Tips on using the camera
Rule of thirds
Don’t place your subject in the middle of the frame. By placing it a third of the way in, you
achieve a better result.
Hold it steady
Avoid blurry photos by holding the camera steady. Try to steady your hand by leaning it
against a solid object. You can also use the self-timer to make sure that the phone is steady
when the photo is taken.
Get closer
By getting as close as possible to your subject, you can avoid relying on the zoom. Try to
fill the viewfinder with your subject.
Stay within the flash range
Photos taken beyond the maximum flash range will be too dark. The maximum flash range
is about four steps from the subject.
Consider variety
Think about different angles, and move towards the object. Take some vertical photos. Try
different positions.
Use a plain background
A plain background helps highlight your subject.
Keep your lens clean
Mobile phones are used in all kinds of weather and places, and carried in pockets and bags.
This results in the camera lens becoming dirty and covered with fingerprints. Use a soft
cloth to clean the lens.
