Galaxy NoteHi @Jyas, what an exciting job!
For photos, the best aspect ratio would be 3:4 and 3:4 [108mp].
If you plan to use the 108mp mode, I recommend taking the picture first, and then zooming in/cropping afterwards for the best resolution. Please note that 108mp photos will take up more storage than 3:4 which uses the standard 12mp camera.
The other aspect ratios are a crop and stretch of the 3:4 ratio. If you are making content for social media, the other aspect ratios such as full or 9:16 can be more convenient as they are already cropped to fit the phone screen.
As for videos, 9:16 or 9:16 [8k] would be the higher resolution, however, I don't think 8k is needed for social media because those platforms will compress the quality anyway. Filming in the 1:1 ratio would be better for platforms with square content as you don't need to rely on them being automatically cropped and potentially cropping out the section you want to keep.
Hope this helps! Feel free to share the content you create with these tips into our Galaxy Gallery or enter our 'Lights Camera Capture' contest to win a free pair of Galaxy Buds Pro

Galaxy NoteIn regards to the camera recording, when I record it struggles to autofocus on my subject in low light,
I'm recording on UHD 60.
It also struggles sometimes during a well lit area.
Is there a solution for this?

Galaxy NoteHi @Jyas, are you using the AE/AF lock while filming? This is usually triggered when you tap and hold an area during recording and will cause a yellow circle to lock the focus on-screen, as well as trigger the AE/AF icon to be shown in the top left corner.
You can tap the AE/AF to unlock it and see if that helps with the focus issues. The AE/AF should disappear once this is unlocked.
Let me know how it goes!
