New Galaxy Note 8 update brings more intuitive Live Focus controls

Concluding updated: December 1st, 2017 at 09:31 UTC+01:00

The Galaxy Note 8, in danger of suffering a similar kind of software support neglect as the Galaxy Note 4, received an update this week after what seemed similar eternity despite the few months that the phone has been on sale. In that location'south more than only the regular stability and functioning enhancements in the new Note 8 update, just one thing Samsung hasn't talked about in the changelog is the more intuitive Alive Focus controls in the camera app. Verizon mentions these in its changelog, and frankly, the Live Focus improvements are minor notwithstanding rather handy.

For starters, every time the phone is in the right position to take a Live Focus (or portrait, if that's what you adopt calling information technology) photo, the "Live focus set up" text that comes up now has an opaque yellow background to brand information technology stand up out. When the camera isn'tat the correct distance from the subject, y'all at present encounter a more than direct "Motion further abroad from field of study" heads-upwards, and the same goes for when there'southward not enough light for Alive Focus to work. Oh, and the slider for adjusting groundwork blur is accompanied by "+" and "-" icons that y'all tin can tap on to instantly switch between zero and maximum background mistiness.

Finally, the button to switch between front and back cameras has been replaced by a back button at the peak left of the display when you lot're shooting in Live Focus mode, which is bully if yous take the on-screen navigation keys set to hide by default. When you're shooting normally, it turns dorsum into the camera switch button. Of course, you can go along to swipe upwardly or down on the display to switch between the forepart and rear cameras, which remains the most convenient option to practice so.

Being just the 2d update for well-nigh users since the telephone launched, information technology's natural that Samsung is still tweaking a few things, just similar it did afterwards the Galaxy S8 and Galaxy S8+ went on sale (remember all the changes the new on-screen navigation bar went through?). With Live Focus existence a brand new feature, it's simply natural that Samsung has added a few tweaks that should ideally take been there from the starting time. Only better tardily than never has always been Samsung's motto, and information technology'south overnice to see an update that took then long to arrive brought more than than just the security patches information technology'south expected to.

Take you noticed anything else that wasn't there on your Note 8 earlier the update came in? We know most of yous probably oasis't gotten the update yet, but if you have, do permit us know how your phone's been running since you installed it.

Update: The Live Focus tweaks don't seem to be a part of the November update for all regions, as evidenced past the updates that are, for example, rolling out in India, Bangladesh and Deutschland (we've confirmed this to be truthful). It's possible the tweaks will be a part of the December update, merely for now, don't be surprised if you lot don't run into them after installing the latest update on your Note viii.
