#. MaGIC-9. Improve FOCUSSING.!

Hi All,

Session II (final)

Touching the Topic, Focus, once again:

Technically speaking, this post is an indirect way of analysing, how

  1. Aperture
  2. Shutter and
  3. ISO takes part in gifting Good Focus! (I am not going to be technical here)

#. Focusing immediately after Camera App is launched is not advisable: It is always a good practice, to give (Approx.) 3 Seconds for the Camera App to launch, fully; or, Start taking Photos, only after 3 seconds from the time of launch of the App.

#. In low lights, give more time for the Auto-focus to get ready: The camera needs sufficient light to process the Auto-focusing; under very poor lighting condition, the camera will hunt for focusing on a particular object.

#. In very low lights, the Shutter tends to open for longer duration – means, you should be much more steady to get a sharp photo. From the time you “Press” the Camera Button, keep the camera absolutely still, till you hear the shutter closing sound- till the picture is captured.

If you carefully analyze, the Shutter Sound has two parts (Two Clicks together making one Sound) or two sounds together make the Shutter Sound – One, click while the Curtain of the shutter opens and the next Click when the curtain closes.(not very prominent in Mobile Cameras; more prominent in SLR & DSLR).

#. Such conditions, a Mobile Stand / Tripod Stand will be extremely useful. Please wait, till the camera completes the shot, fully, in any case.

#. Also, in low light, the camera will automatically (when you are in “Auto” Mode) increase the Sensitivity / ISO (ISO = International Standards’ Organization or International Organization for Standardization), resulting in high Grains (poor resolution), ending in poorly focused like photos.

#. Avoid Continuous, accidental Pressing of the “Trigger Button” (here, the Volume Button) – This will result in “Burst Shot”, which will result in, many similar photos.

#. Keeping the Camera in Parallel to the object will give you more accurate shape of the object; in other words, the camera Lens should be in the center of the Frame & not the Camera, as most of the Mobile Cameras are seen towards the periphery of the mobile. This is not applicable for Landscapes or scenery shots.

Note:

There are many other points, but just posted few important ones,

Thank you.
