It's enough to take pictures with your mobile phone and "press the shutter to look good" ... actually,

& lt& lt preface >>

A young lady came to me and asked me, "What do you think of taking pictures with these mobile phones? Is this only 8 million pixels enough? " ... obviously she did her homework and got lost. When I knew her habits, I just said: Pick up the phone and press the shutter. It looks beautiful. This answer sounds ridiculous, but she did as I said and is currently using it happily!

"Is this mobile phone good for taking pictures" is actually a big problem! Manufacturers flaunt pixels, light input, aperture, shutter speed, photosensitive element size ... and then make you feel great! These things do affect the effect, but what does it affect? Do you care about the influence? Relationships are as complicated as state affairs!

The author gives an example of aperture.

The mobile phone trademark list is 2.0 large aperture, and then only tells you that "the photo performance is more exquisite" ... but which side is exquisite? Learning photography is inevitable ... it is difficult to understand that aperture will affect depth of field and brightness, so ... what is depth of field and what is the effect of brightness enhancement? You have to use your brain to understand what depth of field, brightness and shutter are ... Finally, you know that "the larger the clear range, the deeper the depth of field" and "the higher the brightness, the faster the shutter speed" ... After searching ... you may forget what the larger the aperture has to do with taking pictures. ...

Do you think it's bloated here ... Ironically, many people go to the display case, pick up two mobile phones, press the shutter on the same target, and then compare them together ... After the comparison, they are somewhat disappointed and confused and say, "Is aperture 2.0 good?" ... "13 million pixels looks like 8 million pixels" and so on. That's how he compares! For him, the most pleasing thing to watch on the mobile phone after filming is the best.

It is wise to make choices with specifications and data, not by feeling.

Whether a thing is good or not depends on the user; For a user who doesn't intend to study deeply, the best thing is what can best satisfy his usage habits. However, I have seen thousands of people choose their mobile phones by feeling, but they have been cursing after buying them, because they didn't consider some face when buying them ... so that they didn't perform as expected after buying them. Here, the author shares a set of simple methods that can take care of most aspects; This process is completely subjective, simple and thorough ... let's watch it together.

If you want to renew the contract in a few days, you might as well start with & gt.

If you don't care much about taking pictures on your mobile phone, welcome to discuss.

& lt& lt Let go of specifications, return to habits and satisfaction >>

What are your habits?

Maybe you love taking selfies, and upload them to FB after shooting;

Maybe you like to take pictures of the scenery and put them on the computer as memories;

Maybe you like to take pictures of interesting things and show them to your friends on the screen of your mobile phone. .........

At this time, you may ask: "Is it enough for FB to upload 8 million pixels?" "Is aperture 2.0 less susceptible to hand shock?" And "Is wide angle more suitable for self-portrait?" By this time, you have caught something fishy. however ...

Upload a photo to FB, because you have seen it and think it is ok.

Not because 8 million pixels can;

The smaller the vibration of your hand, the smaller the vibration of your hand when you use it.

Instead of aperture 2.0, it is less likely to shake hands;

When you don't understand and can't study the meaning of these norms, it is king to appreciate them in person. However, there are thousands of things that mobile phones can do, and it is impossible to try them one by one for each purpose ... At this time, if we can sort out their similarities, the problem will be solved.

& lt& lt has never changed its original religion-shooting objects, watching media >>

No matter what you shoot, always press the shutter; No matter what you shoot, you will take it out one day. ...

No matter what kind of user you are, as long as you take pictures smoothly and look acceptable, it is a good thing; This sentence is the central idea of this article. The choice of mobile phone camera function is always the same. Just consider "convenience" and "image quality" to find a suitable mobile phone. But it is difficult for us to judge the smoothness and image quality of a machine. ...

Don't worry for a few minutes at this time ... Let's take a look at the following interesting sentence: "People who love to take selfies and upload FB will inevitably care about whether the mobile phone selfie is smooth or not, and whether uploading FB (image quality) is enough" ... This sentence seems ordinary, but if you change the selfie inside to the subject you want, and then upload FB to the viewing media you want, it is still a big problem. It's amazing!

Whether shooting is smooth or not, the difficulty of subject matter and shooting technology are one of the keys;

Whether it seems acceptable or not, the nature of the viewing mode and its own standards are one of the keys.

We can find a convenient machine with the main body and a machine with satisfactory image quality by watching.

If the picture quality is good, it's ok. I'll be happy to use it.

?

?

& lt& lt Find out your hobby and understand its difficulties.

"Smooth enough, the picture quality is ok" is very vague.

Because at this time, I still don't know how high my standards and quality requirements are; It is not clear how to confirm whether a mobile phone meets the requirements. ...

Follow these four steps and you will be watertight:

0. Find out if you have anything you particularly like to shoot.

1. List possible themes and viewing methods according to hobbies.

2. After classifying the subjects and viewing methods, point out what your needs are.

3. Experience for yourself which mobile phone is competent and which mobile phone is incompetent.

?

Of course, this is a bit abstract,

Next, the author explains the intention (in brown font), practices and precautions (in blue font) of these steps, and then takes the author as an example to make a more specific explanation:

?

Step 0: Know if you have anything you particularly like to shoot.

Limited by size, mobile phone cameras usually have worse performance and lower degrees of freedom than cameras.

If you can't cover everything, start with your preferences when you buy it.

According to the author's observation, there are three preferences that affect demand:

1. Enjoy the inconvenience of taking photos; A the picture quality is suitable, so it's best to take it at night without flashing during the day ... Don't look at the following process, go online and find a real photo right away.

2. I like to take some pictures, such as selfies, pets, food and so on.

3. If none of the above is true, pay attention to whether the things you like to shoot are dim (note 1), such as night markets, snacks, restaurants, KTV, dinners, barbecues, evening photos or your own room. If so, then you prefer dim scenes.

None of the above means that your preferences have little effect on the performance of camera functions.

Note 1: The camera's characteristics are different in the environment of dark light and sufficient light, so sufficient light and dark light should be separated.

?

Step 1: List possible subjects and viewing methods according to your hobbies.

Thank you

If you like to shoot something, just list the way you watch it and who you like to shoot.

If you prefer dim scenes, list the dim subjects;

If none of the above is true, list the dim subjects when shooting the opposite object;

As far as the author is concerned, I belong to "no preference"

At this time, it is necessary to list the non-dim shooting objects such as scenery, roadside dogs, relatives and friends, vegetables and fruits, tourist attractions, etc.

Regardless of the shooting preference, the list of viewing modes is much simpler: Line, FB, mobile phone screen, computer screen, printing and developing.

?

Step 2: Divide the subjects and viewing methods into three categories: easy, good and difficult, and select the representative ones.

The purpose of the arrangement is to know your own demand level. As the saying goes: safflower needs green leaves to set off; If you only know what to shoot, it is difficult to know whether it is good or difficult to shoot; However, when you list several different shots and compare them with what you want to shoot, you can know whether what you want to shoot is difficult or not, and whether you need a convenient machine or an ordinary one. The requirements for image quality are the same. When you only know that what you shoot will be watched on your mobile phone, it's hard to know how high your demand for image quality is.

By arranging the difficulty of the subject and the requirements of the viewing mode for image quality, it is helpful to understand your own demand level. It is more helpful to simplify the problem by dividing it into three categories: easy, ok and difficult:

& lt subject: >

What is the principle of difficulty in taking pictures? What will affect the convenience of the camera? , see appendix 1.

Divide your listed subjects into three grades according to the degree of difficulty, and choose an object you shoot most often/want to shoot as a representative for each grade. Finally, find out what you shoot most often/want to shoot from this Theory of Three Represents.

As far as the author is concerned, it is like this:

The theme of "simplicity" is scenery and still life. I often shoot scenery, so I choose "scenery" to represent things that are easy to shoot.

The "difficult" subjects are scenic spots and dogs on the roadside. I choose to shoot more scenic spots to represent difficult things.

Other "ok" ... let's call it "other".

Theory of Three Represents's theory and ranking are as follows:

Of the three, the author likes to shoot tourist attractions, but it is difficult to shoot them, which shows that I am demanding.

& lt view mode: >

According to the requirements of image quality, arrange your listed viewing modes, and choose one of your most commonly used viewing modes at each level. Finally, find out your most commonly used viewing mode from this Theory of Three Represents.

As far as the author is concerned, it is like this:

FB and LINE are just like a marquee, and they don't require high quality. I often use these two words, so they are collectively called "community"

There is a considerable demand for computer screen, printing and printing; Among them, I use the computer screen the most.

Let's just call other "ok" movie-watching media "average".

Theory of Three Represents's theory and ranking are as follows:

Of these three viewing methods, the author uses the mobile phone screen the most (generally), but the mobile phone screen (generally) has neither high nor low requirements for image quality, which means that I have low requirements for image quality.

& lt summary: >

To sum up, the author's needs are shown in the table:

This form reveals two things:

1. I often take photos of sightseeing spots and like to look at photos on my mobile phone screen (generally).

2. It is difficult to shoot scenic spots, and the author requires high fluency; The mobile phone screen (generally) has a general requirement for image quality, so the author has a general requirement for image quality.

If I want to buy a mobile phone, I must do two things:

1. Just find a mobile phone that can handle sightseeing spots and see photos in general media.

You may not find a machine that can shoot smoothly, so please do a good job in psychological construction first.

The main significance of this classification is to recognize your own needs, know what you want to shoot, and where the requirements for image quality are. If your needs are the highest level (the most difficult), you can prepare yourself as soon as possible!

Note 2: Due to performance limitations (inaccurate white balance, easy hand shaking, slow startup/archiving, etc. ), mobile phone cameras often need to be adjusted or waited to take good photos ... so I think it is best to take still things, and it is most difficult to take moving, crowded or fleeting things. But everyone's subjective cognition is different and needs to be measured by themselves. Regardless of subjective cognition, it is suggested to find out the * * * similarity of a class interval after scoring, and choose a representative and practical subject as the representative of the class interval.

Step 3: Choose a convenient showroom, and choose the one with good picture quality according to the actual photos.

You can find the photo effects of various manufacturers online. When you do your homework, you should first search for the real photo, and then use your feelings to judge whether its image quality can meet your needs.

If you want to know how easy it is to take pictures, you can play it once in the display case and learn about its startup speed, color difference from the real scene, interface, reaction speed and so on. And then judge whether it can let you take what you want according to your feelings.

As far as the author is concerned,

Before buying a mobile phone, look at the real photos on the internet and know that the photos taken by that mobile phone can meet the demand of "watching on the screen of mobile phone";

Go to the exhibition hall to see which mobile phone can let me take pictures when there are many people.

Suppose I saw three mobile phones, and the evaluation is shown in the following table. ...

This imperfect situation often appears in people with limited budgets and early camera phones. At this time, if you have to choose one, you need to make some psychological preparations ... I pay more attention to convenience and the picture quality is acceptable ... choose the second mobile phone.

According to my personal understanding of 3C products, when you want to buy (or can afford) a mobile phone, this function is what Internet villagers often call "chicken ribs". Look down upon.

& lt& lt conclusion >>

Seeing this side, maybe you will say, "According to you, isn't it beautiful enough to press the shutter?" Why is it so complicated? " Because many people, including the author, have experienced a whole process of disappointment after using "choosing a mobile phone by feeling". But it's true to choose things by feeling. The problem lies in the miscalculation of demand:

Take a bunch of shaking photos, because I didn't consider the camera technology and preferences;

I think the picture quality is not good, because I forgot to enlarge it to 100% to see the photos;

No matter how you shoot, the picture has burrs, because I didn't expect to always take pictures in the dark;

I think the speed is too slow, because I didn't expect to shoot something that needs to be done quickly. ...

Nothing is right, because I don't know that my requirements are so high. I hope the mobile phone camera can handle it well.

... wait, wait

Meeting, representing care; Since you care, consider it comprehensively.

There are many factors to consider, and complexity is inevitable; However, this process can help you reel off the cocoon.

Know your needs completely, it won't take you a few minutes.

It is much more direct and effective than the specifications such as aperture, pixel and light entering discussed by netizens.

? & lt& lt appendix >>

Appendix 1: Is this mobile phone convenient to use? what do you think?

As mentioned above, I have a simple principle to rank the difficulty of shooting objects: the shorter the time you can shoot, the more difficult it is.

So crowded tourist attractions are classified as "difficult" by the author-when you are pushed by the crowd or walking with people, there is not much time for you to take pictures.

When the shooting time becomes shorter, you need a handy machine; Shortening the time of taking pictures is one of the purposes of the "ancients" to invent the fool camera.

As for what will affect the photo time?

For the author, there are these ...

0. Photosensitivity (items 1, 4, 5 and 6 will be affected in dark places, which has great influence)

1. focusing speed (this is a necessary process, and the photos are pasted without focusing).

2. Startup speed (it is impossible to keep the camera on all the time ... the startup time should be calculated)

3. Archive speed (you know ...)

4. White balance accuracy (You don't want to take pictures with strange colors, do you? )

5. Shutter speed/hand shock prevention (not explained)

6. Dynamic light and shade (you don't want to press the shutter when the picture is dead black or overexposed)

But for ordinary consumers, these seven factors are intertwined, that is, "whether it is smooth"; The purpose of this paper is to help people who don't know how to choose a mobile phone, so the above characteristics will not be discussed in depth.

Appendix 2: It is enough to press the shutter. It looks beautiful.

The topic is: how do you help the lady in the preface solve the problem? She just asks you, "What do you think of taking pictures with these three mobile phones? Is it enough for a mobile phone to have only 8 million pixels? "

?

Answer:

When the information is seriously insufficient

We can ask her questions according to the principles of step zero, step one and step three to understand the whole situation:

Do you usually take photos with your mobile phone? (Understanding the Importance-Step 0)

What do you usually shoot? (Understanding Preferences, Themes and Types-Step 0, Step 1)

Do photos usually go to FB or copy to the computer? (Knowing the audience is the first step)

What are the things that are not often photographed? (Use the inverse problem method to understand the real demand-step 3)

?

After obtaining the information, use the principle of the second step to grade it.

Then teach her how to compare three mobile phones with the principle of the fourth step.

?

When I finished asking questions,

I know that she often takes photos, mainly self-portraits and life photos, and has special hobbies.

Then most photos are uploaded to FB or LINE, not copied to the computer.

This is all the information I got at that time.

For people with special preferences, just choose one with good effect and good image quality.

She doesn't need a computer ... looking beautiful on a mobile phone is her highest requirement for image quality.

But I don't know how her photography skills are. ...

Finally, I told her: it's enough to press the shutter (easy to use), and it looks beautiful (acceptable quality)
