Samsung One UI 4.1 Night Photography Tips
Gear up smartly
Since the camera needs time to pick up a lot of light and then capture its target, stability is very important. So, when you aim to take perfect night shots, you should make sure that your camera remains stable, either by using a tripod or by leaning your phone on a fixed object.
To avoid moving the camera while tapping the shutter button, I suggest using the remote shutter or relying on the camera timer to capture photos with a delay. A flashlight and a power bank are also essential in your little one’s night adventure.
Explore some epic shots with Night Mode
With night coming, you can try to capture amazing portraits in a bright sky, streaks of light from vehicles moving around, or give a shot at night pictures – all of which are a new addition to your epic photography.
The Night Mode on your Samsung Galaxy is enhanced by the Brighter Night sensor that lets you take clear and vivid pictures in any dark environment with more speed, and less noise, while controlling the exposure time.
