HowTo take decent photos on a camera phone
Virtually all new mobile phones now have a camera within them of some description, from the basic VGA 0.3 megapixel variety, through the current generation of 2 megapixellers, to the top-of-the-line, only-in-Japan 7 megapixel behemoths. Despite a recent survey by StrategyAnalytics Inc. showing that only 28.5% of people actually use their phone’s camera features (and an even more alarming 2.9% use picture messaging to send the photo), the manufacturers are insistent on the mobile phone being the gadget of choice for the masses; as such, it simply must have a camera!
But does this mean that you can throw away your camera and rely solely on your phone? Well, no – just try taking a photo on your phone in poor light and you’ll see why! However, by making use of some of the features within a mobile phone’s camera, you can overcome these limitations, and get the most out of your phone’s camera.
