On my S21 Ultra the viewfinder will sometimes show a brightened image, to what I would prefer. A long hold on the focus point brings up an exposure slider, which lets you easily darken the image. It works really well, but the Samsung doesn't quite have the "flatten everything" feature that Marques talked about though (https://youtu.be/88kd9tVwkH8 https://youtu.be/88kd9tVwkH8 - recommend watching this). Also the stronger AI enhancements (auto scene detect) can be turned off with a single toggle; it's useful having the control. And if that's not enough, there's the Pro mode - everything can be made manual. I'm ashamed to say I'm generally getting better photos with my S21U than my old full frame D70s, with decent fixed lenses (35+50). Mainly it's down to the sensor; I often go for the hand held, low light kind of look, and the Samsung results are more often than not simply excellent. I intend to get a mirrorless Nikon Z6II body and a lens adapter this year (my lenses still have decent value), but nonetheless, taking the time to fully explore the tool in your hand is probably one of the best things you can do.
