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

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

you're moving. Adjust the exposure to brighten the subject or make the subject look darker
