◆ 01: Knowing the habit of auto mode


Shooting with Automatic Focus and Exposure Shooting Performance differs depending on the smartphone and the application. You can know the habit of the auto mode by trying auto shooting by raising the ISO value or lengthening the shutter speed, so you can learn which timing and environment are suitable for shooting.

◆ 02: Ignore the default setting
Default settings may not work well in cloudy skies and indoors. I feel that the white balance is not working, or change the settings manually when there is insufficient exposure. When you want to take a picture with a slightly blurred picture, it is OK if you raise the ISO value. Flash is sometimes useful. If correct measurement can not be done with center-weighted metering, changing to spot metering may be able to capture the picture as expected.

◆ 03: Keeping good attitude during shooting
Depending on how well you hold a good posture to shoot a properly focused photo. Stretching and spreading the arms will cause camera shake, it is effective to take the elbow close to the body. Using a tripod for smartphones is perfect.

◆ 04: Utilize HDR mode


Smartphones in a single photoDynamic rangeIt tends to be narrow, making it difficult to shoot in shaded places such as shaded forests. HDR (High dynamic range synthesisBy using the mode, you can synthesize two photos and reproduce the details cleanly. Samsung's smartphone is particularly excellent in HDR mode.

However, since two photos are automatically taken, it may not be suitable for shooting with a good tempo, or an unnatural effect due to composition may appear. It is not necessary to keep the HDR mode on at all times.

◆ 05: Image ratio that can use sensor as much as possible


Although the image ratio of most smartphones is fixed to 16: 9 by default, it may correspond only to the image capture rate of the sensor up to 4: 3. For Galaxy S5 and HTC One M8, the sensor supports 16: 9, but for other smartphones you can effectively utilize the sensor of the camera by changing the image ratio to 4: 3. You can now shoot the entire photo at full resolution, and you can resize it later to 16: 9.

◆ 06: Edit after shooting
It is essential to "shoot beautiful photos at the shooting stage", but you can tailor more beautiful photos by adding edits, such as sharpening after shooting. With PCPhotoshop LightroomIt is good to use an iPhone or look for applications that can be used on smartphones and tablets.

◆ 07: Check the App Store
You do not need to use the smartphone's default camera application. You can check the app store of each device such as Google Play, App Store, Windows Phone Store and install the most famous one. Android devicesCamera Zoom FX, IOSCamera +YaProCamera HDThere are things that I recommend. If you are using a Nokia terminal equipped with Windows PhoneNokia CameraThat's OK.

◆ 08: Never use zoom


Although smartphone cameras have a zoom function, digital zoom is mostly not optical zooming. In order to shoot the best picture, it is better not to use zoom in any situation. Even if you can not shoot with the composition you want, you can respond by trimming the photo after shooting.

◆ 09: Photo like Digiichi in macro mode
It is difficult to shoot a blurred background like a digital single lens reflex camera unless it is a special device like a twin sensor type "HTC One (M8)" Duo Camera "when shooting on a medium range of a smartphone. However, if smartphones capable of wide-angle shooting such as Xperia Z2 with F value of 2.0 can shoot landscape in zoom mode, you can obtain effects like digital single lens reflex.

◆ 10: Light is Justice
Smartphone camera sensors are not well suited for taking pictures in dark places. It's best if you have a shooting device that can produce artificial light like a digital single lens reflex, but it's not realistic and the flash of the smartphone is not very practical level. So it is important to avoid photographing on a cloudy day or the like where the light diffuses by firmly checking how natural light enters, such as the direction of backlight and shadow. If the camera can set the ISO value, setting it to ISO 100 makes sharp and impressive shooting possible. Just using white paper instead of a reflector has an effect.
