Samsung's own spokesperon said this is an explicit feature of the phone.
> But I also want to include one caveat: the S21 Ultra’s Scene Optimizer will not suddenly make all 100x zoom photos look as crispy as the Moon. Samsung flat-out says the Scene Optimizer can recognize “more than 30 scenes.” That includes the following according to a spokesperson:
> Food, Portraits, Flowers, Indoor scenes, Animals, Landscapes, Greenery, Trees, Sky, Mountains, Beaches, Sunrises and sunsets, Watersides, Street scenes, Night scenes, Waterfalls, Snow, Birds, Backlit, Text, Clothing, Vehicle, Shoe, Dog, Face, Drink, Stage, Baby, People, Cat, Moon.
If it was just the normal camera 'faking' photos it'd be bad, but they literally offer a list of stuff that their zoom tab will AI-optimize. You can still use the regular camera to turn this feature off.
To me this sounds like a cool but simply misunderstood feature.

- thenthenthen 4y agoReminds me of the "Camera Restricta" [1]. I encourage everyone interested in tech and photography to check out Villem Flusser's Towards A Philosophy of Photography [2] and of course Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction [3].
