Samsung is now releasing an Expert RAW update for the Galaxy S26 Ultra that brings two major features. The Galaxy S26 Ultra is now receiving the latest Expert RAW 5.0.09.0 update, which introduces two powerful camera features: Virtual Reflector and Ocean Mode. Last week, Samsung released an Expert RAW app update for the Galaxy S25 series & Galaxy Z Fold 7, but the Virtual Aperture feature was only supported on the Galaxy S25 Ultra.

Now, Samsung is finally rolling them out more widely, starting with the S26 Ultra. Ocean Mode, also known as Underwater Mode, allows users to enhance their photography with improved color accuracy, clarity, and detail. It compensates for light loss and distortion, which are common issues in aquatic scenes. It is a useful feature for users who want to capture ocean life with the new Galaxy S26 series.

Another feature for the new flagship device is Virtual Reflector. This function essentially brings studio lighting to your Galaxy S26 Ultra. It allows users to simulate reflector-based lighting, helping fill shadows and shape light more effectively. The result is more balanced, natural-looking photos with a professional touch, giving more creative control to users.

The new Expert RAW update for the Galaxy S26 Ultra is now being released widely, so you should check for the latest app version. To update the app, go to the Galaxy Store and check whether there is a pending update for Expert RAW, which is approximately 55MB in size.
