Another highly touted feature called "Air Gesture" is designed to let you manipulate the screen by moving your hand across, or up and down the screen. At first I couldn't get it to work. A Samsung rep gave me a quick tutorial, which helped, but it wasn't as responsive as I had hoped.
But a few of the camera functions seemed gimmicky, while others failed. One called "Beauty Face" was supposed to make you look better by doing things like slimming your face automatically. The feature didn't turn me into George Clooney; in fact I couldn't see any difference between the photos.
Another one called "Drama Shot" sounded promising in theory, letting you create one integrated photo composed from several pictures. But when I tried the feature it simply didn't work. Samsung marketers shrugged and blamed the way we staged the photo shoot.
