Deep Ocean Mode: Samsung Galaxy Cameras Save Coral Reefs

Galaxy smartphones with Deep Ocean Mode are diving into marine conservation, helping restore coral reefs with high-tech underwater visuals

Samsung Electronics is commemorating a year of working with Seatrees to repair damaged marine habitats using the Galaxy camera

Ocean Mode, a new camera function on the Galaxy S24 Ultra, captures colorful photographs underwater

Ocean Mode is primarily intended to help marine researchers boost their coral reef restoration efforts by helping them take more precise underwater pictures

Ocean Mode has motion blur reduction capabilities to guarantee crisp underwater photos. Shutter speed optimisation and multi-frame image processing are used to accomplish this

Ocean Mode produces  high-quality photos that are essential to the Coral in Focus campaign

17 3D coral reef models were generated using Ocean Mode pictures for coral restoration projects to measure reef growth and health. Planting 11,046 coral fragments restored 10,705 square meters—25 basketball courts—of coral reef habitat
