Capture close-ups, even from far away

10x Optical Zoom

And thanks to the Galaxy S4 zoom’s professional-quality optics and precise zoom-ring adjustment, you can take eye-popping close-ups, too—all without having to lug around heavy camera gear.

Better low-light performance and motion capture

16M BSI CMOS Sensor

Advanced sensor technology makes your pictures come alive. The super-fast, super-sensitive 16-megapixel BSI (back side–illuminated) CMOS sensor needs less light for proper exposure and quicker focus than conventional sensors. So even if a moment happens in the dimmest lighting conditions, your photos will capture everything.

It remains perfectly still, even when you don’t

OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)

Shooting in a hurry doesn’t have to mean shooting blurry. The Galaxy S4 zoom’s Optical Image Stabilization (OIS) system gives images crisp focus, even if you’re not perfectly still. Don’t miss a shot worrying about the right conditions. Click with confidence and create photos and video that come out sharp and clear—even in low-light situations, when zooming in for a shot, or while you’re on the move.
