Stop Using 1x for Everything! 

Hey Questers, 

We get it. You open the camera, see 1x and tap. Done. 😂📸 

But your phone's different lenses are there for a reason. Here's a quick cheat sheet for when to go 0.6x, 1x or 2x.

0.6x | GO WIDE

Perfect when you want to fit more into the frame. Landscapes & cityscapes. Big group shots. Architecture. Road trips & travel. 🚗 

Pro tip: Get closer to your subject for a more dramatic wide-angle shot. Just watch those edges! 👀


1x | THE ALL-ROUNDER

Your go-to for everyday shots where you want things to look natural and balanced.

Street photography. Food. Pets. Everyday moments. 📸👌 

When in doubt, 1x is your safe bet.


2x | GET CLOSER, WITHOUT MOVING

Great when you want to bring your subject forward and create a more focused composition.

Portraits. Details & close-ups. Stage performances. Street details. 🌸🔍 

It can also give portraits a more flattering perspective than shooting super close at 1x.


THE QUICK RULE

0.6x = More in the frame

1x = Natural & everyday

2x = Focus on the subject
