phones has manual shooting
capabilities.
Basic Settings
Using manual controls you can manipulate settings
to produce the image you really want.
We know manual mode can be intimidating for

casual users; especially those with no knowledge of
advanced camera theory.
While it is true Photography is an extensive subject,

we can teach you the basics and have you shooting
manual with your smartphone in no time.
In Photography, the exposure triangle is a

visualization of how ISO, aperture , and shutter
speed work together.
You must find balance between these three elements

to expose an image correctly while keeping in mind
how altering each element affect quality.
Basic Settings
ISO: International Organization of Standardization
● Standardizing sensitivity rating for camera

sensors.
● Altering ISO will determine how sensitive a

sensor is to light.
● Lower ISO will make the sensor less sensitive

to light;
- To make aperture wider and/or slow down
the shutter speed.
- The image will be cleaner
● Increasing ISO will let you capture light faster;

- Allowing you to speed up the shutter or
widen the aperture
- But , it will make for an image with more
grain or digital noise.
- The quality of the image decrease as you
increase ISO.
Basic Settings
SHUTTER SPEED:
● Camera systems have a shutter that covers

and uncovers the sensor.
● Shutter speed determines the length of time.
● This shutter will stay open to allow more light

to reach the sensor.
● A faster shutter will result in less expose,

- But, it will make images sharper.
● Extending the shutter speed can create

motion blur,
- But, it will let light in for a longer period of
time, providing more exposure.
Basic Settings
APERTURE:
● Camera system have a diaphragm, which is a

hole through which light has to go through to
reach the sensor. Aperture controls how wide or
narrow this hole is.
● A wider aperture will increase exposure.
● It will also decrease depth of field and make the
background/foreground blurrier.
Tips!
● If you want to keep more in focus, a narrower

aperture will do better.
● But you will have to make up for the lost
exposure modifying the ISO or shutter speed.
● A larger number will signify a narrower aperture.
● For example, f/1.8 wider than f/2.8.
Basic Settings
WB: White Balance
● WB is a very common setting you’ll probably

find included even in basic camera apps.
● This setting adjusts the color that represents
white light, thereby shifting all of the other colors
too.
● At the most basic level, you will probably have
seen white balance settings that allow you to
compensate for cloudy or sunny outdoor shots
and incandescent or fluorescent lights.
● Some apps offer up color correction using a full
kelvin (K) color temperature scale.
● This allows a finer tuning of the white point,
between overly red at 2000K and ridiculously
blue at 9000K.
Basic Settings
EXPOSURE COMPENSATION:
● Most smartphone cameras have exposure

compensation, and it helps when any of your
settings are in auto (you can leave settings in
auto, even in manual mode).
● Cameras try to get the right exposure by
measuring light, but they don’t always get what
you intended to capture.
● With exposure compensation you can tell the
camera it’s capturing exposure incorrectly, and it
will make up for it by adjusting settings in auto
(usually ISO).
● It is usually measured by f stops like so:

- -1.0, -0.7, -0.3, 0.0, +0.3, +0.7, +1.0.
- -1.0 would be one stop less,
- +1.0 is a stop higher.
Basic Settings
Shooting RAW:
● Many phones these days have RAW support.

● A RAW image is known as an uncompressed,
unedited image file.
● It keeps all data captured by the sensor, making
it a much larger file.
● But with no quality loss and more editing power.
● RAW should only be used if you’re planning on
going back to edit your pictures.
● While saving a picture to JPEG chucks away
image data and compresses the picture.
● This is perfectly fine if you’re planning to upload
a picture to Facebook or take a quick snap for
your gallery.
Basic Settings
EXTERNAL LENS:
● To optimize your skill up to another level, by

adding the external lens which can produce an
amazing picture.
● Combination of Micro and Wide lens will help
you take a details of the object and wide the
angle of the pictures.
● This is why a professional photographer can
do amazing things even with a cheap
smartphone camera.
● You don’t need an amazing camera to take a
great picture, but you do need to be able to
make the most of what you have.
