iPhone Camera Hacks
Before you get started, these three simple tips can help with taking stunning photographs with your phone camera.
Focus
When taking a photo, tap on the screen where you want the focus to be, this will automatically adjust both the exposure and the focus for you.
Exposure
You can also adjust the exposure before taking a photo with your phone camera. Press the screen and hold; then slide up or down to increase or decrease exposure and light.
The Grid
Affa suggests enabling the grid on your phone to help with your image compositions. To enable the grid on your camera, simply go to: Settings > Camera > Grid.
