Buying a cell phone not only means staying connected, it's also a way to capture moments and share them thanks to increasingly powerful cell phone cameras.
For mobile phone manufacturers, using the camera has become the most competitive technological proposition; however, it's also true that some of the camera features on Android phones remain untapped due to user ignorance.
So to mitigate this problem, we've created this article that will help you with essential tips for taking the best possible photos with Android smartphones.
-
Use each camera and mode for the purpose you need.
If your cell phone has multiple cameras, you should know that each one has a specific function; use them for their intended purpose.
- Wide-angle lens, for unique landscapes like the ones you can recreate with the SAMSUNG Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
- Ultrawide lens for greater wide reach.
- Panorama mode for better vertical range.
- The telephoto lens to achieve maximum detail in the photo.
- The monochrome sensor for night or low-light photography.
- The TOF camera for photos of moving people and objects.
-
Take advantage of natural light as much as possible
Lighting is the factor that most influences the final result of a photo, so take advantage of natural light as much as possible. In fact, one of the most significant differences between a mid-range Android phone and a high-end one is the camera's performance in low-light and high-motion situations.
-
Use HDR mode in dark areas
HDR mode is used to brighten dark areas of the photo. It takes three snapshots captured with different light exposures (unexposed, overexposed, and a composite of both). These are then blended to achieve the best possible combination, highlighting the best of each.
-
Use the grid to adjust scenes
One of the underutilized features of smartphone cameras is the grid, a kind of indispensable guide for achieving good photo composition. This feature helps you adjust scenes that aren't easy to square, such as a landscape, or in scenes that require symmetry to achieve harmony in the photo. A poorly squared, tilted horizon can ruin any beautiful landscape. Most Android phones have this feature, which you'll find by browsing the menu.
-
Play with perspective
It's not always advisable to take a photo at the same level as the object, as the different perspective can add greater depth to the object, creating more dynamic photos.
-
Dare to take different photos
Once you've mastered most of your camera's features, dare to take different photos, breaking away from the traditional ones. Crouch down to find new angles, blur to create effects with colors or shadows—in short, your imagination is the limit.
