Iphone camera skills fuzzy lights

This article will introduce you to several simple and effective techniques to help you take clearer photos with iPhone in any light. The following is the dim light of my iphone camera skills. Let's have a look!

First of all, sometimes autofocus will let you down.

You can take a photo similar to the one above. For best results, you should set manual focus by touching the screen in the iPhone's camera application.

In this example, the iPhone has automatically set the focus (and exposure) on the photo background, which is why the tennis ball in the foreground is not in focus, but the background is in focus. If my initial goal is to play tennis, I will touch the screen of the ball to manually set the focus (and exposure), as shown in the following example.

Second, ensure that the shooting light is sufficient.

1. When it is possible to take clear photos with iPhone at night, generally speaking, the effect will be better when there is more light in the photos. In the case of insufficient light (such as indoor shooting), less light reaches the camera sensor. In order to let enough light reach the sensor to produce an appropriately exposed image, the shutter must remain open for a longer time.

2. Any action when the shutter is open (including the action of the iPhone itself and the movement of the subject) will lead to blurred photos. The longer the shutter is open, the more actions may be taken (leading to more blurring).

3. When the iPhone doesn't start to manually adjust the shutter speed, the shutter will stay open for a shorter time when the light is sufficient. So if you can take measures to increase the amount of light entering the photos (such as shooting outdoors or turning on the lights), you will get clearer photos.

Third, avoid shaking hands.

1 Of course, sometimes it is impossible to increase the amount of light entering the scene. If you want to take pictures at this time, try to avoid iPhone jitter. Please make sure that your hands hold the iPhone tightly, and there is a solid object to support your hands.

2. Any external building (such as table or rail) can be used to support the wrist or elbow, or it can be completely against the wall. When there is no external support, you can also try to put your arms on your knees or your elbows on your waist.

Of course, if you take pictures slowly, the shooting effect will be much better. Taking photos slowly can ensure that the photos are taken perfectly, and the body posture is comfortable when holding the iPhone tightly, which helps to avoid unnecessary actions.

Fourth, use a sturdy tripod.

1. Without any equipment support, using a high-quality tripod is the best way to avoid any motion (and blur) in photos, which can keep the iPhone stable to some extent. Of course, wearing a tripod makes your photos lose some natural feeling, but it also brings you magical effects, especially when taking landscape photos and exposing photos for a long time.

2. When tripod and iPhone are used together, I suggest using a regular tripod that can keep iPhone stable even on rocks or ice to take landscape photos. I used a manfutu190xbob tripod with a manfutu 804RC2 pan/tilt, but there must be other options.

3. You also need to hang the iPhone on a tripod. An easy way is to use the iPhone case in the Manfutu Klyp+ iPhone photography product line.

Five, photography with headphones

1, a little-known iPhone photography trick is to use the volume button on the headset as a remote shutter switch. Remember the white Apple headset when you just bought the iPhone? These headphones are very helpful for iPhone photography.

2. If you press the volume up button on the headphone cable, iPhone will take photos. This technique of reducing camera motion (holding and using a tripod) is very good because you can take pictures without touching the iPhone.

Six, avoid moving objects

In addition to trying to keep the iPhone from shaking, it is equally important to keep the subject still, especially when the light is insufficient. Even if the photo below doesn't achieve the expected effect, it can clearly explain what happens when the subject moves.
