How to measure light in mobile photography

I often use the "finger click method", that is, before pressing the shutter button, tap the brightest part (high light spot) on the screen with my finger as the "focus+luminosity value" of the shooting scene. Compared with the "focus metering linkage" mode of mobile phone camera, this "finger click" mode responds to the "focus metering" of the subject more quickly and conveniently, that is, it can be replaced at any time. It is very suitable for shooting scenes where the focus is synchronized with the metering point. It is also suitable for most shooting modes in the "More" menu of mobile phone cameras, including streamer shutter, panorama, night scene and other modes.

1, practice shooting How to choose the metering point of the shooting scene? It is very important to control the exposure of shooting scenes (especially highlights) when shooting with a mobile phone camera. Choosing the exposure metering point is a prerequisite for shooting a good film. Let's talk about the selection and application of metering points in some common shooting scenes with the "finger click method".

2. In the shooting picture, don't forget to use the "finger click method" when shooting the scene under the front light. In general, mobile phone cameras (default) mostly use similar average photometry to measure values. In this way, when shooting some smooth scenes, it will cause the exposure of the shooting picture to be too uniform and dull. This requires us to select the metering point in a targeted way and measure the metering value by "finger clicking".
