SMART Phone and Photo Blog

Camera phones are very prevalent.  But while they may have high megapixel counts (=resolution) they still have very small apertures and lower quality optics.  It’s physics.  Small aperture = very little light.  Good/expensive cameras have BIG apertures to let alot of light in.

If you are taking photos outdoors in bright sunlight, even your good Nikon SLR would close the aperture down very small.  Thus outdoors in good light, camera phones can take very good pictures.

If your camera phone has a flash, it’s probably nowhere near as good as a regular camera’s.

So indoors your camera phone is not very likely to take good photos.  No, your baby doesn’t have jaundice, that yellow is from the low light you took that i-phone photo in.

How to get your photos out?

1) you can send them to your email.  Most phones support MMS (multimedia messasing service) where photos can be sent to other phones or email addresses

2) you can connect to your computer with a data cable, or

3) if you have a removable memory card in your phone you can just take that out and insert it directly into a printer such as our Sony kiosk here in the store.
