Our smart phones are multifunctional devices that are able to do many diverse things. Most often, of course, people use them to surf the web, communicate in social networks and photographing. Many iPhone has long replaced the main camera, others are on the way to it, but not all the pictures are equally good, and not for everyone. What useful functions your iPhone has a camera and how to use them correctly, I'll tell you in this article.
1. Improving frame composition using the grid
Properly constructed frame is half successful photos. Often, people do not pay attention to this important point and shoot properly positioning the object in the frame, and suffers the whole picture as a whole.
Such flaws can easily be avoided if you take advantage of the grid function, which is superimposed on the viewfinder and helps in determining the proportions of the frame and the correct layout. Enable it can be in the system settings, see Photo and CameraParagraph is called Grid.
Immediately after turning on the grid of your photos will not be perfect and you will need to practice before what it does, but with a grid to achieve good results, you will be much easier than without it.
2. Add as much light as you need
Sometimes you have to take pictures in low light conditions. In this case, to achieve good results is difficult, because of the amount of light entering the frame, directly depends on the quality of the image. But do not despair. If you need to take a photo at dusk and dark room, you can use the lock function of exposure and auto-focus:
- point the camera at a dark portion of the frame and make the tap while holding until the display shows AE lock / Focus;
- is now in the frame significantly brighten and you can make more or less decent photos without a flash;
Also keep in mind that such a lock can be used for experiments with a depth of focus, because in addition to autofocus and exposure is blocked.
3. Make a greater coverage of the landscape with the help of the panorama mode
Incredibly convenient function that many people forget or ignore its use when shooting landscapes and large open spaces. Here's how it works:
- open the camera and takes swipe left to switch to Panorama (He in the end);
- press the shutter button, then simply move the camera slowly following the line of horizon and the forward automatically determining.
Panorama mode on the iPhone is incredibly simple, but there are two points about which many people do not realize: You can change shooting direction via tapa, and use panorama mode in the vertical orientation. This will help you to photograph objects of any width and height, so they will fit in the frame.
4. Use burst mode for fast action
Burst Mode appeared on the iPhone recently, but its usefulness is already appreciated by many. When shooting moving subjects are very difficult to make a good photo and do not miss the event itself, you want to capture. In such cases, do not neglect the burst mode. Simply press and hold the shutter button and your iPhone will do as many frames per second as it can (up to 30 frames per second on the latest models).
So in sledyuschy time you shoot sporting events, children, or pets, be sure to take this advice.
5. Use filters to add emotion
Previously, the use of filters had to resort to the help of third-party applications, but now this is not necessary. iPhone camera does not contain such a rich set of filters as a Specialty applications, but in most cases is sufficient. They are very easy to use:
- opening the chamber and press the piktogrammmu three circles to the right of the shutter button;
- Using the preview select desired filter.
In total there are 8 effects, including black and white and sepia photos, so that in any case you will find something suitable for a particular event. Effects can also be applied after shooting, it is sufficient to press Fotplenke amend and choose the button with the familiar circles.
