How To Take Quality Photos With Your iPhone Device(Picture Perfect) by Vysend: 9:12am On Sep 09, 2020
Your iPhone takes great photos, always, but they can even be better. For example, you can control the exposure, take more time to compose before you hit the shutter, and make better use of the tools available to you. Online there is a crash course on iPhoneography but why not take these few tips from Vysend and shoot better shots right away.

When you launch the camera app, you’ll see all the available features at the top of the screen from left to right these are:
Flash: To choose between Auto, On, or Off.
Live Photos: Tap the yellow icon to capture Live Photos alongside your still shots.
Live Photos capture a small amount of video and audio when you press the shutter.
Timer: Choose three or 10 seconds or Off.
Filters: You can preview filters while you shoot. You can also disable them in post-production if you want.

At the bottom of the screen are the various modes in which you can shoot. If you leave your camera settings in the default, it resets to Photo mode every time you relaunch the Photos app.

You can swipe left or right to access the following camera modes:

Photo: Still photos with the option of Live Photos.
Video: Shoot videos at the quality stated in the Camera settings.
Time-Lapse: This is an automatic time-lapse mode that shoots still images at “dynamic intervals” to create time-lapse videos.
Slo-Mo: Record slow-motion video at the quality stated in the Camera settings.
Portrait: Devices with more than one camera can use this mode to add depth-of-field and lighting effects to portraits and other objects.
Square: Capture square-format images.
Pano: Shoot panoramic images by moving your phone horizontally. Your device automatically stitches the images together �

At the bottom of the screen, you’ll see the shutter button (white for stills, red for video). There’s also a shortcut to the last photo you took in the Camera Roll at the bottom left, and a button to switch to the front-facing camera at the bottom right.
You may also want to change the video quality settings, head to Settings then Camera. With the basics out of the way, we can now move on to 6 practical tips to taking quality pictures with your iPhone Device

1.Control Focus and Exposure:

The Camera app allows you to touch the scene to set focus and exposure in a single move. For almost total control, tap and hold to lock the exposure and focus, and then slide your finger up or down to adjust the exposure value. Often, the item you want to focus on (a cocktail, for example) isn’t necessarily the part of the image you want to expose for (the sunset, for example). Much of the time, the camera app overexposes images and loses details in the highlights and colours.

2. Use the Telephoto Lens (or Your Feet) to Zoom:

If you want to zoom in on your subject, it’s best to do so by single tapping the “1x.” This guarantees the best quality image because it relies solely on optics rather than digital zoom, which stretches and resamples the image. If you “pinch to zoom” beyond the “2x” point, it degrades image quality. Getting close to your subject and shooting with your strongest lens is a simple recipe for capturing high-quality images.


3. Use Portrait Mode:

Portrait mode uses depth-sensing technology to detect a subject’s edges and blur the background to apply a simulated depth-of-field effect. You can also use it to apply a variety of simulated lighting effects post- and pre-shoot. To shoot in Portrait mode, swipe the viewfinder and select it as the shooting mode in the Camera app. If you have an iPhone 11, you can shoot more than portraits in this mode.

The iPhone 11 includes expanded support to use Portrait mode for pictures of pets and inanimate objects. However, the image above was taken with an iPhone X in Portrait mode, and it still detected the cat’s face. If you have an iPhone 7 plus or later with two cameras, you can use Portrait mode. The technology has improved as iOS has matured, but edge-detection often makes or breaks a shot. When it works, the trickery is virtually undetectable.

4. Shoot with the Volume Buttons:

This might seem like an obvious tip as this feature has been on iOS for years, but you can also use the volume buttons on the side of your device to shoot photos. You can use it to shoot stills, burst (just hold it down), or to start and stop recording video.

This grip can reduce camera shake. You’re also less likely to obscure the screen with which you’re trying to compose, or accidentally swipe into another mode, or take a burst shot. It also makes one-handed selfies easier to shoot with the front-facing camera—just be careful not to hit the Sleep/Wake button.

5. Use Filters Before or After Shooting:

Did you know Apple’s photo filters are all non-destructive? This means you can tap the Filters button at the top of the Camera app, apply any filter, and then shoot as many images as you want without committing to that filter. To remove or try any other filter, head to the Photos app, find the image you want, tap “Edit,” and then tap the filters button at the bottom of the screen. Tap “Original” to remove the current filter or choose another one.

6. Avoid Flash Whenever Possible:

Most smartphone flashes are bad, and the iPhone’s is no exception. It works fine in a pinch, but most of the time, it results in washed-out, unflattering images. You might also draw unwanted attention to yourself, particularly if you forget to turn off the flash, and it fires while you’re on the bus or in class. Instead of using the flash, seek out other light sources.

You can refer to Vysend tips you’ve learned earlier to lock and adjust your exposure and work with the environment. You’ll get more interesting photos, more natural skin tones, and have to think creatively at the moment to find a solution. In short, you’ll become a better photographer. It’s best to use flash only if you need to find your keys in the dark or scan documents with Notes.


Now Take Better Photos

The camera is a consistent high point in each annual iPhone refresh. Apple might not always take the crown for the best smartphone camera, but they rarely let shutterbugs down. Armed with these tips, you’ll take better smartphone photos than ever before.
