Awesome Tips to Take Better Photos with iPhone 7 & 7 Plus

Last week, Apple held its Apple Events and introduced its new products – iPhone 7, iPhone 7 Plus, and Apple Watch 2. One of the striking features of iPhone 7 Plus is its dual-lens camera, one is wide angle and the other is a telephoto lens and both are 12 MP. What’s more, the front camera is improved to 7 MP with wide color capture. Those are good news for us. However, having a good camera on your phone doesn’t ensure that the photos you take will look better than others’, you also need some tips on how to take better photos on iPhone 7/7 Plus. Below is what you need to know.

Methods to Capture Better iPhone Photos

1. Use Grid Feature

Grid utilizes The Rules of Thirds, a visual arts rule, to help people take better photos. The whole scene is divided into nine parts by two equally spaced horizontal lines and two equally spaced vertical lines. And it is said that putting the things you want to focus on one of the four intersections, so the picture will look more compact than that taken without this rule. For example, if you want to capture a cat sleeping on the ground, you’d better place the cat around one of the intersections.

You can try this way to take better photos with iPhone 7 & 7 Plus. To enable Grid, just go to “Settings” on your iPhone, find “Photos & Camera” and then turn on “Grid”.

2. Choose the Right Focus

Different focus has different effect. Let’s see the pictures below first.

So before you shoot, think about what you are going to capture, tap it on your phone screen and then click the shutter button. Also, you can adjust the brightness when the focus frame shows up.
