Take Better iPhone 8 Photos

Take Better iPhone 8 Photos

The iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus both sport impressive cameras and many modes so that you can take great looking photos. Here are some things you can do with the iPhone 8 camera and a cool new feature you need to try out when taking photos at night or in low light. 

By default the iPhone 8 and iPhone 8 Plus camera will start with just a basic photo, but you can swipe to the left or right to choose different photo types. Here are the different types of photos and videos you can take and why you might want to use them. 

  • Time Lapse - Take a series of photos over time and then get a video that shows the progress of something happening. 
  • Slow Mo - Take a super slow motion video to highlight action. The iPhone 8 supports way slower slow motion. 
  • Video - Standard video that you can record in up to 4K. 
  • Photo - Standard Photos. 
  • Portrait - iPhone 8 Plus Only - This mode blurs the background and can now do impressive lighting options. 
  • Square - Frame up the perfect Instagram photo when you take it instead of after the shot. 
  • Pano - Take a huge panoramic photo to show off a landscape without the need for a tripod. 

Another cool feature is the new smart flash. When you use the flash it will fill out the background way better than the iPhone 7 and older iPhones can. This lets you get a picture with everything lit correctly, instead of a blown out face or a completely dark background. There's nothing you need to turn on, just spend try it out.
