iPhone SE is Apple’s cheapest phone ever. It ditched the multi-camera array of its pricier sibling (iPhone 11 Pro) to achieve the lower price tag. So, iPhone SE naturally limits the shooting options for you. There is no ultrawide lens to capture everything in front. You can neither zoom in on specific details using the telephoto lens.

iPhone app development companies are also coming up with various editing apps for better camera functions.  

iPhone SE Camera Tips

iPhone SE does not have the triple camera setup, but its single camera can still take some worthy shots. All you need is “know your phone camera.” Here are some useful tips-

Use the Grids

We all are familiar with the “rule of thirds” principle. Just go to Settings > Phone & Settings and turn on the grid lines. It will give you a 3x3 overlay while capturing images and a more visually appealing composition. Gridlines are a great way to avoid becoming a victim of dreaded photo wonkiness.

Utilize Daylight

Your iPhone SE does not support Night Mode or Deep Fusion processing as in iPhone 11 Pro. So, it does not take awesome shots in low light.

If you are planning to have a photoshoot, then plan it during daylight. Avoid the mid-noons when the sun creates harsh light and deep shadows. Also, avoid the night time as your phone camera will struggle even more. Late afternoons when the sun begins to set, is the best time to take the photos. It provides you some bold landscapes with satisfying contrast.  

Add-on Accessories

You can add-on some accessories compatible with your iPhone SE. It will enhance your iPhone’s functionality.

Tripods

A good tripod will provide stability to your images and videos. It avoids you from taking blurred and shaky images. It is a must for any photographer.

Flash

LuMee Selfie Light case has in-built LED lights creating a luminous frame around your iPhone SE. It helps you take brighter and more vibrant selfies. 

Lens Clips

Lens clips let you add creativity to the snaps. A 3-in-1 kit from Olixer is a worthy choice. You can clip on fish-eye, macro, and wide-angle lenses to improve your photography with minimal effort. It provides you with some breath-taking shots.

Use Editing Apps

If you want your images to look extra-special, then consider using editing apps. Now, you don’t need to transfer pictures to your desktop or PC for advanced editing. Adobe Lightroom Mobile gives better exposure and color settings to your snaps just as its desktop version.

Pixlr, Photoshop Mix, PicsArt, Prisma, etc. apps will help you apply various special features to your photos. Google’s Snapseed is a super-cool app with a simple interface. It lets you choose from a host of artistic effects and is free of cost.  

Capture Photos Using Burst Mode

Your iPhone SE can take ten photos per second using the burst mode. Just drag the shutter button to the left (for portrait) or down (for landscape). Hold it on, and it will take hundreds of images in super-quick succession.

It’s a great tool for fast-paced subjects as it captures split-second action. Later, you can view the stack in your gallery and select the desired shot. Isn’t it super-cool?
