8 tips to capture better photos with Android phone

1. Activate Flash during the day too: The flash during day will ensure that daytime details are revealed as it improves exposure on subject’s cheeks and other blown-out areas. You should stay close to subject when you are using the flash.

2. Adjust ISO settings for better shots at night: At night, avoid flash but turn to moderate light source available. You can manually adjust the ISO to about 400 for dark situations.

3.  Avoid the digital zoom: The digital room will blow up the pixels instead of capturing those finer details. Instead, you can take your images and use Photoshop on your PC to edit the images later.

4. Ensure great lighting: Ideal lighting enhances quality of photos captured. Have the light at your back when taking shots. Consider having multiple light sources for best shots similar to what the studios use.

5. Take sharper photos: Staying still while firing lens, holding camera with both hands and tucking your elbows on your body sides would ensure you take sharper photos that are not blurred. You may also want to increase the shutter speed of your Android phone camera.

6. Draw focus using blur: Blur the background to draw focus on your subject. Ample light is necessary to achieve this effect.

7.  Make use of timer apps: Even though your phone has built-in camera app, you will access more features when you add-on-apps and this will make better shots. In your phone’s Quick Settings 3, you will see Timer which you should enable.

8.  Pull a unique move: Finally, you can try to have something unique like taking shots from unique perspectives like kid height and see how it happens. Just be careful that you remain close to your subject.
