Get the Best Out of Your Phone Camera
By: Gagan Gupta   |   Oct 14, 2006

Set the White Balance
The auto white balance mode on a digicam is usually optimized to automatically adopt to most light settings, but auto white balance in phone cams is not really as intelligent. If your phone cam has a white balance option, make the most of it.

Using a white balance preset helps remove certain color overlays that may be distorting the original colors of an image. For example using ‘fluorescent light’ negates the excessive green color that’s normally found in a room lit by fluorescent tubes, just as the ‘tungsten light’ preset will cancel out excessive yellow in environments with yellow lighting.

You can even experiment with white balance settings for some unique results. Like using the ‘cloudy’ white balance preset will add a warm yellow feel to any outdoor shot.

The most important thing is that u need to experience ur cellphone's camera. Fiddle with it endlessly, take random shots and in the end u are sure to hit on the right combination for a given situation. Once u become one with the fone cam all the settings like exposure vals, WB, use of macro will become a breeze.

PS: I use a K750i camera fone. Its an awesome buy. No wonder its a bestseller till date. I always will root for my K750i!
