Main Cameras
Wide Camera This camera features a 48-megapixel sensor with an f/1.8 aperture, allowing for good low-light performance and sharp detail. Its 24mm wide-angle lens offers a broader field of view, while the 1/1.28" sensor size and 1.22µm pixels help capture more light per pixel for better image quality. Dual Pixel PDAF ensures fast and accurate autofocus, and sensor-shift OIS stabilizes the image by physically moving the sensor to reduce blur from hand shake. The Samsung Galaxy A36 features a 50 MP wide camera with an f/1.8 aperture, allowing for detailed, bright images even in low-light conditions. The camera sensor has a 1/1.96" size, helping to capture more light for improved image quality and clarity. Additionally, it supports PDAF (Phase Detection Autofocus) for fast focusing and OIS (Optical Image Stabilization) to reduce motion blur for sharper, steadier shots.
Telephoto Camera
Ultrawide Camera This 48 MP ultrawide camera has a 13mm focal length and f/2.2 aperture, designed to capture expansive scenes like landscapes or group shots. Its 1/2.55" sensor and small 0.7µm pixels prioritize wide coverage over light sensitivity, making it better suited for well-lit conditions. Phase Detection Autofocus (PDAF) helps quickly lock focus even on wide-angle shots. The Samsung Galaxy A36 also includes an 8 MP ultrawide camera with an f/2.2 aperture, providing a 123˚ field of view for capturing more expansive scenes. The camera sensor is 1/4.0" in size and has 1.12µm pixel size, which helps in capturing decent quality images even in moderate light conditions. This ultrawide lens allows users to take wide-angle shots, perfect for landscapes or large group photos.
Periscope Telephoto Camera This 12 MP periscope telephoto camera has an f/2.8 aperture and a 120mm focal length, enabling 5x optical zoom for capturing distant subjects with clarity. The 1/3.06" sensor and 1.12µm pixel size are optimized for zoom shots, while dual pixel PDAF ensures fast and precise focusing. It also features advanced 3D sensor-shift optical image stabilization to minimize blur when zoomed in.
Macro Camera The Samsung Galaxy A36 features a 5 MP macro camera with an f/2.4 aperture, designed for capturing close-up shots with fine details. This lens allows users to focus on objects as close as a few centimeters, making it ideal for photographing small subjects like flowers or textures. While it offers good detail in close-up images, its performance is best in well-lit conditions.
Depth Camera The TOF 3D LiDAR scanner is a depth-sensing sensor that uses time-of-flight technology to measure how long it takes light to bounce off objects and return to the sensor. This creates a detailed 3D map of the environment, enabling precise depth perception. It's commonly used for enhanced autofocus, portrait effects, and augmented reality (AR) applications.
Night Vision Camera
Features The dual-LED dual-tone flash combines two different color temperatures to produce more natural-looking lighting in low-light photos. HDR (High Dynamic Range) enhances image quality by capturing multiple exposures and merging them for better detail in both bright and dark areas. This feature works in both standard photos and panoramas, ensuring balanced and vivid results. The main camera of the Samsung Galaxy A36 is equipped with an LED flash, allowing for better illumination in low-light situations. It also supports panorama mode, enabling wide, sweeping landscape shots, and HDR (High Dynamic Range) to enhance image details and balance exposure in both bright and dark areas of a photo. These features work together to improve overall image quality in various shooting conditions.
Video This camera supports versatile video recording, offering 4K at up to 120fps and 1080p at up to 240fps for ultra-smooth slow motion. It captures high-quality footage with 10-bit HDR, Dolby Vision HDR (up to 60fps), and Apple ProRes for professional-grade color and detail. Additionally, it enables 3D spatial video and audio recording, along with stereo sound, for immersive playback experiences. The Samsung Galaxy A36's main camera supports video recording in 4K at 30fps, offering high-quality, detailed video capture. It can also record in 1080p at 30fps or 60fps, providing flexibility for different video resolutions and smoother footage at 60fps. Additionally, gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) helps reduce camera shake, ensuring steadier and smoother video performance during recording.
Selfie
Selfie Wide Camera The selfie camera features a 12 MP sensor with an f/1.9 aperture and a 23mm wide-angle lens, ideal for sharp, detailed self-portraits. Its 1/3.6" sensor size and 1.0µm pixels enhance low-light performance, while PDAF ensures quick and accurate autofocus. Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) helps keep the shot steady, reducing blur from hand movement. The Samsung Galaxy A36 features a 12 MP wide-angle selfie camera with an f/2.2 aperture, capturing clear and detailed self-portraits. The wide lens allows more people or background to fit into the frame, making group selfies or landscape shots easier. This camera is designed to deliver vibrant, sharp images in various lighting conditions.
Selfie Depth Camera The selfie depth camera, equipped with SL 3D (Structured Light 3D) technology, provides precise depth mapping for enhanced facial recognition and biometric security. It captures detailed 3D data to create accurate depth information, improving features like portrait mode and AR effects. Additionally, it contributes to biometric authentication for secure and reliable face unlocking.
Selfie Features The selfie camera supports HDR for improved dynamic range in photos and videos, ensuring better detail in both bright and dark areas. It also captures Dolby Vision HDR for high-quality color and contrast, and 3D spatial audio for a more immersive sound experience. Additionally, stereo sound recording enhances the audio quality of selfies and videos for richer, more realistic sound.
Selfie Video The selfie camera can record video in 4K at up to 60fps, offering crisp and smooth footage for high-quality selfies and vlogs. It also supports 1080p recording at up to 120fps for detailed slow-motion video. Gyro-EIS (Electronic Image Stabilization) ensures steady footage by compensating for hand movements during video capture. The Samsung Galaxy A36's selfie camera supports video recording in 4K at 30fps, allowing for high-resolution, detailed videos. It also offers 1080p video at 30fps for smoother Full HD footage. Additionally, with 10-bit HDR support, it enhances video quality by providing more color depth and better dynamic range, resulting in more vibrant and lifelike videos.
