Taking Better Photos Using Your Camera Phone Tips: -

• Define the most appropriate setting
Adjust settings such as weather and lighting environment before you start taking pictures. The flash settings is also important, you can opt whether to use auto flash or no flash accordingly.

• Be as steady as possible
The lens on a camera phone is smaller compared to a digital camera, making it very susceptible to camera shake. This will produce blurry images even if you move the phone just a little bit. This applies in low light situations.

• Mind the light
This refers to how the light is set and also the quantity of light available. Be aware of your main light source.

• Close ups
Camera phones function better at taking close up photos. In addition, this also reduces the effects of camera shake.

• Take photos of still objects / subjects
Less movement of the object / subject will yield a clearer & sharper photo.

• Edit your photos
You can either edit your photos with the built-in image editing software in your phone or use Photoshop on your PC / Laptop later on for better results. 

• Protect your lens and make sure it is clean and free from scratches
You can buy a casing to protect your phone for this purpose.

• Select the highest resolution
This is the best resolution when you plan to print out the picture.

• Avoid using your digital zoom
Using the digital zoom will lower the quality of your photo.
