Samsung maintains the standalone version of the Expert Raw app with continued development for new features and bug fixes. Here is the latest Expert Raw APK v2.0.07.1 extracted directly from the Galaxy S23 Ultra. It supports One UI 5.1 firmware and brings the latest features.

What is Expert Raw?

The Expert RAW offers a wider dynamic range, letting you capture a lot more, from dark areas to bright areas, in one photo.

Various additional features enable brighter and clearer photos even in low-light conditions,
while the manual operation features (ISO, shutter speed, EV, manual focus, white balance, etc.) allow the photographer to directly control the camera however they want.

The photos are saved in both JPEG and RAW formats, and the RAW format can be viewed and edited using the latest apps or software that support DNG.

The previous update to Expert Raw app featured Night photography, Astrophotography mode, and multiple exposures option. It also brings โ€œSpecial Shooting Techniqueโ€ for the Expert RAW app.

Samsung community (Korea) moderator Camera 1 charge showcased new features from the latest Expert Raw update in a blogpost here. In part one, Samsung released multiple exposures. In part 2, Astrophoto features are explored.

Samsungโ€™s Expert Raw is getting closer to the Google Camera app and as such, can be used as a GCAM alternative for Galaxy devices.

There are two types of shooting methods: Continuous shooting and Manual shooting.

If you select Continuous, pictures are taken continuously at regular intervals, and Manual allows you to take pictures one by one when you want.

When shooting manually, the previously synthesized results are superimposed on the preview for more convenient and perfect shooting.

Four synthesis methods include:

  • Increase (Add.)
  • Average (Avg.)
  • Bright
  • Dark

Astrophotography using Expert Raw

A lot of people want to take pictures of the stars. There are a couple of ways you can capture stars at night. One is simply using the night mode on your Samsung Galaxy camera app. The second is to use long exposures in Pro mode.

There is now a third way by using Expert Rawโ€™s new Astrophotography mode.

Astrophotography in Expert Raw uses Image Stacking, which takes several relatively short exposure photos and synthesizes them according to the movement of the celestial body, and the technology that separates the sky and the landscape to prevent the scenery from flowing when compositing according to the movement of the celestial body.

Most importantly, Samsung will also provide a guide to check the constellations!
