In a post on the Community forum, the executive said that the company had enhanced the speed and accuracy of autofocus and the speed of the Camera and Gallery apps. We have mentioned some of the major updates here. You read the full text here.

With the latest update to the Gallery app, users can now instantly delete freshly captured photos while they are being processed.
Since the autofocus algorithm has been modified, pressing the shutter button now causes the camera to take a picture even if the subject is blurry or the scene isn’t properly composed. However, you can alter this behavior in the Camera Assistant app (Camera Assistant » Prioritize Focus Over Speed ON) to have the image taken only when the frame is in focus.
When recording video in low light with the ultrawide camera’s Super Steady mode, sharpness is increased and flicker is decreased. Super Steady mode requires bright lighting, so the camera app will alert you to this fact if you use it.
When taking pictures with the rear camera in “Photo” mode, a green line will no longer appear on the left side.
Enhanced video stabilisation when using the rear-facing camera at Full HD 60 frames per second and with the Auto FPS setting off.
A solution for the sky banding issue that showed up in high resolution and medium-low ambient light (50MP or 200MP). The overall sharpness of the 50MP and 200MP modes has improved. To address the sporadic blurring issue, Samsung also enhanced the OIS performance.

While the Samsung Galaxy S23 series impressed users with its amazing camera capabilities, a few issues created a fuss among the users. However, the aforementioned camera updates and fixes will soon be available in other nations. However, they might appear in April 2023.
