Mobile phone photography is very dark at night.

Professional skills and auxiliary tools should be used when shooting the total solar eclipse with mobile phones.

The method of shooting total solar eclipse with mobile phone;

1. Use manual focus mode.

Most people will rely on the "automation" function to take pictures with their mobile phones, but if they take pictures of the annular eclipse in this mode, the effect will definitely be bad, because the light is too dim and the distance is too far, which will blur the focus of the mobile phone and easily malfunction.

So turn the phone to "manual focus" before shooting. Before shooting, click on the position of the sun on the screen with your finger to focus clearly.

2. Manually adjust the parameters

Using manual mode can also avoid high sensitivity, because in automatic mode, the phone will determine the sensitivity parameters according to the surrounding light.

The darker the light, the higher the parameters that the mobile phone automatically adjusts. In the environment of annular eclipse, it is almost completely black. Although there is a small amount of light, it will make the phone think it is "too dark" and will automatically increase the sensitivity and exposure compensation by thousands of times.

Therefore, it is necessary to use manual exposure, control sensitivity to avoid excessive noise, refer to the shutter according to the environment, and adjust the white balance according to the desired artistic conception.

3. There is no need to damage the digital zoom.

At present, the zoom modes of mobile phones can be basically divided into three types: digital zoom, optical zoom and hybrid zoom, and most of the digital zoom of mobile phones are lossy zoom.

If you think the picture of the sun is too small when shooting, you should enlarge it, then the final shooting effect may be poor, the mosaic effect is also very serious, and the image quality is greatly reduced. If it is optical zoom and hybrid zoom, the problem is not big, but the specific magnification should be judged according to the situation and instructions.

4, mobile phone lens protection

When shooting a solar eclipse with a SLR camera, it is necessary to add an overly strict antireflection mirror in front of the camera, and it is also necessary to add an antireflection mirror when shooting with a mobile phone. Otherwise, too strong light may damage the phone. If you buy a solar eclipse mirror, this glasses can also be used as a solar eclipse mirror in front of your mobile phone, but you should also pay attention to the shooting time. You should not shoot for a long time, and the shooting time should not exceed 1 minute each time.

Extended data:

Matters needing attention in shooting annular solar eclipse:

1, not overexposed, but slightly underexposed.

2. Due to the long focal length of the telescope, it is suggested that the photographer use cable release to prevent the image from being unclear due to jitter.

3. Pay attention to prevent the camera from moving due to gravity after focusing, especially to lock the position that has been accurately focused. Look for the lock button on the telescope.

4. A few seconds before the eclipse, remove the filter in front of the telescope or long lens, and adjust the camera shooting mode to the position of continuous shooting, that is, how many shots can be taken per second. Pay attention to photometry and correct exposure. At the same time, we should observe the quality of the photos taken.

5. Set the camera shooting mode to aperture priority (A), usually set the maximum aperture, measure light, and then set it to (P), manually adjust the focusing wheel on the telescope, adjust the focal length to infinity, fine-tune it back and forth, adjust it to the clearest image in the camera's visual window, and then lock the position.
