Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom – camera review part 2

In the second part of the camera review, I am going to look at one of the multitude of preset modes available on the S4 Zoom. Today it is the turn of food mode. Food mode turns photos of food, into more vibrant, appealing and adds some zing. So first up is the plate of baked beans shot in auto mode.

And now photographed in food mode. Don’t those baked beans and toast look so wow now 🙂

Whether or not you prefer the food mode is personal choice, but if you were uploading to twitter or Instagram it would certainly help make your food shot stand out more. Just remember baked beans aren’t that much of a wow food!

Over the next few weeks I am going to post daily shorts on camera sample modes.

First,  is a test of the camera optics using dark and light shadows and seeing how it copes.  HDR mode is not allowed for this test.

So here is the result.

What do you think?

And this is using HDR mode.

Very marginal differences. Overall the camera did a good job.

What’s your opinion?
