In the standard camera mode you'll see small leaf icons next to the shutter button. The S21 Ultra has a 3x optical zoom, a 10x optical zoom and can take digitally zoomed images up to a whopping 30x and 100x. You can save them all or pick your favorites to share with friends and family. There'll be still images, different cuts of videos, GIFs - all of which will have effects applied. Once done, you can head into the gallery and find your Single Take file and swipe up to see the different items it's produced. The idea is that you'll move around, maybe pan the camera between faces, so that the phone has more material to work with to create all the different options for you. Then, all you need to do is tap the shutter button and wait for the 10 seconds it takes to capture everything. To start, tap into the Single Take camera mode in the mode dial next to the shutter button. It sounds complex, but using it is very straightforward. It was a feature launched on the Galaxy S20, but it's been expanded to produce even more effects. Its aim is to allow you to capture a whole variety of interesting photos and videos of, say, your child unwrapping a birthday present, without having to decide in advance on a particular style, zoom lens or filter. Single Take is a function that allows the phone to capture multiple images and video clips - each with a different effect applied - just by pressing the shutter button once. Let's dive in to see what features are new and how to use them.
