Can Apple's mobile phone capture the aurora?

Aurora can be photographed by mobile phone. In fact, the current iPhone is similar to the SLR in some aspects. With a little adjustment, you can shoot such an excellent aurora as the following picture!

When you want to capture the aurora and the starry sky, if there is unnatural light in the surrounding cities, it is definitely difficult to take a clear picture. At this time, you need to turn on the aurora/starry sky and hold it down to slide down/reduce the exposure. You will find that except for the position where you focus, the surrounding light sources that affect it are weakened!

By locking the focus, reducing the exposure and allowing more natural light to be absorbed from the camera, you can naturally shoot the aurora and starry sky.

Shooting skills:

[Aperture adjusted to the maximum] ISO is adjusted to an acceptable height. Although the higher the sensitivity, the more aurora colors can be photographed in the dark. However, because the higher the ISO, the easier it is to generate noise. Therefore, it is recommended to try more and adjust it to an acceptable height. The following photos were adjusted to the range of 800- 1600, and then some of the existing noise was too high, so I gave up.

[Shutter Focus]: Select exposure time according to different states of aurora. The basic principle is that the aurora is weak and moves slowly > 15-20s, and the aurora is stronger and moves faster > 5- 15s. It is suggested to focus on infinity and take it back.

[Best People Shooting Skills]: Taking pictures with aurora is a technical job. As a beginner player with no photography experience, Xiao Jingdi's suggestion is to choose a shorter exposure time when the aurora is strong, because it is difficult for people to guarantee that they will not shake during the exposure time of 15s-20s. If it is too dark, you can choose to fill the light with the flashlight of your mobile phone.
