In our test report, the state-of-the-art camera of the Galaxy S21 Ultra was particularly praised because Samsung has installed an ultra-wide-angle camera and two telephoto lenses in addition to the 108-megapixel sensor. Although the camera app of the Galaxy S21 Ultra offers Pro mode, the manual setting options are only available for the main and ultra-wide-angle cameras.

However, Samsung has just announced an app that addresses this limitation. Expert RAW allows the use of the Pro mode, which is also built into the Tele cameras of the device.

In this way, the owners of an S21 Ultra can adjust the exposure values, focus, ISO value, shutter speed, white balance, contrast, shadows, saturation, and hue of photos and videos taken with the telephoto lenses. In addition, the app offers HDR support and can save images in lossless JPG and linear 16-bit DNG RAW formats to save.

As XDA Developers writes, the new Expert RAW camera app is currently in the beta phase. However, Samsung plans to release a stable version soon. One of the requirements for downloading Expert RAW is that your Galaxy S21 Ultra is already running with One UI 4.0 and therefore on Android 12.
