The Galaxy S8 has a plethora of shooting modes for both casual photographers or enthusiasts. If the stock camera modes just aren't doing it for ya, there are additional modes you can download from the Galaxy Apps store. Here's how:
  1. Open the Camera app
  2. Swipe right to open the camera modes screen
  3. Tap the "+" button in the upper right corner
This will take you to the appropriate page in the Galaxy Apps store and allow you to download additional shooting modes for the Galaxy S8. It's limited, but we're sure Samsung will be building out the list as time goes on.

It's also possible to edit the order of the camera modes straight from the camera modes screen. Just follow these steps:
  1. Pressing the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner of the display
  2. Selecting Edit
  3. While in edit mode, you can drag around the camera mode tiles to rearrange, or delete a mode you've downloaded from the Galaxy Apps store.
  4. Once you're finished editing the placement, tap Done to save.
If you have a favorite camera mode, you can create a shortcut on your home screen. Just press the 3-dot menu in the upper right corner and select Add shortcut to Home screen. If you go back to your home screen, you can move the shortcuts around like any other app icon or place it inside a folder.
