My earlier feature on getting the best out of your digital camera was a guideline to some elementary photography techniques, but when it comes to phone cameras the game plays a bit differently.
To begin with phone cameras contain a weaker CMOS sensor instead of your digicam’s CCD. The CMOS sensor is extremely efficient when it comes to size and energy consumption, but it gets a bit fussy on the image clarity front. Though the tips mentioned in the digicam article are still applicable here, there are a few other things you can do to get some great shots from your phone camera as well. Without further delay let’s start with —
Use ample lighting
The CCD sensor loves light. Give it a brightly lit setup and it will happily click good pictures for you. But once the light level becomes less than adequate, your image will be plagued with noise.
Daylight is a phone cam's best friend
Shooting outside in bright sunlight will definitely give you the best results from your phone camera. When shooting indoors, make sure all the lights are turned on. Don’t limit your phone camera flash (If it has one), to only night shots, any extra lighting will improve the quality on the image.
The most important thing is that u need to experience ur cellphone's camera. Fiddle with it endlessly, take random shots and in the end u are sure to hit on the right combination for a given situation. Once u become one with the fone cam all the settings like exposure vals, WB, use of macro will become a breeze.
