How to Access Hidden Menu on the Samsung Galaxy Camera

Samsung has been known for hiding certain options in its digital devices so the users can’t accidentally screw their devices up. These options usually include wiping off the device data, setting up locks and so on and nobody would ever like his device to be wiped off with an accidental tap. The Samsung Galaxy Camera does have a hidden menu but it came to attention of the users only when an XDA member came up with a trick to hook into the menu.
