We all know most fish are always on the move. Any tips on how to take photos of fish when they swim with a Samsung S24 phone?

I've tried the pro option on my camera, it worked ok but do I need a fast lens shutter or is there an option for like when people take sports photos and they are clear and not blurry?

Thanks!

i have the same phone! am tagging along to see what people say! @luis angel you have one too dont you?
I have an S21+ but this is the only option I changed, you can try both in maximum and minimum but what you have to have is a lot of patience, the ones that I think are my best photos have taken me weeks to capture what I really wanted

You can either use a faster shutter speed or pan the camera so that you keep the fish centred.

A combination of both will work best. Not sure how much you can change the shutter speed on that device.

Is it possible to select Fstop, Shutterspeed and ISO on the phone?
I would guess the phone thinks the pic's are going to be to dark and won't put the shutterspeed faster.
If you can select this manually, try a shutter speed of 1/250 and move along with the fish. Keep ISO at 800 and take a pic. If it is to dark, add some exposure in postprocessing.
If it is TO dark, up the ISO a bit to 1250 or something. I don't know if this is going to be nice out of a phone, but with a normal camera you can get away with ISO 1250 and some noise reduction.
