Camera
in smartphones has come a long way. From a 0.3MP digital camera to
the 64MP camera available on Realme XT launched recently. Camera is
one of the most important components when it comes to a smartphone.
The camera in smartphones have become so much better than before that you
can easily say that it is not a camera in a smartphone but smartphone
in a camera.
Does
Megapixels really matter?
It
matters when needed and does not when it isn’t. Confused? See, I
am not an expert in photography but one thing I know is that higher megapixel count only
helps when you want to go into details. If you simply want to post a
selfie on Facebook or Instagram then you do not need those pixels as
you would not want anyone to zoom in your skin and see those mar...a well-lit picture is far better than an average high-megapixel
image. There are other things that matter in a camera which includes
things such as exposure, white balance and brightness and other
technical terms that even I can’t explain.
Importance
of lighting and other things
You
can see anything only if light falls on it, if there’s no light
then you can’t see it. Have you ever noticed that you get a bad
picture when you have a smudge or dust on the camera lens? It is
because of the light only which get deflected and spoils the image.
If you use the light properly then you can take hell a good pics.
There is a reason why phones nowadays come with multiple cameras.
Even the latest iPhone 11 pro also has 3 cameras at its back and
guess what? All the cameras are only 12 MP cameras! Though they total
up to be 39 MP, each camera lens has its own function to do.
Can
I take good photos with a camera having low megapixel count?
If
you are still in doubt then you should check the previously mentioned
info again. See, if you see a good scene, go ahead and capture it.
The only thing to take care of is lighting and you can also play with
it sometimes to give your image a unique touch.
Let
me show you an example of playing with the lighting. Look at all the
pictures attached below and tell me which of those images have been
taken from a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 that has a 13MP back camera which is now a 2-year old device.
Wasn’t
it tough? Guess what? All the photos have been taken by Xiaomi Redmi Note 4.
Now you know what I have been talking in this article. So, go ahead
and take pics as you want, experiment with angles, lighting and other
factors and make your pics stand out in social media.
The
world of photography is very vast and what I have discussed is just
the tip of an iceberg. There are many things that even I don’t know
and are very important from the photography aspect. If you want any
such concept to be discussed then you can let me know through social
media or any other medium we are connected with.
