How to adjust the color temperature of mobile phone camera

Many people pay too much attention to the brightness of photos, but ignore the most important point-the correctness of colors. The so-called correct color simply means "at least taking photos that feel the same as the scene", which is not easy for many mobile phone users to understand.

With reference to the above picture, it is not difficult to find that we really want to take photos with natural colors on the left, but it is easy to take the middle group or the right group, which makes the photos very uncoordinated and unnatural. I believe many people will encounter this annoying problem, but they don't know what to do.

When taking pictures, you might as well turn on the settings in the camera of your mobile phone. We can find the pattern "AWB White Balance" selected by the red box in Figure 03 above. This white balance setting is to let us take the same color as our eyes at the scene. If you choose the wrong one, you will take unnatural and uncoordinated photos.

Bring the same scene, but different scenery, different colors.

AWB means "automatic white balance", which means "automatic white balance". The camera will automatically help you choose the appropriate settings according to your situation at that time, so you don't have to bother to try one by one.

If you are taking pictures outdoors, you should choose the white balance more carefully. This photo was taken at six o'clock in the evening, and there was a faint sunset glow in the lower right corner. If AWB is used, the color of sunset will not be displayed. At this time, if you change to No.4 fluorescent lamp, you can correctly record the most beautiful sunset.

Correctly recording colors is far more important than recording exposure and brightness. The nature of light varies at different times of the day. If the record is incorrect, it is likely that you will not be able to judge the time at that time. Setting the white balance correctly and shooting the right color at this moment is the most important lesson in mobile phone photography.
