Samsung Galaxy S5 camera and gallery walkthrough video
Selective focus, Shot & More, 4K video and Studio Mode are just some of the GS5's new imaging features
Samsung introduces not only a new 16-megapixel sensor and a revamped flash to the Galaxy S5, but also a wealth of new software features to go with them. The revamped Samsung camera app mostly does away with the big carousel of shooting modes, arranging various features in a grid layout, accessible from the settings icon. Here's where you'll finds options like photo and video resolution ? the GS5 shoots at up to 16MP in 16:9, 12MP in 4:3 and video at 4K ? as well as the selective focus and HDR modes. The former takes a bunch of exposures, does a little math, and then lets you choose whether you want to focus on the foreground of background. (There's also a "pan focus" option that tries to keep everything sharp.) HDR has been revamped too, giving a live preview of what HDR images will look like. Capture speeds ? generally, and in HDR mode in particular ? are also noticeably improved.
Check past the break for more, including a new hands-on video of the Galaxy S5's camera and imaging features!

URB-E makes commuting seem like fun!
When we were younger, going out to play was anything from playing make believe to riding your bike for hours with no particular destination.
