In photography, there is a well-known guideline for better composition called “The Rule of Thirds.” Use it to make better photos.
Every once in a while, we make the mistake of using our iPhone to record video as if we are making a still photograph. We tend to prefer vertical photos and accordingly, don’t always remember to rotate the phone to horizontal for video.
If you’re lucky enough to have one of the new 11 series iPhones, you have some of the best camera technology ever found in a smartphone. And you of course have the ability to zoom. If you have the iPhone 11 Pro or 11 Pro Max, you have a 2X optical zoom. This will give you the best quality compared with using digital zoom (which goes to 10X on these phones.)
Sometimes action happens when you least expect it. When the perfect moment happens, but you don’t have your phone camera powered on, you can miss the shot of a lifetime. Thankfully, iPhone has you covered. Even if your phone is in your pocket, you can have it ready to shoot in under two seconds.
Portrait mode is a fun and powerful computational photography tool that simulates the BOKEH effect. Learn how to turn it off in photos you’ve already shot.
If you use the iPhone camera app, you are no doubt familiar with the software button that lives dead center bottom of the screen.
Over the last eighteen months, a lot has changed. Panasonic, Sony, GoPro and, most recently, Canon have brought new 4K capable cameras to market. Even our smartphones now capture 4K video. With this in mind, you may be wondering what all the fuss is about. Let’s see if we can shed some light on that issue.
Apple has revamped many of the controls in its iOS Camera app. This is because some new features require new behavior.
If you want to steady the camera or you want to press the shutter but still have time to run around and star in your own picture, you need the self-timer.
Portrait lighting works with Portrait mode to create cool lighting effects that mimic a real photography studio.
