The mobile phones have significantly improved the automatic firing of the camera, although unfortunately it usually misses capabilities at the photographic level, even more if your device belongs to the high range.

To make the most of your camera, it is best to always use the Pro mode – which can come with a different denomination, according to the manufacturer -, with which You can retouch virtually any value, in addition to getting better results.

Precisely, the different preset

Change the image format to RAW

One of the first issues to be taken into account to use a mobile camera professionally is The greatest value in fps–.

In this case, from the Pro mode of the camera interface, a symbol will appear at the top of it, with the type of format in which the photos are saved: in the PRO, the RAW format usually comes predefined.

As an advantage, The RAW file format does not compress the imagesunlike what JPG, JPEG and HEIC do – the specific format of the iPhone -, which is the first issue to activate if you want to edit the images a posteriori without losses in their quality.

Touch up with the manual approach

Many cameras already add the manual approach to automatic shot, just by selecting the point you want to represent as the critical focus, that is, the center of the scene. Although it doesn’t always work as it should.

In this case, From the pro mode of the mobile camera you can choose different types of focus – new, depending on the range and the manufacturer of your terminal -, as if it were a Réflex camera.

This option is really remarkable when you want to highlight central elements such as a main flower, also at the macro level, a shooting mode that is usually somewhat more difficult to portray the details.

Change the blur and exposure

In photography, there is a term called the exhibition triangle, which refers to 3 very important values ​​when shooting, in relation to the luminosity and the elements you want to portray: the shutter speed, the opening of the diaphragm and the ISO.

In this case, I will talk about how to use the opening and ISO to compensate for the exhibition – if an image appears with bright colors, such as a nuclear target, you will have to result a burned image – since the shutter speed deserves a section as such.

To better understand opening or exposure, Imagine the chamber lens as a dam that lets water pass in certain cases: A greater opening, the sensor will pass more light – the water in this example–; If it closes, the amount will be lower.

As a general rule, if you choose a lower opening value, the image will have less depth of field, which will achieve a blur similar to the automatic portrait mode of the value – which refers precisely these numbers, with a bar associated with said opening -.

For its part, changing ISO means regulating sensitivity to the light of the moment; In Pro mode, you will find a bar with which you can check which ISO best suits what you want to represent.

Adjust the White Balance

Something essential to start photographs is the adjustment of the Balance of White, an element that you have to compensate before starting to make shots on the scene. With this, you will prevent colors from being different from what you want to show.

For defining this concept more easily, It involves configuring color temperaturewith the objective that the final images do not remain with blue filters – chips – or orange – calids–; In any case, you can also use it for more creative shots.

This value is measured in Kelvin (K) and places the central value, so to speak, in the light that you can capture at noon, in the 5,000 k; From here, it should be reviewed how to shoot every day.

As personal advice, Make a whites with a folio, it is worth the redundancy, white – Without roughness – in front of the camera, you will compensate for the colors to the scene you want to photograph.

Choose the shutter speed

Surely you have seen on more than one occasion an image of traffic lights in the city with a kind of light wake. If you want to achieve this effect, you will only need to understand what the shutter speed implies – in addition to a mobile tripod, of course.

This refers to Time that the shutter remains open – the one that sounds like a click when the shot in an analog chamber – at a lower or slower speed, will better capture the movement in the image, and vice versa.

In short, it is an indispensable element to know how to capture the movement in the images, achieving that luminous traffic of the city.

At the same time, increasing the shutter speed is an ally for situations in which the motion figures are blurred in the photos, although it is not advisable to do this in low light conditions because it will make them even darker.
