Tips on taking good photographs

Here are some tips on how to get the most out of your smartphone’s camera.

Picture quality

Use the appropriate picture quality. The camera has three picture quality modes (Basic, Normal, and High). Use the High setting to make sure that the camera produces the best picture quality available. Note however, that better picture quality requires more storage space. For MMS and e-mail attachments it may be necessary to use Normal, or Basic setting. You can define the quality in Tools

>Settings... and the quality level is indicated in the top right hand corner of the viewfinder.

Background

Use a simple background. For portraits and other pictures with people, avoid having your subject in front of a cluttered, complex background that may distract attention from the subject. Move the camera, or the subject, when these conditions cannot be met.

Depth

When shooting landscapes and sceneries, you can add depth to your pictures by placing objects into the foreground. Note however, that if the foreground object is too close to camera, it may be blurred.

Lighting conditions

Changing the source, amount and direction of light can change photographs dramatically. Here are some typical lighting conditions:

•Light source behind the subject. Try to avoid placing your subject in front of a strong light source. If the light source is behind the subject or visible in the display, the resulting picture may have weak contrast, may be too dark, and may contain unwanted light effects.

•Sidelit subject. Strong side light gives dramatic effect but may be too harsh resulting in too much contrast.
