Matters needing attention in taking photos with mobile phones

Lead: Taking pictures with a mobile phone is the stupidest way to take pictures, so the mobile phone has become the most popular camera tool, killing the camera directly, ranking first among the most popular shooting equipment. However, even if it is as simple as taking photos with your mobile phone, you still need a lot of attention. After all, mobile phones are communication tools, and some precautions should be known.

You must pay attention to these things before taking pictures with your mobile phone.

The camera function of the mobile phone is very simple to operate, and because of the large screen of the mobile phone, the operation of the touch screen makes many people feel very easy to use, and they can see the effect on the screen immediately without learning too much photography knowledge. Therefore, more and more people use mobile phones as a camera tool, and simple operation is widely accepted. It's just that the simpler things are, the easier it is for others to ignore the importance of the use process. What I want to tell you today is the simplest camera tool and the places that need attention.

Remember to clean the lens.

The grease on the phone lens is not obvious, but it will affect the imaging.

It is well known that a dirty lens will affect the quality of taking pictures, but it is often overlooked when taking pictures with a mobile phone. First, because it is not a special tool for taking pictures, as a communication tool, the camera has no lens protection settings. So it is easy to get dirty. Secondly, even if it is dirty, not many people will pay attention to it.

Wipe the picture taken by the lens

The camera has greasy pictures.

Dirty mobile phone lens will naturally affect the quality of photos, which is manifested in hazy and blurred photos. In the words of the camera industry, when the sharpness is reduced and you shoot at the light source, there will be a vast expanse of whiteness. This is destructive to taking good photos.

I believe that when you pick up your mobile phone and take pictures, you will check whether the lens is clean when the lens is blurred, but this may make you miss an important lens, so it is very important to habitually clean the lens of your mobile phone before taking pictures.

Set default parameters

Taking pictures with a mobile phone is much easier than taking pictures with a camera, but this does not mean that the function of taking pictures with a mobile phone is less. Nowadays, the function of taking photos by mobile phone is very close to that of camera, such as white balance, exposure compensation, ISO and other professional settings. It also has semi-automatic and manual exposure gears, such as aperture priority, shutter priority and manual exposure. Even the iPhone, which is famous for its stupid operation, has added many modes in the new version. In addition to the most conventional camera and video functions, it also adds modes such as time-lapse photography and slow motion.

Pay attention to the current shooting mode before shooting.

It is very important to know these functions and gears before taking pictures. For most people, automatic transmission is the best choice. To this end, we need to choose the most timely option in the default parameters of the camera for the next shooting.

The demand for shooting pixels should vary from person to person. Friends who don't need big picture output can set low pixels to save storage space.

The parameter setting of mobile phone is much less than that of camera. The settings of iPhone are relatively simple, with only automatic mode, photo shooting options with different aspect ratios and several animation shooting formats, and only the size of video shooting can be adjusted in the menu. Therefore, only the part where the aspect ratio is set is prone to errors. The camera function of Android phone is much richer, which is similar to the setting of card camera. So in order to use it quickly, we still choose the fully automatic mode, especially the parameters such as white balance. When the color temperature environment changes rapidly, you can't use manual mode, and you can honestly use automatic mode.

Learning control exposure

Exposure control during shooting is also a huge challenge for many mobile phone users, because many friends who have no photography foundation take pictures with their mobile phones, pick up their mobile phones and press the shutter after taking pictures. In fact, although the automatic mode is selected, there will still be some deviations when it is completely controlled by mobile phone, so it is necessary to plug in the handle when necessary.

Identify exposure by clicking on the dark part.

Identify exposure by clicking on the bright part.

The metering of mobile phones often adopts spot metering, and the metering point and focus point are unified. Therefore, when we select the focus area, the metering point also moves to this position, and the exposure law of camera whitening and blackening will get the law that the whole dark part becomes brighter and the whole bright part becomes darker. Knowing this, the problem will be much easier, and the brightness can be increased or decreased according to the needs of exposure.

The small sun next to the iPhone photo frame can adjust the exposure compensation.

The camera function of iPhone is stupid, and its playability is far less than that of Android phone. However, shooting the small sun next to the focus frame on weekdays is not an overexposure warning, but an exposure compensation rod. Click on the little sun and drag it up and down to further adjust the brightness of the picture on the basis of focusing photometry.

The camera function of Android phone is much more interesting than that of iPhone. In addition to the automatic exposure function, if manual operation is needed, you can also choose P-file program exposure mode or M-file manual exposure mode. However, due to the hardware limitation of the mobile phone, these manual shooting modes can only control the photo effect. In most cases, the automatic exposure mode can complete the correct exposure, and the automatic exposure function will not be of much use except when the exposure time is needed for night shooting. You need to adjust the shutter speed manually.

Watch your flash.

Mobile phone flash often has a greater negative impact and needs to be turned off manually.

The flash of a mobile phone usually defaults to automatic mode, that is, when the mobile phone judges that the ambient light is insufficient, it will automatically turn on the flash. In fact, because of the lack of power, the actual use effect of mobile phone flash is often not ideal, and using flash will ruin a lifetime. And some environments are forbidden to use flash, such as meetings and classes. So you can try not to use the flash.

The way to turn off the flash varies from phone to phone, but it should be said that some mobile apps use cameras or the default automatic flash mode. At this time, when using the camera function, you should pay attention to turning off the flash in advance. Avoid unnecessary troubles caused by the flash.

Summary: Mobile phone photography is easy to use, but if you want it to take better photos, you should pay attention to some related matters of photography. You can't help but pay attention to these small details of simple steps.
