How to take a selfie with iphone?

The biggest advantage of owning a smart phone is that you can punch in, take photos and record your life anytime and anywhere, and all kinds of smart phones have become girls' favorite selfie tools. You take photos with iPhone every day, do you really give full play to the camera potential of iPhone? Have you really been able to take photos of the effect you want at will? The following eight photo-taking techniques can definitely make the selfie more beautiful, although they can't make your iPhone SLR get it in one second!

The first is the "shallow depth of field" effect.

Because the photosensitive element of iPhone is really small, it is impossible to take photos with ultra-shallow depth of field, but with this trick, you can increase the visibility of some photos when shooting small objects and food!

Operating steps:

1. Turn on the iPhone camera, and then press and hold the object you want to focus on in the picture. After about three seconds, a yellow label with the words "AE/AF Lock" will appear on the screen. When this picture appears, the focus distance setting will no longer move.

2. At this time, as long as you gently turn the phone to the left and right sides of the subject, you can easily take photos with shallow depth of field!

Precautions:

1. The subject should not be too far away from the mobile phone, preferably not more than 30cm.

2. The scenery behind the main body should be far away from the main body, preferably with a distance of more than 30 cm.

Second, panoramic shooting

IPhone camera has built-in panoramic photo shooting function. Just turn the iPhone slightly, and you can take horizontal and vertical photos to capture the beautiful scenery. But you know what? In fact, the arrow direction of this function can be changed.

As long as you tap the arrow, you can switch the camera shooting direction from left to right, and with the help of iPhone gyroscope, panoramic shooting can not only shoot horizontal pictures, but also from top to bottom and from bottom to top!

Third, the microscope

As long as a drop of water, iPhone becomes a microscope! This is not an exaggeration. As early as 20 12, Alex Wilder, a naturalist and entomologist in Illinois, USA, did it. As long as you gently drop a drop of water on the iPhone camera, you can turn the iPhone camera into a macro lens. But users who want to imitate should pay attention, water is generally bad for mobile phone components, so be careful!

Fourth, use the "HDR" function well.

The built-in HDR function of iPhone is generally used to shoot advertisements or scenes that are easily overexposed in the sun, but in fact HDR can also be used to shoot dark scenes.

The operation principle of HDR is to quickly take multiple photos with different exposures for synthesis, which can make the scene light source more uniform. So, if you want to take more "beautiful" photos in dim light, don't forget to turn on the HDR function!

Fifth, the headphone cable is also a cable release.

Although the iPhone can take photos by pressing the volume button (don't you know? But because the buttons on the iPhone are tight, it's actually easy to shake hands by pressing the volume button to take pictures. But it doesn't seem easy to blindly press the shutter on the screen with your finger.

In fact, the headphones attached to the iPhone can be used as cable release. As long as the EarPod that comes with the iPhone is plugged into the iPhone, the button on the earphone to adjust the volume can become the physical shutter of the mobile phone. In this way, you can take photos with the iPhone in one hand and press the volume button on the earphone line in the other hand, so you don't have to worry about hand shock.

PS: You don't have to use original headphones, just plug in headphones that can adjust the volume after the iPhone is plugged in, and the cable can be released ~

Sixth, we must learn to photograph pets.

In the camera update of iPhone5s, Apple added two functions: slow motion shooting and high-speed continuous shooting. But what should friends who haven't bought the iPhone5s do? In fact, the iPhone5 already has the capability of high-speed continuous shooting, but Apple didn't separate it into a function.

There are two ways for iPhone5 to want high-speed continuous shooting:

1. Long press the shutter button.

2. Double-click the shutter.

Seven, "filter" shooting

The iOS7 update also brings an important function to the iPhone camera: the filter. Just click on the three circles at the bottom right of the camera screen (yes, not the decoration of the camera interface) to start the filter mode. After selecting the filter, you will return to the camera shooting screen, and you can preview the shooting screen immediately through the filter. Is it more convenient for composition than those apps that want to take good photos and set filters?

PS: If your phone is still jailbroken in iOS7, you can get more filter effects by installing plug-ins.

Eight, "iCloud" automatic backup

There is a "My photo stream" function in the iPhone photo album, which is to set "iCloud". Turning on this function will automatically upload the photos taken by all your devices, such as iPhone and iPad, to the iCloud server through the network, and then download them to every device logged into the same iCloud through the network, including your device and Mac computer logged into iCloud (iPhoto or Aperture is required, the former is free).

PS: The space occupied by photo stream will not be included in 5G iCloud, but the photos are only guaranteed to be kept for 30 days. So don't forget to download it back to your computer as soon as possible.
