Samsung’s April 2024 firmware could address remaining Galaxy S24 camera flaws

Samsung has confirmed that it will release a software update for the Galaxy S24 series that will fix a camera issue that causes some photos to be taken dark. The issue affects the camera app when the automatic exposure (AE) is locked at certain zoom ratios (1.6~1.9x, 4.6~9.9x).

AE lock is a feature that allows you to lock the exposure value for a specific area of the scene. This can help you achieve better results in challenging lighting conditions. To use AE lock, you can either touch the area you want to expose on the screen and then tap the lock icon, or press and hold the area for a few seconds. A frame will appear to indicate that the focus and exposure are locked.

However, due to a software glitch, the AE lock does not work properly at some zoom levels, resulting in underexposed photos. Samsung is aware of this problem and is working on a software update that will fix it.

Back in February 2024, the Galaxy S24 series also received a “vividness” slider for the display and improved the camera performance by fixing several issues. These devices recently started getting the March 2024 update, and the April 2024 firmware is expected to fix the camera issue. However, Samsung may also release another update in March to fix it.

The update will be available soon, so users are advised to check for it regularly. To update the Galaxy device software, users can go to Settings >> Software Update >> Download and Install.
