Sources said that the phablet will bring four new camera modes: Wide Selfie, Selfie mode, Selfie Alarm and Create GIF File. As the names suggest, three of them will be dedicated to selfie. The Wide Selfie is for wide-angle selfie shots. The Selfie mode captures the image when you smile or wink. Selfie Alarm makes it easier to snap a selfie using the rear camera by automatically detecting your face and capturing the image. The Create a GIF File will let you make animated GIFs of your photos.

The Galaxy Note 4’s camera will also sport optical image stabilization. It is expected to have all the standard camera modes introduced with the Galaxy S5 such as Selective Focus, HDR Live and Fast Auto Focus. Sources told SamMobile that the Note 4 will sport a 16MP Sony IMX240 rear camera. It will be capable of recording ultra HD video with 3840×2160 resolution.
