Updated: May 28

The first 5 tips


1. HDR (High Dynamic Range): Enable HDR to capture more detail in both bright and dark areas of your photos will resulting in better overall exposure.

2. Gridlines: Turn on gridlines to help you apply the rule of thirds and compose your shots more effectively.

3. Pro Mode (Manual Controls): If available, use manual controls to adjust settings like ISO, shutter speed, and white balance for more control over your photos in different lighting conditions.

4. Portrait Mode: Utilize portrait mode to create a shallow depth of field, blurring the background and making your subject stand out.

5. RAW Format: If your phone supports it, shoot in RAW format to retain more detail and have greater flexibility during the editing process.

Experimenting with these settings and getting to know your phone's camera capabilities can help you capture better photos in various situations.


5 more tips…


1. Find Good Lighting: Natural light is often the best choice. Avoid harsh direct sunlight and opt for softer, diffused light when possible.

2. Clean Your Lens: Keep your phone's camera lens clean to avoid smudges or dirt that can affect the clarity of your photos.

3. Composition Matters: Use the rule of thirds to create balanced and visually appealing compositions. Experiment with angles and perspectives to add interest to your photos.

4. Focus and Exposure: Tap on the main subject of your photo to ensure it's in focus and properly exposed. Adjust exposure manually if needed to balance light and dark areas.

5. Use Editing Tools Wisely: Enhance your photos with editing apps or built-in editing features on your phone. But remember, less is often more. Avoid over-editing and aim for a natural look that enhances rather than distracts from your subject.
