Between iPhone 11 Pro and Google Pixel 4 .. How to get the most out of your smartphone camera?

Although the latest Apple and Google phones are equipped with software that improves image quality automatically, but you can also control your phone's camera to get an ideal image that you will be satisfied with.

Writer Ji has published. De. In a report to the American newspaper "The New York Times", BeardSurfer said that good smart phones give you the chance to take a truly perfect picture, thanks to the best lenses, powerful equipment and integrated computer imaging software for photo editing.

The original camera app of your phone makes it easy to take a photo with just a few clicks. But if you change your phone recently and want to go deeper into the latest hardware and software, here are some tips, by highlighting the iPhone 11 Pro Max from Apple and the Pixel 4XL from Google.

Zoom Image
Each edition of the iPhone 11 family has two cameras to capture a wide picture, but the iPhone 11 Pro version emerged with a third close-up lens.

To quickly switch between cameras in shooting mode, tap the screen and choose 0.5x (ultra wide lens), 1x (wide) or 2x (telephoto). To zoom in or out up to ten times, tap the screen or the Zoom option and slide your finger over the disk that appears. 

If you have a 4-pixel version that has a close-up lens in addition to the main camera with a 1x magnification feature, tap the screen twice to go directly to the double zoom feature.

The Pixel 4 can zoom digitally up to eight times, and although the image may lose some quality as it gets bigger, Google's "SuperRise Zoom" technology improves the image quality.

Shooting in the dark
Night mode works in the iPhone 11 when the camera is open in low light, as a small crescent icon appears on the screen to indicate the calculated capture time to pull enough light to the photo. To deactivate the Night Mode feature, tap the moon icon and use the on-screen slider to set the time the image was taken. 

In addition to the night mode, the iPhone 11 versions - running at least iOS 13.2 - have a "deep fusion" feature, which is Apple's machine learning feature that works in low to medium lighting and combines the best parts together in one detailed image. The Deep Fusion feature works automatically, as long as you don't use a lens with a super wide angle.

Google devices have special settings for low-light, called "night vision." In order to enable this feature on Pixel 4, open the Camera app and select "Night Vision" mode. Then the close button will appear to you in the form of a moon icon, when you click on this icon a circular timer will appear in front of you, which will guide you to the necessity of the stability of the camera while taking the photo.

Google's "Night Vision" mode includes astronomical feature to take pictures of the vast night sky, and also works effectively away from light-polluted places, such as big cities.

To use the phone to photograph stars, make sure that the "Night Vision" mode is enabled and the device is installed on a tripod or on a fixed surface, and when the "astronomical photography" signal appears, click on the moon icon and wait for the timer to expire on the screen.

Adjusting "portraits"
Many smartphones have included in the past few years, the "Portrait" mode to maintain the focus of the person, animal or the opposite object, while the background is blurred. In order to enable this mode on iPhone 11, open the camera app and click on the phrase "Portrait."

On-screen instructions will guide you how to frame the photo, and you can also enable lighting effects before or after you take the photo. In order to set the background to Portrait mode in the camera log, open the image and press the Depth Control button at the top of the screen, and set the slider that appears below.

Google has also made improvements to portrait mode on 4 pixels, which currently have two cameras that capture the image instead of just one. In order to activate this mode, open the camera and click on "Portrait". 

Deep Search
No matter what type of phone you have, be sure to explore all of the camera's features, image editing tools and their settings for optional features, such as aids and shortcuts. The phone itself may give you tips on the screen, but online guidance for iPhone 11 and Pixel 4 also provides a lot of information to share with those who want to make the most out of mobile photography.
