How to set the camera to save pictures to the memory card or SD card on a Samsung Galaxy S7? By default, the Galaxy S7 saves new pictures and video recordings to the internal storage. Of course, users can choose to save items to the internal memory of the Galaxy S7 or the SD card by using a setting within the Camera app. This guide teaches you how to set up your Galaxy S7 so that it will save ALL new pictures you take –directly to the SD card.
Things to Consider
If you use Pro mode, the photos all go to the internal storage even though in settings you’ve selected SD card. Can you change this? Raw files are large and you probably don’t want them on your Galaxy S7’s internal memory.
The short answer is, no, at the moment, there is no way to save raw files captured in pro mode automatically to sd card. You have to manually move these files to the sd card.
Save Pictures & Videos to External Storage on Galaxy S7
- Open the “Camera” app.
- Select the settings gear icon located at the upper-left corner of the screen.
- Scroll down and tap “Storage location“.
- Select “Phone” or “SD card” as desired.

There is no “storage location” icon in my SM-G900V. When I open the camera app and hit the settings gear, it opens up a menu with no “storage location” option. When I hit the gear again, it goes out of settings all together. This article is no help at all for my S7. Any ideas?
Hey Bill, please see the below image. Do you have a memory card inserted?
Also, would you be able to tell me what version of Android you have on your S7?
Thanks.
