Capture Better Photos Here are some tips on how to improve the quality of your photos on your phone. Improve Focus and Sharpness Your phone’s camera has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much. To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, touch the one you want to focus on. If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, touch and hold the subject to lock the focus. You can manually adjust the sharpness of a photo by editing in the Gallery app. You can also set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings. Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an image. Take Well-lit Photos Your phone automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears underexposed or appears dark on the Viewfinder screen, touch a part of the image that is in shadow. Conversely, touch a well-lit object in the image if the image seems to be overexposed. Focus on an object with a neutral tone for a balanced exposure. Keep in mind that touching on another object may shift the focus from your subject. If you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch to Night scene, but use a tripod or place your phone on a level surface. If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR mode to capture three shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep your phone steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR. When taking a panorama shot, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.
