Camera Phone Photography: Guides to Better Photos

The current camera phone is without doubt much better than the same camera phone at a few years ago. The built-in cameras on smartphones are now able to take decent photos. But for best results with the mobile cameras, few points should be considered. Here are most important tips to avoid unpleasant side effects on camera phone snapshots.

Under the right conditions, the results of the built-in camera phone can certainly compete with entry level compact cameras. If we considered the following points, your camera phone can make great snapshots.

Here are your guidances:

Camera Phone and Resolution

Most mobile phones come with high resolution camera. But hardly anyone knows what hides behind the term megapixel. As a general rule: the dimensions of a photograph in pixel multiplied together, gives the megapixel value. At a resolution of 2,048 x 1,536 pixels, this would be so 3,145,728 pixels, or in short: 3.1 megapixels. This means that it is possible for enlarging the images due to the large megapixel value. About the quality of the data, however, say nothing.

Nevertheless, just stating the megapixel values up to 10 is extremely important, because low-resolution details can be mapped correspondingly less. Therefore, it is nonetheless, the higher the better and yet at the same time respecting the storage capacity! High resolution photos take up more space. In addition, with most smartphones, the highest resolution is not even necessarily. Often set to "Normal" by default, whereas with the "fine", or "super fine", better results can be achieved.

Lighting on Camera Phone

Even current digital cameras have trouble with it, and for camera phone it is essential: the lighting. With the built-in flash, it is often not done, because often the LED flash will result in over-exposed results with tough shadows and extreme contrasts - and sometimes even color distortions. For optimal results, therefore, prevail in the scene accordingly optimal lighting conditions. Basically, the flash can be viewed only as a last resort, before the images are silhouettes, or completely disappear from the scene.

Zoom

Many users disappointed when looking at the results, despite ultra-high resolution coarse and grainy. This is not uncommon on the previous use of the built-in zoom. For what many do not know, camera phone doesn’t have a real zoom (optical zoom), but simply scaled up the photo shot. Pixels are to be interpreted by the software, which produces pixelated images. This is called a "digital zoom", and should be avoided. When the zoom is not an optical zoom, hands off!

Shake

Motion blur looks great - at least for the videos. In contrast, the blurry images are annoying. And here's the real advantage of phone cameras is also the root of all evil. Because in lightweight, small mobile phones, the device is unsafe in the hands and even the tiniest tremor is passed directly to the camera. Here, small adjustments will help. To avoid gross fluctuation, usually helps to lean on the pillars, walls or other objects. Tremor can be corrected by restraints of the elbow, either on objects or entangled at a pinch on the arm. Additional equipment such as tripods is mostly useless, since they charge the camera phone to the basic idea of mobility.
