Hello, Questers! 👋

I have received many questions regarding tips to capture amazing photographs with a smartphone easily. Today, I am here with some simple settings on the iQOO camera app that will help elevate your photography game! Let's explore! 📸✨

1️⃣ Grid Lines: Enable grid lines, and it will divide your frame into thirds, both horizontally and vertically, making it easier to align your subjects and create well-balanced compositions and symmetry. You achieve a well-balanced composition that draws the viewer's eye naturally through the scene. The grid acts as a guide, helping you create visually appealing photos with ease.

2️⃣ HDR (High Dynamic Range): Enable HDR mode to capture photos with enhanced details and vibrant colors, especially in high-contrast scenes. HDR mode ensures that both the highlights and shadows in your photos are well exposed, resulting in stunning, true to life images that pop off the screen. And HDR must be turned off in some scenarios, like capturing moving subjects, low light situations, and high contrast scenes.

3️⃣ Level and Stabilization Option: Ensure your photos are in the correct perspective, perfectly aligned, and always straight. The level option helps you keep your horizon straight, while stabilization helps minimize camera shake, resulting in sharper, clearer images, even in low light conditions or when shooting handheld, and allowing you to capture professional quality photos with ease every time.

4️⃣ Aspect Ratio: The aspect ratio is the proportional relationship between the width and height of an image. In your camera settings, you can select different aspect ratios, such as 4:3, 16:9, or 1:1, depending on your preference and the requirements of your composition.

4:3: This is the standard aspect ratio for most smartphone cameras, offering a balanced frame well suited for a wide range of subjects and compositions.

16:9: Opting for a wider aspect ratio like 16:9 can be ideal for capturing sweeping landscapes, scenery, or cinematic shots, giving your photos a more expansive and wide feel.

1:1: The square aspect ratio is perfect for social medias like Instagram, allowing you to frame your subjects squarely and draw attention to the center of the image.

5️⃣ Use a Tripod or Any Straight Surface for Support: This one is not an app setting, but when capturing photos, whether it's a scenic landscape or a close up shot, utilizing a tripod or any stable surface for support can work wonders.

If you don't have a tripod handy, look for a flat and sturdy surface like a table, wall, or even the ground to stabilize your camera. This helps reduce camera shake, resulting in sharper images, especially in low-light conditions or when using slower shutter speeds. I mostly use it because my hands will shiver a bit sometimes when clicking.

➡️ Utilize the volume button shutter and the gestures for selfies option to capture pictures effortlessly, ensuring a steady grip on your phone while avoiding camera shake. Try turning off mirror selfie mode to ensure that your selfies appear natural and true to life. Additionally, always make it a habit to clean the lens before capturing to prevent any unwanted smudges or blurriness that could affect image quality.

Lastly, don't hesitate to explore the Pro Mode for even more control over your photography settings. Whether it's adjusting exposure, ISO, or shutter speed, it empowers you to fine-tune every aspect of your shot to perfection.

✍️With these simple settings in the camera app, you have everything you need to elevate your photography game and capture stunning pics like a pro. Experiment with each setting, unleash your creativity, and let your iQOO device help you capture moments worth remembering. 📷✨

Happy Clicking,
