As mentioned, the A42 has amazing lenses, but what are the specs exactly? The triple rear camera has a 48 MP main lens, an 8 MP Ultra Wide lens, and a 2 MP depth lens. There's also a 13MP lens on the phone's front camera.
Make the subject of your photos pop out by using Portrait mode on your A42. This feature blurs the background behind your subject, which will make them stand out more in the foreground. You can even adjust the blur's intensity to get the effect you want to achieve.
Sometimes things in life happen so quickly, it's hard to remember them later. Slow things down and relive the fun times with the Super Slow-Mo mode on your A42's camera.
Navigate to and open the Camera app, tap MORE, and then tap SUPER SLOW-MO. Tap Record when you’re ready. The Camera app will automatically begin recording a short clip for a few seconds. When it's finished, it will be saved in the Gallery app.
To view a Super Slow-Mo video, navigate to it in the Gallery app and tap Play super slow-mo video.
You can use the Hyperlapse feature to create your own time-lapse video and make the scene look really crazy. This feature allows you to record at different frame rates or you can have the camera choose the frame rate for you.
Say goodbye to nighttime photos that are too dark or covered in shadows. Your A42's Night Mode enables you to take picture in low-light settings, and the photos will still come out clear and visible!
To use this mode, navigate to and open the Camera app, and then tap MORE. Tap NIGHT MODE, and then tap Capture. The pictures will be saved in the Gallery app.
AR ZONE is a feature in the Camera app that allows you to have fun with augmented reality! You can draw or write on thin air with AR Doodle or make your own AR emoji that looks just like you.
To get started, open the Camera app, and then tap MORE. Tap AR Zone, and then tap one of the available options:
Single Take is a helpful feature that takes multiple pictures and clips at once, all while using different filters. This means each picture or recording will come out with its own flair. Single Take will compile them all in one place, so you can pick and choose your favorite shots and delete any you don't want.
Sometimes specific objects, animals, or places look better in certain lighting. But how do you know what type of filter or lighting to use? Luckily, the A42 comes with the Scene Optimizer feature. This feature can detect what kind of object is being captured and then automatically adjust the camera's settings. For example, if you're taking a picture of your pet, the camera will be able to tell it's looking at an animal and will choose the best lighting!
Scene optimizer should be on by default, but here is how to turn it on just in case. Open the Camera app, and tap PHOTO. Tap the Settings icon in the top left corner, and then tap the switch next to Scene optimizer.
The A42 is compatible with Bixby Vision, which means Bixby is built right into its camera! Your phone's camera will be able to identify objects, translate text, find similar images, and much more.
To access Bixby Vision, navigate to and open the Camera app. Tap MORE, and then tap BIXBY VISION. From here, you can use Bixby Vision's many features.
Snapchat filters have been integrated directly into the A Series Camera app so you can take hilarious selfies with your friends anytime! You can even use the Ultra Wide lens with the filters to make sure everyone is in the picture. The filters will change often, so make sure to check Fun mode regularly for new effects. There are a bunch of basic lens effects available in Fun mode, and even more Snapchat filters can be added.
