5 of the Most Common Phone Camera Mistakes Everyone Makes
by Eguaogie Eghosa Sep 30, 2021 Views (485)
Smartphone cameras are simple to operate. They are convenient, and we can capture stunning photos with a gadget that fits in our pocket. Nonetheless, these cameras have a lot to offer in terms of accessible settings and even several cameras. Of course, when we have a lot of options, we're going to make mistakes.

People who use their smartphone cameras every day are ignorant of the mistakes they are doing and have no clue why their photos are of poor quality.

Here, we'll go through the five most frequent mistakes individuals make while utilizing the cameras on their phones.
Let me first introduce you to Film District Dubai, a world-class organization in Dubai UAE that specializes in Film Equipment Rental, Photo Booth Rental, Audio-Visual Equipment Rental, and Camera Rental.

1. You Fail to Recognize the Subject
You may have seen an Instagram snapshot of a plain blue sky on numerous occasions. And I'm curious about the photograph's subject. If you must photograph the sky, have a topic in mind. At the very least, the sun or some clouds should be visible in the sky. Keep in mind that the photograph should communicate a message, and if the subject is missing, the message is simply not delivered. You should be able to look at your photo and immediately tell your audience what it's about.

What options do you have when it comes to dealing with the situation?
If you're photographing a beach, don't only focus on the sand or the ocean. Instead, include a few more. Palm trees, people, a cottage, a lifeguard station, or whatever else may be there. These topics will draw the viewer's attention to the relevant region of your image, immediately improving its quality.

2. Your photographs are blurry
This is the most vexing mistake we've all made with our phone cameras at some point. Smartphone cameras do not perform as well as full-fledged DSLR cameras. The emphasis in this area may shift, especially if we're talking about low-cost phone cameras. As a result, people frequently take blurry selfies or out-of-focus landscapes or portraits.

In rare cases, our phones can just refuse to properly focus on the intended subject. On 99.99 percent of phones, you can manually concentrate on the subject. Simply tap on the object/subject you want to focus on in your camera app, and the problem will be resolved.

3. Lack of adequate exposure
Proper exposure is essential for high-quality photographs. Overexposure causes an image to become very bright and lose all of its nuances. An underexposed photograph, on the other hand, is very dark, and all of the details are lost. This function is visible when you position your phone camera outside your window. So, what comes next? The phone, on the other hand, will require some time to properly expose the photograph. After a second or two, you can clearly see what's beyond the glass, as the shot has gone from properly exposed to underexposed. This is also true for the human eye.

This mistake can be readily remedied. Allow your phone to make exposure adjustments for you. If you wait a few seconds before taking a shot, everything should be OK. It's not necessary to start shooting as soon as you have your phone out. If the exposure does not alter on its own, shift the subject to the opposite side and play about with the lighting. If that's not enough, you may experiment with the ISO and aperture. This is rarely necessary, as the previous two choices nearly always work.

4. Poor or average night photography
One area where a DSLR significantly surpasses a smartphone is a night photography. Sure, some new flagships can take amazing night photos, but a DSLR has a bigger sensor and is just a better option for night shooting. You may now argue that your night photos are bad since you don't have a flagship phone.

In low-light circumstances, you have a number of alternatives. The first step is to raise the ISO setting. With a higher ISO, your camera is sure to be more light-sensitive. This will also aid in the reduction of blur caused by camera shake. Another alternative is to enable your HDR setting, which is not available on all phones.

5. Unsuitable Background
When we focus on one thing, we tend to forget about other things. Both in real life and in photography, this is true. As a consequence, the background behind your subject may either detract from or add to the photograph. When you take a picture, you'll find that your subject looks to be rather good, but there's a lot of clutter in the backdrop that takes the viewer's attention away from the subject. If this is the case, you've made a mistake! There are a few viable options for dealing with this. Begin by picking an acceptable background. If you have even a smidgeon of photographic aptitude, you'll know immediately where to position your subject.

Here are five of the most common blunders people make while shooting photographs with their cellphones. Remember these tips the next time you decide to use your smartphone's camera, and you'll probably be happier with the results than you were before.
