Key ideas in Backyard Nature Photography on Android
- Tapping the subject tells the Android camera which part of the frame is most important
- The sun often tricks Android sensors into over-brightening the scene
- The camera adjusts both sharpness and brightness based on where you tap
- Sliding the sun icon or slider down manually darkens the image to preserve color
- A yellow or white circle usually appears to confirm the lock
- Manual adjustment is faster than moving to a different spot
- Applying focus and exposure locks to a specific subject
- Using the manual brightness slider to save color detail
- Tapping the on-screen shutter button often causes the phone to tilt or vibrate
- Fingerprint oils and pocket lint build up on the external glass daily
- The volume button allows for a firmer, two-handed grip on the Android device
- A quick wipe with a soft cloth or shirt hem clears the 'haze'
- Identifying the cause of hazy or blurry images
- Holding the button takes a rapid sequence of photos
- Using physical buttons to reduce camera shake
