HOW TO USE PRO MODE IN MOBILE CAMERA TO CLICK BETTER PHOTOS ?

MOBILE PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS BY SUBHRADEEP KUNDU

 Pro mode, also known as manual mode, on a mobile camera allows you to have more control over the camera settings like ISO, shutter speed, white balance, and focus. Different smartphones may have slightly different interfaces, but I'll provide you with a general guide on how to use Pro mode on a mobile camera:

1. Open the Camera App : Launch your camera app on your mobile device.

2. Switch to Pro Mode : In most camera apps, you can usually access Pro mode by swiping or tapping on the mode selection icon or by looking for a "Pro" or "Manual" mode in the camera app's settings.

3. Adjust ISO : ISO controls the sensitivity of the camera sensor to light. A lower ISO (e.g., 100) is ideal for well-lit scenes, while a higher ISO (e.g., 800 or more) is suitable for low-light situations.

4. Shutter Speed : This setting controls the amount of time the camera sensor is exposed to light. A longer shutter speed (e.g., 1/30, 1/15, or longer) allows more light in and is good for capturing motion blur or low-light scenes. A shorter shutter speed (e.g., 1/500, 1/1000, or faster) is suitable for capturing fast-moving subjects or well-lit scenes.

5. White Balance : White balance settings allow you to adjust the color temperature of the photo. You can set it to match the lighting conditions, like daylight, cloudy, fluorescent, or tungsten, or manually adjust it for a custom look.

6. Focus : Some Pro modes allow manual control over the focus. You can tap on the area you want to focus on or use a manual slider to adjust the focus point. This is especially useful for achieving selective focus or controlling depth of field.

7. Exposure Compensation : You may also have the option to adjust exposure compensation, which lets you make your image darker or brighter.

8. Gridlines and Histogram : Some Pro modes provide gridlines to help you compose your shot and a histogram to monitor the exposure.

9. Capture the Photo : After adjusting these settings, tap the shutter button to take the photo.

10. Review and Edit : After capturing the photo, review it to see if it meets your expectations. You can also use photo editing apps to make further adjustments.

Remember that Pro mode requires some knowledge of photography principles, and it may take some practice to get the hang of it. Experiment with different settings and practice to achieve the desired results.

The specific features and terminology might vary depending on your phone's manufacturer and model, so you may want to refer to your device's user manual for detailed instructions on using Pro mode.
