How to Use Your Smartphone to Take Amazing Pictures

Mobile phones equipped with a camera have been the biggest boon for one and all, yet wielding the camera the right way to get a good image is practically impossible.

So here’s a short guide on taking some measures to click some great images using your smartphone.
1. Right Settings

Your smartphone is smart enough to give you an array of settings. Choose them wisely. Keep the resolution and the image quality on high to ensure the best image quality. Keep the setting on auto unless you are clicking all images indoors or on a beach or outdoors. In that case, keep the specific settings for those environments to guarantee optimum quality. Flash is another major aspect to be taken care of.
2. Flash

Use the flash even if it’s remotely dark or shadowy. Your eyes may have a brilliant perception in dim lighting, but the smartphone’s camera wont. Keep it on, off, or on auto depending upon the environment’s lighting.
3. Burst Mode

Burst Mode has to be a blessing. Capable of capturing anywhere between three to 10 shots in a sequence, it allows a user to capture the whole moment and then select the appropriate photographs among those chain of images.
4. Zooming

Don’t use zoom. We repeat, DO NOT use zoom. Zooming on a smartphone is different from zooming on a DSLR. In a professional camera, the zooming is done by the chunky lens in front. Unfortunately your cellphone lacks that, and it makes up by stretching and enlarging a specific portion of the image, meaning, it only distorts the image giving you an impression of zooming.
5. Framing

The second most important aspect is the framing. See to it that your subject is fitting inside the frame correctly. Hold the phone steady. Cameras are capable of registering the minutest details. Also, if the subject is in motion, adjust the setting accordingly and go trigger happy!
