Currently, high-end smartphones, especially models aimed at photography, are equipped with good hardware and software, capable of providing excellent quality results.
More affordable smartphones involve the use of some tricks to improve image capture. In this article, we show you some tips that you can use when taking a photo with a more affordable smartphone.
1. Be patient and give it time
It’s an unavoidable truth, cheaper smartphones are slower. There is a significant delay between pressing the button to take the photo and the actual capture of the image. The shutter sound is a reliable indicator that ensures the camera has finished capturing the desired image.
With cheap smartphones, you have to be patient. It will take some time between pressing the button to take the photo until you hear the shutter sound. In these long moments, also try to stay as still as possible to get the best results.
2. Camera shortcuts
More affordable smartphones also take longer to open the camera app. A good trick to speed up this process is to know all the possible shortcuts to activate the camera.
Some Android models may have the camera activated in the background. Check the Settings menu in the camera app to find out about all the shortcuts that allow you to activate photography mode.
3. Camera Settings
Even the cheapest models have a wide variety of settings in the camera application. Invest some of your time optimizing the possible options to obtain better results.
In the case of resolution, it is always better to use the one recommended by the brand, which is already marked as the default option. AI optimizations can be deactivated, which will speed up the terminal’s operation.
Always keep High Dynamics Range (HDR) mode activated. This feature will improve the details in the image and increase its quality.
4. Camera modes
The most affordable smartphones have several camera modes. Whenever you can, use night mode. It doesn’t even have to be at night, as this mode will improve images captured in low-light environments and even sunset scenes.
Burst mode captures multiple images in quick succession. This mode is very useful, as you can later choose the best image from all those captured. With this mode you cannot have HDR activated, so you have less good image quality.
As for zoom, the best thing is to use your legs and get close enough to the object to be photographed. The digital zoom of cheap models affects (a lot) the quality of the image captured.
