First, focus: make the picture more clear

Accurate focus is an important prerequisite for a good photo. Have such experience, go out to see a very nice scene, print panoramic photos australia full of joy by the shutter, home to open the album a look, the photos are paste, not a clear shot, it is ten degrees uncomfortable. So how do you take sharp, sharp pictures with your phone?

Autofocus

The "autofocus" of the mobile phone can basically meet our daily shooting needs. In the auto mode, the mobile phone will automatically judge the focus and focus according to the scene. If you want to select the focus by yourself, just touch the screen to select the focus. Even with a little bit of vibration, the dual optical stabilization (OIS) technology on your phone makes it easy to get a steady, sharp picture.

2. Focus locking

The phone can lock the focus/exposure by long pressing the screen, and when the AF/AE lock prompt appears on the screen, even if you aim the lens at the new scene, the phone camera will always shoot with this locked parameter. The AF/AE lock function is the key to capture clear photos for photography enthusiasts who like sweeping streets. As long as the scene is determined and the subject position is preset, AF/AE lock can be performed on the preset focus, and then wait for the subject to press the shutter.

3. Manual focusing

A friend might say that autofocus is no longer enough for my shoot. Then, try manual focusing in professional mode. In professional mode, click AF/MF button and switch to manual focusing mode (MF). You can experience the fun of manual focusing in SLR camera.

In manual focus mode, the phone offers a focus bar for you to choose from. Manual focus technique: slowly pull the focus bar in one direction. Focus your eyes on the subject you want to focus. Use the macro work that manual focus shoots, the detail that connects pistil is very clear!

Second, exposure: make the subject more real

Exposure is mobile phone photography is easy to ignore a problem. Below is a group of under exposure, overexposure and normal exposure under the contrast chart, very intuitive to illustrate the importance of exposure. Overexposed images can be harsh. Underexposed images are hard to see. Normal exposure of the picture details complete, look and feel comfortable.

Most mobile phones today can automatically measure light, and the system calculates a so-called correct exposure for you. This exposure is fine in most environments, but it does not meet our requirements in some special situations, such as shooting snow scenes, black backgrounds, silhouettes, etc.

Adjusting the exposure allows you to be in control while shooting, giving more flexibility to the later stages. In the auto mode of the phone, the exposure can be adjusted by pulling the exposure strip of the small bulb after focusing.

Professional mode provides exposure compensation function, tip: when you choose to manually adjust the aperture and shutter, there is no need to use exposure compensation, so the exposure compensation of the phone will become unadjustable state

Three keys: shooting backlight portrait, increase exposure compensation; Shoot white objects to increase exposure, shot black objects to reduce exposure, that is, white plus black minus.

White balance: make the mood more prominent

White balance is the restoration of white during shooting. If you want to get close to the effect of real color, you can choose white paper or white wall as reference to adjust the white balance. The mobile phone's automatic white balance meets most shooting needs. Of course, you can also set your own white balance in professional mode. There are six types of white balance: daylight, overcast, incandescent, fluorescent, custom and automatic white balance.

Different white balances can convey different emotions. For example, when shooting food, the color of the food after the white balance is turned up makes people look more appetizing. On the other hand, a high white balance will make the sea appear dirty, while a low one will show the blue of the sea. When shooting at the bakery, turning up the white balance makes the bread more colorful and appetizing, which is why the bakery's lights are always yellow.

Iv. HDR: enrich the details and colors

HDR seems to be a feature everyone has seen, but no one knows what to do with it. HDR is short for "high dynamic exposure". When the camera is in HDR mode, the phone will have three exposures, one "too dark", one "too bright" and one "normal" exposure. After all, details determine success or failure. We are all detail lovers!

The HDR function of the mobile phone can not only take bright and sharp images in the daytime and against the light, but also show the color and sharpness of the subjects in the dark light. Using the same parameters to shoot LED lights, the image with HDR turned off has obvious halo, while the image with HDR turned on is very clear, showing the stereo effect of LED lights.

Five, high-speed continuous beat: let the dynamic instant solidification

High-speed continuous shooting is not the patent of the camera, just long press the shutter can achieve high-speed continuous shooting, in the speed of continuous shooting, and mobile phone is also very satisfactory. High-speed cameras can help capture fleeting moments, such as children, pets or people and cars in action. Small make up remind, high-speed shooting, also want to pay attention to composition and highlight the main oh. This photo was taken by using the high-speed continuous photography of the mobile phone. When the pair rode past, the shutter was pressed and the photo was taken continuously. Finally, the photo with clear subject and the little girl looking at the lens was selected.

Shutter trigger: make instant photography a reality

Humanized design is also a key to winning the product. The phone's quick start camera and shutter trigger mode really blew my mind. Start the camera quickly. You can swipe up to open the camera in lock mode, or you can start the camera in seconds by pressing the power button twice.

If you think these two functions are common, the point is that the shutter trigger mode of the mobile phone will surprise you. In addition to the regular express door, it also added S Pen remote control shooting, solve the disadvantages of timing shooting, and no longer have to spend a lot of time reading seconds, ready to directly press the S Pen.

In addition, there are floating shutter button, voice expression control of the shutter trigger method, no longer the arm extended by the long press the shutter
