The iPhone and iPad have many functions, but are they used well?The processes that have been working so far may be easier with a small operation.In this series, we will introduce the convenient tricks (tips) of such iOS devices, so please use it.This time, let's explain the convenient tricks when taking pictures with iOS.[Image] The photos are beautiful with a little trick!An iOS "Camera" app app shutter is an iPhone "Camera" app that allows you to easily take beautiful pictures.Recently, it recognizes pets such as dogs and cats as well as the face of the person, so it failed because it did not fit well!That was almost gone.Still, depending on the composition and angle, you may think, "If you focus on here ..." or "If you make it a little brighter ..."Here are some minimal shooting operations that are useful in such a case.Have you ever seen a yellow frame displayed on the face when you wanted to take a person using the iPhone's "Camera" app?This is a frame where the iPhone recognizes the face of a person in the frame and indicates that it is a face.In addition to the person, it is surrounded by a yellow frame as well as turning a camera to a dog or cat.At this time, the iPhone focuses on the location of the frame (autofocus), adjusting (automatically exposed) so that the part is the most beautifully visible.So you can take beautiful pictures just by pressing the shutter.However, the function of this autofocus & automatic exposure is not perfect.If there are some people in the frame to shoot, the person you think may not be focused.If you try to take a pet on your knees, you may be focused on the person.There are no people or pets in landscapes and still photos, so there are cases where the focus or exposure does not fit in the place you want.What you want to use in such a case is the function called "Touch Focus".When you point the camera, touch the screen in the frame with your finger.A square frame showing the focus range appears in the touched location.It focuses and exposed to that place.If the camera doesn't fit well even after turning the camera, touch the screen in this way before pressing the shutter.You should be able to take a picture as expected.If there are bright and dark parts in the shooting target, try tap where you want to match the exposure.There is also a suitable operation method when you want to make the whole light or darker on purpose.When the screen taps, a solar mark appears next to the square frame indicating the focus range. At that time, touch the screen with your finger and slide it up and down.You can change the brightness by editing after shooting, but if you want to make an exposure compensation at the time of shooting, use this method.Stay the screen with your finger (long touch) and the display "AE/AF lock] appears at the top.The exposure and focus are fixed to the touched part, so even if the angle is changed, the brightness and focus will not change.This is also a useful function, so let's remember it.
