How to use S Pen to take pictures & photos with your phone camera
Thanks to the S Pen you can forget about running back into the frame after setting the timer on the camera or squeezing into the image due to lack of space.
The S Pen is connected to your device via Bluetooth and can work as a remote control camera trigger from up to 10m away.
Please note: This feature is available on the Galaxy Note9 and Galaxy Note10/Note10+. Availability and design might vary depending on the model type and operating system installed.
