iPhone – Taking snaps of moving scenes
Taking snaps of moving scenes
Here is a little trick to help you capture a moving scene like a professional. When it
comes to taking still photos we have seen that iPhone totally rocks, now its time to find a
way to defeat the drawback of moving scenes.
The good thing about the way iPhone works is that you just have to tap to get what you
want. In that little ‘tap’ action you do, there are several things you will be doing. First
you move your finger towards the screen to touch and then you remove it. iPhone
performs different actions at different parts of that little ‘tap’ action you do. It selects the
button when you touch the screen, but the functionality of the button is triggered only
when you release the button from the screen.
How does this information help us? Here’s how: When you aim your camera at a moving
scene, say, a car on a highway or a flock of birds, first do the first half of the tap. Now
you have selected the button and iPhone knows you are about to snap. Now when you are
all ready to take the picture, just release your finger and let the camera do its thing.
When you do this you will be saving some precious seconds. This way the time
difference between your snap time and the actual time when the photo was taken will be
the shutter lag. If you want to know more about this, we have a ton of articles on the
iPhone camera. Go around and have a look at them.
