There is a new camera assistant that allows users to use Quick Take. Pressing the record button will allow you to record a movie. When a timer is needed, Camera Assistant adds the ability to take a number of photos, as well as the length of the timer. After the timer expires, users have the option of taking one, three, five, or seven shots.

When everything is moving quickly, your shutter needs to keep up, and the S22 isn't known for having the fastest shutter speed. The faster shutter is only offered to a device's wide-angle lens. Fast Shutter is going to be brought to all lenses by the year 2020.

The camera timeout option is included in the Good Lock feature. Users can choose between one, two, five, and ten minutes. If you connect your device to an external display via HDMI, you'll be able to see your camera app on your phone.

The camera software will be brought to the other phones in the future, according to the company.
