What is Expert RAW?

Expert Raw, a multi-frame-based raw format, provides even more flexible options on top of the default Samsung camera app. The expert raw app unlocks the camera features giving you full control of the autofocus, ISO, EV, and white balance settings. With access to all of that rich metadata, you can edit like a pro directly on your Galaxy S22 with Adobe Lightroom.

The app also enables users to fully utilize the phoneโ€™s primary, ultrawide, 3x telephoto, and 10x telephoto cameras. Some of the features include exposure value, focus, ISO, shutter speed, and white balance adjustments. Both photographs and videos can benefit from these settings.

Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra introduced the Pro Mode option in its default camera app. However, it only works with the phoneโ€™s primary and ultrawide cameras. The deviceโ€™s telephoto cameras arenโ€™t supported by the built-in Pro Mode. You can solve this issue by using Samsungโ€™s new Expert RAW camera app.

You can also edit highlights, shadows, saturation, and hue from photos; similar to the default Galaxy S21 Ultra camera app. It features histogram, HDR support, and the ability to export photographs in Lossless JPG and 16-bit Linear DNG RAW formats.
