Instant shutter when using camera?

Question

I've been using the Gcam soley due to the instant shutter speed that it provides to quickly capture moments without any lag at all.

I'm on the S10e, and I'm pretty sure this must also be possible on the stock Camera app, but I can't help but avoid using it due to the slight lack in shutter speed.

Are there specific settings that I'm not setting correctly? Here is a summary of my camera settings for photos:

Feature| On/off|

  • | - | Flash | Off | Scene Optimizer | On | Shot Suggestions| Off| Flaw detection|Off| Scan QR Codes| Off| Motion photos| Off| HDR (rich tone) | On| Tracking auto-focus| Off| Location tags|On|

I tried turning off the Scene Optimizer, and I did notice a slight improvement, but nothing significant.

Any tips?

Samsung doesn't utilize ZSL like Google and Apple do, so you can't have the instant shutter effect without a third party app.

Is ZSL a software setting, or hardware? If the latter, so it's an actual limitation of the device itself? I've never heard of ZSL before, and didn't know that was a thing.

Edit: Just to add, according to the Samsung website, we got Zero Shutter Lag in the cameras of our latest range of Samsung Smart phones

It's just software. I think it just essentially buffers frames so when you press the shutter, it processes the most recently buffered frame. Samsung doesn't employ this on the S10, since it can take awhile after pressing the shutter for the picture to capture. Looking at that link, it might be just the Grand Prime model? I'm not sure, it's kind of confusing.

If it's a software limitation, I wish that there was a setting to enable or disable it then.. Without much knowledge of frame buffering, I think I'd take the trade off
