Advantages and disadvantages of mobile phone photography

Mobile phones are small in size, allowing users to take photos with them, and at the same time, they can share them instantly through social software, which is not available in traditional photography methods.

2. Pixel height. At present, the pixels of mobile phone cameras are generally between 5 million and 8 million, and the pixels of high-end camera phones have reached more than12 million. This is much higher than ordinary cameras, and it naturally has advantages in imaging.

3. High degree of freedom. Mobile phone photography is more free, and it is easier to record what is happening around you. Especially when shooting emergencies, mobile phone photography plays an important role, which makes up for the lack of traditional media coverage of emergencies to some extent.

4. Various shooting techniques. In addition to several self-timer digital cameras on the market, many cameras are not suitable for self-timer, or need to be released by cable. For users who like to take selfies, there is no more advantageous shooting equipment than mobile phones.

Second, shortcomings.

First of all, the most important thing is that the camera of a mobile phone is generally unable to zoom and the focal length is not long enough. As for the "digital zoom" in some mobile phone publicity, it is generally a gimmick, which is essentially a deletion and will sacrifice many effective pixels.

Secondly, the size of photos taken by mobile phones is limited. At the same time, most of the flashlights equipped with mobile phones are LED lights, which are far from the high-pressure xenon flashlights of cameras in brightness, so their application at night is very limited.

Finally, when shooting scenes with strong light contrast such as backlight, it is difficult for mobile phone photography to take into account the light and dark parts, and it is easy to lose a lot of light and dark levels, which will affect the picture effect. Not only that, mobile phone shooting is also prone to serious "ghost" and glare.

In short, mobile phone photography has advantages and disadvantages, but the author believes that there is no best equipment, only the best photographer, and enthusiasts who love mobile phone photography should try their best to use mobile phones.
