#COOL THINGS FOR IPHONE 12 PLUS#
(The 6 Plus and 6s Plus have optical image stabilization to help mitigate this.) Christopher Phin To compensate for the low light it will often take longer exposures, and so if you’re not holding your iPhone completely still the scene will get a bit smeared. (See the last section for more on tripods.) Reduce camera shakeĪlthough things have improved dramatically, the iPhone can still struggle in low light, such as at dusk or indoors. You might be able to prop your iPhone up against something for these, but consider a tripod for more control and better results if the shot is important. There’s a self-timer on the iPhone as well, either a two-second one-more on this below-and a 10-second one which is great for those press-the-shutter-run-back-into-shot-then-hold-a-grimace-way-past-the-point-you-think-it-should-have-triggered shots. You can use the physical volume buttons on the side of your iPhone to take the shot rather than the big onscreen button-handy if you’re holding the phone at an awkward angle-but this also extends to headphones (including the bundled ones) that have inline volume controls on the cable. Tap anywhere on the image to unlock them again. To do this, tap and hold on the screen you’ll see a series of contracting rectangles around your finger which is your cue that the exposure and focus are now locked even if you move the camera a little or to a completely different part of the scene.
Usually the iPhone will focus and expose a shot fresh each time, since that is indeed what you usually want, but there are times, usually for creative reasons, that you want to lock the focus and exposure.
You can do this on an iPhone too, but it’s much less technical tap on your subject, then drag the little brightness (sunburst) symbol next to the focus square up to make the picture brighter, or down to make it darker. Oh, and if you want to connect wired headphones (and make use of Apple Music’s hi-res tier), you’ll need a Lightning to 3.5mm headphone jack adapter (£9), because Apple might love music but it hates headphone ports.Traditional (and now of course digital) photography has a concept called exposure compensation, the idea that you let the camera decide how best to expose the scene, but then you give it a nudge-expressed usually in thirds of a “stop”-brighter or darker, to better reflect the shot you want to take.

So treat yourself to AirPods Pro (£249) or, if you prefer cans, a pair of Sony WH-1000XM4 (£350).
#COOL THINGS FOR IPHONE 12 PORTABLE#
The depicted Moft snap-on stand/wallet (£29.99) is a perfect portable option, and Belkin’s MagSafe car vent mount (£34.95) is handy when you’re driving.įinally, Apple doesn’t include headphones in the box these days, which is fine because they were a bit rubbish anyway. A case (from £29) is a must, and you should get a MagSafe charger (from £39) to plonk your device on overnight.įancy a stand, to prop your iPhone up anywhere? IKEA’s ludicrously cheap Bergenes (£2.25) is great for any desk. But your iPhone experience will be all the better if you splash out on some accessories. Your bank account already feels like it’s been mugged buying a new phone.
