[vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text align=”left” text_size=”32.4px”]Let’s keep it simple. Your ability to create professional content with a smartphone will rely heavily on your understanding of how cameras work. Luckily for you, they all pretty much work the exact same way.

Camera lenses are made from special optics that shape & focus light. Camera lenses house small blades designed to control the amount of light passing through the lens.

A digital sensor converts light into data pixel by pixel. In the case of film, light triggers a chemical reaction that results in an image.

Lastly, a camera’s shutter opens and closes, it controls the duration of time the sensor/film is exposed. [/vc_column]

Smaller optic components means less room for light…

Depending on your lighting environment, this limitation can make it difficult for your smartphone camera to capture great exposure.

We’ll review these ideas more in-depth in a moment… For now, just know, more light generally makes for more options & better quality content.

As you change any of the three exposure settings on a traditional camera — aperture, shutter speed, or ISO — one or both of the others will most likely have to be adjusted in order to maintain your level of exposure. If you want a faster shutter speed, you’ll need to make up for that lost light. In order to compensate you’ll need a larger aperture or a higher ISO setting.

Most smartphone cameras have a fixed aperture to allow the maximum amount of light through the lens. This means compensating exposure to make up for a lack of light usually results in a less sharp image — slower shutter speed— or a noisy image —high ISO.

Familiarizing yourself with your smartphone camera’s pros & cons is the first step in creating high-quality smartphone content quickly and efficiently… Some of these bullets might not make total sense to you right now but trust me – as time goes on, the gap will begin to close in even more between content created with high-end camera equipment & smartphone cameras. It will have everything to do with how the technology in these phones is put to use. [/vc_column]
