Today, we had a double-digit temperature, and it was warm enough for us to hike around our neighbourhood park. I took with us our new Sony A6700 camera and snapped a few photos. The sun was shy, hiding behind clouds, but there were a few moments when the blue sky made an appearance.
Good morning! I woke up before the sun rise and was staring at my bedroom window when I suddenly became curious to how my phone’s camera will perform under these super low light condition.
I downloaded the Manual Camera app from the App Store, and adjusted the ISO, focus, white balance, and shutter speed, took the shot of my bedroom window. I wanted a balance of properly exposed picture but not too grainy. I then shot a picture with the standard camera app which is in full auto.
The auto version seemed over processed while the manual version looked more realistic in comparison to the real lighting condition at the time (prior to sunrise). The color of the sky in the manual version is also more true to reality. If you have a chance, play with the Manual app.
This is also the first post that I produced entirely on my iPhone while still in bed. Amazing what you can do with your smartphone these days!
