the sensitivity of the stable shot, so your phone will wait until you're barely moving to take the photo. White Balance Usually, cameraphones are pretty good at detecting the white balance, but when you get into low light they can have trouble. The first thing you can do is give the camera a second do adjust itself -- if you just open up the camera app and snap away, you might get a remarkably orange picture. Give it about five seconds to adjust itself, and you may get a better-looking shot. You also might try pointing your phone at a different light source, which will adjust your phone to a different balance, then popping back. However, if you've given your phone a minute to acclimate and the picture still looks off, try adjusting the white balance yourself. You can usually set it to one of a few different light settings, like "daylight", "fluorescent" or "cloudy". You may find that choosing one manually gives you a better result than the auto setting does. Exposure As the biggest problem with cameraphones is their inability to make up for low light, the exposure is one of the best settings to play with in dimmer situations. Setting the exposure higher lets more light into the lens, which means kicking it up a notch will likely get you a brighter, more vibrant photo. I've found that exposure tweaks often produce the biggest immediate improvement in my phone's photos. Salvage Bad Photos with More Extreme Edits
