Tips for capturing better photos
To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while taking your
shots.
Before capturing
§ Make sure that the camera and flash lenses are clean and without fingerprints. Use a soft,
clean, microfiber cloth to wipe them.
§ Hold the phone so that your fingers aren't blocking the camera and flash lenses.
For clear, sharp shots
§ Tap the screen to focus and dynamically readjust the image contrast, which is sometimes
desirable if you wish to take a macro to get an off-center bokeh effect or take photos while
you're moving. Adjust the exposure to brighten the subject or make the subject look darker
and richer. For details, see
Quickly adjusting the exposure of your photos on page 68.
§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.
