Usually, the shortcut settings for opening the camera in Android phones are different. But in many devices, you can open your camera by pressing the power button twice.
3. Do not neglect the camera settings
Many smartphones, even cheap ones, have different settings in the camera section, by changing them you can record high-quality photos. Among these settings, we can mention the resolution, HDR capability, Night Mode capability and manual controls to adjust brightness and focal distance, etc. Next, we introduce the most important settings that will help you take good photos with cheap phones.
The camera of some cheap phones has a resolution of 32 or even 50 megapixels; But usually the resolution of output images is 8 or 12.5 pixels. Sometimes we may go to the settings and set the resolution to 50 megapixels, but the recorded images may not be of good quality.
By increasing the resolution in the settings section, the quality of the photos does not necessarily increase, and we may even see a decrease in resolution due to the reduction of received light. In general, it is better to set the device resolution to the default setting.
Artificial intelligence settings
Some budget-class phones use artificial intelligence that recognizes what you are taking a picture of and optimizes the settings accordingly. Of course, the algorithms of artificial intelligence are different in different types of phones of each brand, and the resolution of images does not necessarily increase with the activation of AI.
When AI is active, images may be recorded with exaggerated colors and very poor contrast. As a result, it is recommended that you take some photos before enabling AI in the settings and see if you can capture good images with this feature enabled.
The camera of many phones today is equipped with a feature called HDR. By activating this feature, the details in the darkest and brightest points of the subject are improved and cause a relative increase in the quality of the images.
