Is iPhone really inferior to Android phone?

IPhone party is often ridiculed, and there is no professional mode for mobile phones.

Many friends who use iPhone really envy Android's own professional mode, streamer shutter and other shooting modes.

Seeing that professional mode has become the norm on Android phones, iPhone still adheres to the concept of "simplicity and convenience", allowing users to focus more on shooting itself.

So, is the iPhone without professional mode really inferior to the Android phone?

Android has some functions such as silk flowing water, night view mode and portrait mode. Now the iPhone also has them, but sometimes it is not enough to adjust the parameters yourself!

ProCam7 can make up for the defects of the original camera and let users shoot and create better. Where's Procam Let's have a look!

Friends who have just come into contact with Procam are not used to these difficult English abbreviations, so they are easily scared off, and the software has been eating ash in their mobile phones since then. But in fact, these shooting parameters and professional modes are not difficult to understand!

The most important function of Procam homepage is concentrated in the lower toolbar. These five shooting parameters are: exposure compensation (AE), shutter speed (Sec), sensitivity (ISO), focusing (AF) and white balance (AWB).

From the operating page and function of Procam, the biggest difference between Procam and the original camera is that:

1, shooting in RAW mode, more room for later adjustment, no need to worry about image quality; 2. Various shooting parameters can be adjusted to meet various shooting requirements;

3. There are rich shooting modes such as low-speed slow door and high-quality 4K video shooting.

So, what defects did Procam make up for the original camera? What kind of goals can you help us achieve?

0 1 Set shooting parameters manually

By adjusting these parameters, the iPhone also has a "professional mode", which makes mobile phone shooting and creation more flexible.

The original camera can only adjust exposure compensation (AE) and focus (AF), while Procam can manually adjust shutter speed (Sec), sensitivity (ISO) and white balance (AWB) in addition to the above two items.

Especially when the aperture of the mobile phone cannot be adjusted, it is very important to adjust the shutter speed and sensitivity during long exposure and high-speed photography.

Hold a chestnut and shoot a car with your mobile phone. It needs the shutter speed of the camera to be close to the moving speed of the car, in order to capture the dynamic moment and take a clear picture of the car with blurred background.

The original camera can't adjust the shutter speed, so it is difficult for a fast-moving car to image clearly. Using ProCam to set the shutter speed to 1/25- 1/40, you can take a dynamic picture when the car is driving.

Take another chestnut. iPhone can't shoot the moon, but it's absolutely no problem to shoot the starry sky.

Shooting the starry sky requires the subject to have a longer exposure time to get clear and bright photos.

Flexible use of various shooting parameters, the shutter speed is usually set at 25 seconds. If it takes too long, the stars will be tarnished. ISO is usually set at around 800. Select manual focusing to make the stars clearly imaged.

02 slow door shooting tracks

The long exposure of iPhone can make filar silk flow and blur the flow of people, but it only realizes dynamic blur. Procam is the best choice if you want to shoot light rail and car tracks.

The left picture shows the blurred traffic of the original camera after a long exposure, and the right picture shows a beautiful light track with a "low-speed shutter"

Click "low speed shutter"-"light track" in shooting mode, and generally choose 4sec to take a good-looking photo of the light track.

You can also adjust the exposure time of the "low-speed shutter" according to the actual exposure and shooting requirements, or manually adjust the parameters to achieve the ideal trajectory effect.

03 robbed PicsArt's live editor

One-stop service for shooting and retouching. The post-editing of iPhone is notoriously practical, while Procam cares more about "special effects".

They are also reversible modifications. Procam's comprehensive editor has more filters, adding 17 kinds of real-time lens effects such as fisheye, asteroid and shifting axis, and quickly realizing various interesting lens settings.

If the photo is taken in portrait mode, the system will automatically generate a depth of field editor. It will carry out detailed matting to remove the background and mask tools according to the degree of blur, which is convenient for later creation.

04 other settings

There are more basic settings to choose from on the left and right sides of the shutter key. For example, in addition to the common grid lines and level meters, there are also auxiliary lines of the golden section to help us make better compositions.

SET function makes mobile phone shooting more like SLR. According to different shooting requirements, start shutter priority, ISO priority or target tracking AF/AE.

Turn on manual focus assist and manual focus peak to help us focus more accurately.

Turn on the over-bright reminder. When the screen highlights are overexposed, a red line warning will appear, indicating that details may be missing in the highlights.

Procam's fly in the ointment is:

Night mode is even more chicken ribs. There are four exposure times: 1 sec,1/2s,1/4s and1/8s, but they are not really necessary. On the contrary, it is more practical and convenient to use the night scene mode of the original camera. The portrait mode is unstable, and the blur effect is sometimes false.

As a supplementary app for the original camera, ProCam can achieve many effects that the original camera can't achieve, and you don't have to worry about the picture quality, but you need to buy it for 40 RMB. Do you think this "professional mode" is worth it?
