In recent years, more and more people, when buying a smartphone, try to choose models with a good camera in order to be able to use it also as a camera. Indeed, modern mobile phones are so advanced that with a high-quality camera, now everyone can, using them, take interesting moments of life to impress with photos and videos of their relatives, friends and acquaintances.
However, the majority of smartphone users do not think about how to photograph properly in order to get high-quality images and as a result their “screenshots” are terrible. Many people believe that the quality of photos taken by a smartphone depends only on the number of megapixels of the camera installed on it. They are sure that the more megapixels, the higher the quality of photos. In fact, this is not entirely true.
The number of megapixels indicates how large a photo can be printed without causing damage to its quality. For example, if your smartphone has a 2 megapixel camera, then you can print a high-quality photo with a size of only 6x4 cm, and having a smartphone with a 16 megapixel camera you can print a sufficiently large photo with a size of 8x11cm. The number of megapixels is not what the quality of images depends on.
For comparison, the flagship model of HTC smartphones equipped with a camera 16Mp, Sony and Nokia - Camera 12 MP, and the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 camera has just 8MP. Meanwhile, we all know that the most vivid and clear images are obtained on smartphones Apple and Samsung companies and the photos made the latest models of HTC smartphones, Sony and the Nokia, have a color imbalance and look a little strange. Therefore, to treat them on a par with the resulting image of the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3, equipped with 8MP camera, while it is impossible.
The quality of photos taken by a smartphone depends on a number of factors, among which the perfection of the image sensor, the number of lenses and the number of apertures have a decisive role. Therefore, how good the camera is can not be determined only by the number of megapixels. To find out, you need to take a few pictures and look at what happened.
To get a high-quality picture you need to properly configure the camera. These settings include white balance, exposure, focus and ISO. However, smart phones are called “smart” phones because they are able to determine the correct settings themselves and the user no longer needs to worry about it. Nevertheless, there are several rules that will help to significantly improve the quality of photos taken by a smartphone:
1. In modern smartphones, when photographing, it is better not to use a digital ZOOM. The maximum shooting angle improves sharpness and helps build composition. The more ZOOM, the greater the likelihood that camera shake will affect the quality of photos. If you want to take a picture of something closer, better go to him. The closer the object, the better the picture. Close-up shots are always more interesting.
2. Light - the key to everything. Avoid contamination of the camera lens, and be careful not to scratch it, but before photographing always wipe it with a soft clean cloth. Normal shots can be obtained only in good light, so interesting and important for you to do a photo shoot better day on the street. However, this should not be allowed out of direct light on people's faces. This can create harsh shadows, or the illusion of strabismus. When the face is not exposed to direct sunlight, the natural beauty is shown in the pictures.
If the light source is in front of the lens, do not forget to turn on HDR mode. The task of the HDR technology is to bring the frame as close as possible to the kind in which it is perceived in reality by the human eye. Therefore, it is indispensable when shooting scenes where bright areas are combined with deep shadows.
When photographing, try to avoid sudden light transitions, and when shooting portraits it is best to choose a place by the window where ambient light falls from the street. This will give the face a pleasant softness and naturalness, and to build the desired composition, take several pictures at once. Making a series of photos, you can choose the highest quality among them.
3. Use the maximum possibilities of the camera. Do not skimp on the size of the photos, if you want to get the best quality images. Set the "image quality" and "resolution" on the highest settings. In the setting of smartphone cameras have many functions, do not forget to use them. For example, if you want to rent a moving object, the settings set "sport mode", which will make it possible to avoid a blurred picture. A shooting in a dark place is best to include a "night mode" to increase the shutter speed. The more you experiment with the settings, the better you will understand the behavior of the camera and the better your pictures will turn out.
4. Edit photos using applications. To date, the choice of applications for camera smartphones is so great that it is impossible to list them in one article. But they are all designed to get a quality result. Experiment with photo editing applications and shoot your camera more often, honing your skills.
