smartphone cameras are better than ever
0:03
and are generally nearly as good as a
0:06
small handheld camera especially with
0:07
features like 4K video portrait mode and
0:10
night mode but what you might not know
0:11
or might not be fully comfortable with
0:13
is pro mode smartphones have this
0:16
advanced mode hidden away in the camera
0:18
settings for photographers who are used
0:19
to working with the more manual controls
0:22
of their DSLR cameras offer the default
0:24
automatic mode on phone cameras is
0:26
certainly plenty for most people and
0:28
it's intelligent enough to pick the
0:29
right settings for the moment but to
0:31
have full creative control and get the
0:33
perfect shot Pro mode is here
0:36
I'll be recording this on a Samsung
0:38
Galaxy but the process controls and best
0:41
practices will be similar across other
0:43
Android devices unfortunately the iPhone
0:45
doesn't have a dedicated Pro mode but
0:48
you'll still be able to find some of
0:49
these settings in your camera app
0:51
the terminology being used here is
0:53
standard camera terminology so
0:55
regardless of what kind of phone you
0:57
have or if you're even working on a
0:59
camera you'll be able to use these
1:00
lessons to take better photos
1:02
so open your phone's camera app then
1:04
navigate to your full list of extra
1:06
camera options locate and tap on Pro
1:09
mode if you're familiar with camera
1:11
settings already then you can probably
1:12
figure it out from here but for those of
1:14
you who want to learn how to leverage
1:15
the full power of your camera we'll go
1:17
ahead and Define all of the available
1:20
ISO ISO or ISO controls the light
1:24
sensitivity of a camera low values are
1:27
ideal for brightly lit or stationary
1:28
subjects and high values are better for
1:31
poorly lit or fast moving subjects
1:33
ISO is not a magical tool to take
1:36
pictures in the dark however the higher
1:38
the value the more noise will be
1:39
introduced into your photos
1:42
shutter speed shutter speed is how slow
1:45
or fast the camera shutter closes
1:48
a slow shutter speed lets in more light
1:50
so the image will be brighter while a
1:52
fast shutter speed lets in less light
1:54
and will thus result in a darker image
1:56
so a slow shutter speed is better for
1:58
night time shots as well as scenery
2:00
shots with no movement and you should
2:02
use a fast shutter speed for capturing
2:04
photos of fast motion so that you don't
2:06
get a blurry image EV EV is simply the
2:10
exposure value which can adjust the
2:12
overall brightness of the image
2:17
Focus lets you choose between automatic
2:20
and manual Auto will automatically focus
2:23
on what the camera sees fit and will
2:24
work great for most normal photos
2:27
manual mode lets you adjust a slider to
2:29
change the focus distance it will let
2:31
you achieve depth of field without
2:32
moving your phone around One Direction
2:35
is good for focusing right in front of
2:36
you and the other direction is good for
2:38
focusing on Far Away objects like
2:39
scenery white balance white balance
2:43
adjusts the color temperature on one end
2:45
of the spectrum is blue or cold and on
2:47
the other end of the spectrum is orange
2:49
or warm you can adjust this while taking
2:51
a photo so your photo can look true to
2:55
now we have some standard controls there
2:58
are various standard controls that can
2:59
make adjustments to your photo in camera
3:01
this lets you control things like
3:03
contrast highlights Shadows saturation
3:05
tint and color temperature all within
3:07
the camera these kinds of adjustments
3:09
are easy to do in most editing programs
3:11
such as Lightroom but why not do them in
3:13
camera if you have the time to set it up
3:16
Pro mode is an awesome tool in
3:18
smartphones that gives you more control
3:19
over your photos but phone cameras do
3:22
such a great job already then it may not
3:24
give you much of an advantage that being
3:26
said it is a fantastic entry point to
3:28
learning DSLR photography you can spend
3:31
time playing with these settings on a
3:32
device you probably already have before
3:34
spending hundreds or thousands of
3:36
dollars more on a DSLR camera setup it
3:39
is a great starting point and can make
3:40
some of your photos stand out from the
3:42
rest while for most photos the fully
3:44
automatic mode will probably get the job
3:46
done sometimes you want to capture a
3:48
very specific moment in a very specific
3:50
way and pro mode can give you the
3:52
creative freedom to do that do you use
3:54
Pro camera mode on your phone let us
3:56
know if you find it useful or if you
3:58
prefer to just put it on Full Auto and
3:59
Trust the device to work its magic and
