'photo shooting' is no longer a subsidiary
feature of cell phones as it has become
most users' main concern at purchase.
About 50% of users will pay particular
attention to pixel count of camera phones.
However, the question is 'will we be
able to get beautiful pictures with
those high-end phones? That may not
be the answer! High pixel only means
the limit of the largest print size,
not the quality of photos. To ensure
the clarity and the 'touching aspects'
of the photo, we still need the skills
to take photographs. A brief introduction
is as follows:
Clear and sharp photos
Professional photographers are aware
of the importance of maintaining the
stability of cameras, so they will
spend thousands dollars to buy high-quality
tripod or similar equipments. In fact,
we should pay extra attention to the
camera's stability when using mobile
phones for photo-shooting, especially
in dark environment where the camera's
shutter speed will automatically turn
to slow. In the course of exposure,
even if the camera is slightly hit,
this will produce a vague picture.
In photo shooting, as suggested you
should hold the cell phone with both
hands to increase the stability effectively.
In addition, we can place the cell
phone on the table and use "Self-mode"
in shooting photos, so this will even
avoid shaking as a result of pressing
the shutter.
Apart from maintaining camera's stability,
increasing the light sensitivity is
another solution to ensure photo clarity
when taking pictures in the dark.
ISO sensitivity will be automatically
adjusted under different lighting
conditions in the automatic mode.
However, at this time we will find
definition of photographs is coarse.
If you have confidence in the stability
of your hands, we can lower ISO value
in the menu to improve the quality
of the photos.
Use 'White Balance' to produce
special effects
Most of us like to see the true color
of photos when taking photos. However,
if we choose 'white balance' manually,
you will be able to change the screen
colors to create many special effects.
When we shoot scenery during the day
with a sun set style, you can choose
white balance mode to change the setting
which selects a different color tone.
This "wrong" color will
change the color of the entire screen
to be warm and beautiful. For those
cell phone users have already mastered
skills in photo shooting, they will
find 'white balance' a very practical
function. And for some mobile phones,
such "special effects" functions
are already built in. Some of them
may seem of little value but the functions
of composition and special effects
with images are of great help, though
we haven't noticed them before. We
hope that all will be able to take
beautiful and memorable pictures through
the cell phones.
