[QUOTE="afantiques, post: 434441, member: 25"]I was surprised when I went into the camera menu on my partner's Samsung phone just how much control the user could have if they took the time to study and understand the options available. I imagine most are similar now but probably most are ignored. I do not think any add on application would be any better. A simple understanding of basic photography is needed. Put very simply, the more light available, the shorter the exposure time and the smaller the aperture the lens uses. Small aperture, more depth of focus so objects not at the perfect focus point will still be acceptably sharp. The shorter the exposure time the less any movement of the camera during the exposure will blur the image. Modern digital cameras have amazingly sensitive sensors so you can take some sort of picture in almost any lighting conditions and for most people for most uses the matter is moot. Hence the often truly terrible pictures many posters use. They know no better and no-one has told them. What can be done is amazing. What you need to get fine results is not some application, although I suppose you could download a basic photography course. All you really need is loads of light and a steady camera.[/QUOTE]
