Camera default focus with face detection

i bought 2 Galaxy Note II at the same store. They both have some software, etc. One is able to detect face when camera is launched but not the other unit. camera settings on both units are exactly the same... this is really driving me crazy... the default face detection is a big plus. can someone shed some light on this????? Thanks.

bump... can anyone confirm if face detection is the default focus mode upon launching camera app??

I was wondering the same thing because when I first booted my phone and went to the camera and had face detection and I changed something that had nothing to do with face detection and it took it off and I've never had it back on since

The thing that makes go nuts is... my wife's note 2 has face detection as default focus mode! i looked at the setting under focus mode. it only shows auto focus and macro... no way you can choose face detection...

[Q] Dark pictures?

Hi,
When I take pictures with the S6, the setting displays completely fine in the viewfinder (aka screen), but when the picture is saved it is several degrees darker.
Have tried with HDR on and off, and also with the front facing camera, same problem.
Have anyone else have this issue with the S6 (Edge)?

Worth a shot but is adaptive brightness enabled? Or possibly Auto Brightness?

As a matter of fact, adaptive brightness was enabled. When I disabled it the pictures look as good as they should in the gallery.
Don't know if the camera disables adaptive brightness, appears like that.
Thanks for the help!

[Q] Front camera settings is an enigma

Not a disaster but really got me curious.
I looked everywhere. There is always a user guide for the rear camera, never for the front as far as I could find. I just want to know what is that first option in the front camera settings. What does it do? (icon of hand holding phone and an arrow)?

Take a picture with front facing camera, then bring the phone down and it will automatically show the preview of the pic you took, that's If you have it "ON".
On the other hand, if its " OFF", there is no automatic preview.
Hope it helps =)

HDR playback: is it working?

Hi everybody! I'll start by saying that this forum has been really useful in the last few years, so thank you to all users that keep it alive!
I just bought a new Galaxy S20, coming from a S8, and on my old phone, when I watched a HDR video (for example, on Prime Video), the blue light filter would automatically turn off and brightness would go to the max (only while playing). Now, on S20 it is no longer the case. Even if I turn off the blue light filter, brightness can be changed with no issue. That goes beyond the purpose of HDR, which needs brightness to be all the way up. In fact, I believe HDR itself is not working. I checked with my S8 side by side and the difference is pretty clear.
Why is that? Was it the same for S9 and S10, also?
I read somewhere that screen should be set to natural (or that it automatically uses natural when viewing HDR videos), but I see no difference at all. I guess that the brightness not going up is the main cue to see if HDR playback is working or not, and - in my case - it is not. Tried also Netflix, to no avail.
May you help me with this?
Thank you!

Question Does anybody know why the HDR function can never be turned off?

I mean, I'm absolutely confused. People started complaining about this issue back in 2019. Basically, if you turn off the Auto HDR function in the camera settings, take a photo of a lit ceiling lamp for example and then open the photo, you will immediately see the photo being processed (you can see those 4 colored dots circling) and then the highlights will be turned down before your eyes. The same thing happens when enabling Auto HDR. This function is never off and has never been off since at least the S10 series. Why is Samsung ignoring this? I've tested this on five Samsung phones. I've also spoken with their support team in a live video call and shown them the photo being processed before their eyes. They made me go to warranty with the phone but EVERY Samsung phone does this )
