icon at the lower right corner of the screen.
- Drag your desired shooting mode out of the sub-menu and onto the ribbon. In this instance, I'm trying to add the Night and Pro modes to the camera interface.
- You should now see the modes in the ribbon interface at the bottom.
- Once you drag all the camera modes onto the ribbon, hit Save to finish editing.
That's all there is to it. Your camera modes are now easily accessible from the main interface. You can edit the position of any mode as you see fit, but you cannot move the default Photo and Video modes out of the ribbon interface.
The Galaxy S20 offers plenty of shooting modes, and in addition to Night and Pro modes, you get Panorama, Live Focus, Food, Live Focus Video, Pro Video, Slow Motion, Super Slow-Mo, and Hyperlapse. With the upgraded cameras and new shooting modes, the Galaxy S20 finally has what it takes to stand up to the best that Google and Huawei have to offer, making it the flagship to beat in 2020.
Level up
This is the upgrade for you
The Galaxy S20 has a lot of exciting new additions, including a 120Hz display and 5G, but one area where Samsung focused its attention is the cameras. The phone has all-new sensors that are much better than what we've seen from Samsung in the past, and they're now on par with the best that Google and Huawei have to offer.
