A smartphone that evolves year by year.Above all, the evolution of the camera function is tremendous, and it has become possible to take impressive photos that are comparable to SLR cameras.However, no matter what kind of new feature is installed, it doesn't make sense if you can't use it.
Every year, the iPhone is a hot topic for new works.Therefore, we will introduce a shooting technique that anyone can easily practice using the latest model "iPhone 13 Pro" announced in 2021.Motota Masuda, a professional photographer, taught me how to use the basic smartphone shooting and how to use the latest camera function of the iPhone.
IPhone keeps strong popularity.It is no exaggeration to say that the camera function is the most notable point every time a new model is announced.According to Motota, the camera function of the iPhone is at the top level in the current smartphone market.
"The camera function mounted on the smartphone is evolving steadily, but I think the iPhone is constantly running at the top. Other smartphones (software) and terminals (software) that move each function.Hard) is made by another manufacturer, whereas the iPhone is all developed in the company = Apple, which is the software and terminals, so it is easy to adjust the tuning between soft and hardware.Therefore, I think that the evolution of the camera function will be faster than other companies. "(Motota Masuda, hereinafter the same).
In addition to the high performance, it can express "neutral color" is a major feature of the iPhone camera function.
"Some of the smartphones are performed by default processing such as saturation adjustments. Such models can easily take flashy photos that become" painting ", but it is difficult to make delicate adjustments in color later.In that respect ... In that regard, the iPhone is a photo of the color reflected in the lens as it is, that is, the strength is that it is easy to edit into your favorite photos later in order to express a neutral color. "
Of the latest Apple's "iPhone 13" series announced in September 2021, "iPhone 13 Pro Max" and "iPhone 13 Pro" are high -performance cameras such as macro photography and telephoto lenses.It was installed.In addition, the relatively affordable "iPhone 13" and "iPhone 13 Mini" have new functions that can adjust the color of "photograph style" as the upper model.
If you can master the camera function of the iPhone that boasts these top -level performance, daily photography will be high and fun!Let's master how to use the new features of the iPhone13 series by referring to Motota's lecture.
Before you know the new features of the iPhone 13 series, first learn about the basic techniques when shooting on the iPhone.
"Unlike a single -lens reflex camera that can blur other than the subject, the smartphone is basically clearly reflected in every corner of the photo, so it is important to pay attention to all the things reflected in the lens," said Motota.He told me two compositions of the royal road saying, "If you remember this!"
・ The composition you want to remember ① "Hinomaru composition"
A composition in which the subject is placed in the center of the screen (red round mark) like the Hinomaru.
・ The composition you want to remember ② "3 division composition"
A composition in which the screen is divided into three parts vertically and horizontally and the subject is placed in a place where the line intersects (red round mark).
By placing the subject according to any of the composition, you can take a balanced photo.In addition, the "grid" function mounted on the iPhone is useful at that time.By turning on this function, the two vertical and horizontal lines in the previous image are displayed.Let's create a composition as a guide with the displayed line.
[How to set the grid function] Turn on "Settings" → "Camera" → "Grid"
Once the composition is decided, focus on the subject and adjust the brightness.It is often important to adjust the lens, so it is often not as bright as you want, so it is important to adjust it before shooting.
[How to match focus] Tap the subject → If a yellow frame is displayed in the target position, OK
[How to adjust the brightness ①] Touch the solar mark displayed when you focus on the focus → slide up and down and adjust
[How to adjust the brightness ②] Tap the triangle at the top of the screen → Select the fifth "exposure" from the left → Slide to the left and right.
One of the features of the iPhone camera is that you can make your favorite photos in editing.However, I want to avoid being lost because of the processing of the subject.What I want to remember is "adjust in order from the setting on the left side".
Tap "Edit" at the bottom right of the photo to display "Automatic", "Exposure", and "Brigments"."Automatic" is a function that the iPhone is automatically edited, so it is recommended for those who cannot do it well.If you want to fine -tune yourself to your liking, change the settings from the next "exposure" to the numbers that are nice.By adjusting in order from the settings on the left side, the balance between the color and brightness of the subject is less likely to be lost.
Then, from the next page, we will explain how to use the camera function of the iPhone 13 series and the tips for taking a slightly different photo.
