Samsung Galaxy S Ultra series mobile phones have incorporated a powerful ultra-high zoom function “Space Zoom”, which can use 100 times ultra-high digital zoom to capture the moon very clearly. However, the performance of this function has aroused the curiosity of many people. After the famous foreign netizen ibreakphotos used a Samsung Galaxy mobile phone for actual tests, he accidentally found that the result of using the Samsung mobile phone’s Space Zoom mode to shoot’ r moon is completely fake.
Samsung introduced the moon shooting mode for the Galaxy S20 Ultra and subsequent models, allowing users to take amazing pictures of the moon clearly with the ultra-high zoom capability of Space Zoom. Compared to iPhone shooting the moon, the automatic mode will cause the moon to be. too exposed or blurry, but Samsung Galaxy S Ultra can capture the moon very clearly even if it is magnified 100 times in astronomy mode.

In the past, foreign reverse media actually measured that the Sony A7R III full-frame camera with a 600mm telephoto lens was used to take pictures of the moon, but there was no way to shoot clear lunar details like the 100x zoom from the S21 Ultra.
Reddit forum user ibreakphotos said that many people have seen pictures of the moon taken by the zoom lens of Samsung mobile phones. All the pictures of the moon are fake!
It is understood that ibreakphotos downloaded very high resolution moon photos from the Internet and reduced them to 170×170 pixels, then used the Gaussian blur drawing tool to remove details of the moon’s surface, turn off the lights in the room, and zoom the moon pictures 4 times. Using the Zoom feature of the Samsung phone to shoot towards the blurry picture of the moon, I was surprised by the results.
ibreakphotos found that the original very blurry photos of the moon are completely different from the photos of the moon taken by Samsung mobile phones, which shows that the Space Zoom function can automatically enhance the details of the moon. In fact, the picture is retouched by AI drawing processing, which is completely different from the original blurred picture.This proves that the photo of the moon taken by the Samsung mobile phone is not fake at all.
[Esboniad Llun]The picture on the left is a picture of the moon taken by a Samsung mobile phone, and the picture is very blurry; the picture in the middle is a picture of the moon taken when the shutter button was pressed; the picture on the right is the picture after automatic AI drawing processing a few seconds later.
ibreakphotos believe that the moon mode of Samsung mobile phone is mainly synthesized through AI model and AI drawing technology, which contains a large number of craters and other details of the moon model, and they can use AI technology to repair the texture automatically blur moon. Simply put, the Space Zoom astronomical mode uses Super-resolution processing, using a large number of moon photos to train the AI model, can automatically recognize the moon, and automatically in adding the texture of the moon’s surface, which is completely different from combining multiple photos to restore the original missing details.
Samsung officially admits that the Galaxy S10 has started using AI technology
In fact, Samsung officials have noted that since the Galaxy S10, AI technology has been introduced for the camera, allowing users to take the best photos at any time. Starting from the Galaxy S21, when taking photos of the moon with a Samsung mobile phone, the AI technology of deep learning and multi-frame synthesis can be used to allow AI to automatically recognize the moon, improve the engine function through details , and improve the surface detail of the moon image.
Samsung also emphasized that the moon recognition technology is mainly based on collecting various shapes from full moon to new moon The system uses an AI deep learning model to identify the moon captured by the lens, and finally it uses AI artificial intelligence technology to automatically fill in clear lunar details according to the lunar surface.
Summary: Why is the moon shot by a Samsung mobile phone fake?
To put it simply, when an actual user uses a Samsung camera to take pictures of the moon, even if the current picture of the moon is blurry, after taking the picture, it will be automatically post-process through AI graphics and change it directly to a clear picture of the moon, which can make the user mistakenly believe that the real picture is taken by 100. Stunning pictures of the moon captured by an extremely high digital zoom lens.
Foreign media also believe that Samsung’s use of this method is fundamentally deceiving users, deliberately making users think that mobile phones can clearly identify the details of the moon through AI technology. In fact, behind it no but a picture of the moon created by using the AI drawing Function, not the real one through the camera. Direct shooting.
As for some people who think that the current mobile phone camera technology does not contain AI algorithms, how can it be said that Samsung’s moon photos are fake? Just like computer graphics and AI graphics, are they the same? This time Samsung claims to be able to take a blurry picture of the moon with a 100x ultra-high digital zoom lens, and finally use AI drawing technology to superimpose the details of the moon’s surface on the original picture. AI photo synthesis technology.
Of course, if this technology can be used on the iPhone camera, it can also easily realize the astrophotography function, but this year Apple is preparing to upgrade the telephoto lens for the iPhone 15 Pro series, and I think it will bring more amazing new shooting. functions.
Update: Samsung Officially Responds to Shooting the Moon on Mobile Phones
Later, Samsung published an article saying that when Samsung mobile phones take pictures of the moon, they mainly use machine learning and AI artificial intelligence technology to identify whether the moon picture is real. When the system recognizes the real moon photo, it will correct and enhance the details of the photo through AI deep learning model. Of course, the user can also manually turn off the AI scene optimization function to avoid the above situation.
The scene optimization function combines multiple technologies to produce better moon photos by considering different factors, such as light pollution, moon phases and the weather, to get more realistic and accurate results. In the future, Samsung will also clearly identify the “Scene Optimizer” function in the product to avoid misunderstanding for users, and will continue to develop this technology in the future to bring users a better shooting experience.
