Tips for taking photos with your camera phone

To prevent blurry pictures, steady your camera phone on a stable surface before you click.

  • Stabilize: If you take steps to stabilize your phone, you can get clearer shots. Try placing your camera on a secure object, such as a table or a stack of books—even a fence post.
  • Learn about pixels. A top-quality 4" x 6" print only needs about 2 megapixels—well within the range for most camera phones. Some camera phones come equipped with over 10 megapixels of photo-taking power. Learn more about how megapixels affect photo and print size.
  • Edit before you print: There are plenty of free and low-cost applications that allow you to improve your smartphone photos. For example, Photogene can help you fix underexposed pictures on your iPhone.
