Well, here we have got you covered with some tips & tricks. Read the article to find out details of how to use these different camera modes right way.

 

Ultra Wide Angle Mode

As the first things first, why we need an ultra-wide angle lens?

In comparison to the human eye, the regular camera lens captures a lesser area. It’s the ultra-wide angle lens with which covers the area that’s approx to eye view.

This mode works best when you need to capture an extended eccentric beauty in one shot. Through this mode, one gets nearly 108⁰ field of view after the edge correction from 120⁰ total captured picture.

Usually, pictures clicked through this mode are cool but works best for taking pictures of skyscrapers, cliffs, constructions & other alike composition.                    

Well, if your picture has a sea, grassland, desert or a countryside setting, make sure your subject has contrasting bold colours or else the results will look dreary. It is so because the monotonous composition in broad shots fails to wow. The same applies to try portraits in a street. If your subject is a human, then the presence of the crowd will give chaotic results.

But then, there is vivo V17 which offers the portrait mode in wide-angle as well & here’s how you can get it.

  • Go to the camera
  • Click on the portrait feature.
  • Tap on ‘white button’ present at right corner of the screen.
  • Tap on the ‘ultra wide angle’ option.

Some Do’s & Don’ts for wide angle camera mode in your vivo smartphone:


Do's

Don'ts

Try to incorporate frames in your shots by using elements nearby such as trees, doors, windows, rocks, stalls, etc.

Don’t use wide angle mode too close to your face for portrait shots as it creates distortions like big faceas here in picture.

To take close up shots of the subject instead of capturing broad horizontal shots try to capture full view vertically.

Don’t just stick to regular landscape view. Also, try out vertical shots to get some interesting out of the box pictures.

 

Bokeh Mode

Before you step ahead, it’s important to know the common terms i.e. bokeh & portrait.

The effect that you achieve using the portrait mode is called bokeh. In this mode, the background is kept out of focus with a blurry effect. However, if talked about vivo smartphones, the portrait mode is for taking blur background pictures of a human while the bokeh mode works for everything else giving the same effect. Also, the portrait mode offers you some interesting pre-set blurred background lightning effects for taking selfies.

 

How to use bokeh mode best way-

The best part of clicking a picture in the bokeh effect is that you are flexible to shoot in almost every situation. It helps you to cancel out the background & shifts focus to the subject only. But adjusting blur is the key to get cool pictures shot like a pro. In the vivo v17, you can reduce or increase the amount of bokeh effect following these steps:

  • Go to the camera.
  • Tap on the portrait feature.
  • Click on the ‘white button’ present at right corner of the screen.
  • Tap on the ‘bokeh’ mode.
  • Tap on the subject to bring focus on it & increase or reduce the aperture setting by moving the aperture icon present next to focus square.

 


Well, if you are clicking portrait shots for a person, then you should not miss the option of portrait light effects available as filters in the mode. To get those effects, follow these below mentioned steps:

  • Go to the camera.
  • Open the portrait mode.
  • Tap on ‘white button’ present at the right corner of the screen.
  • Tap on the ‘bokeh’ option
  • Tap on the logo of filter (with 3 circles) available at the top.
  • Now use the light filter you wish to incorporate.
 





The key point to remember for light filter is that they can be applied only when a face is detected.
 

Some do’s & don’ts of using bokeh camera mode are:

If you are trying portraits for street photography, make sure to capture them with the highest aperture setting to get maximum blur & impressive shot.

The portrait lens present in smartphones has a fixed focal length, so make sure that you don’t get too close to the subject than suggested distance. Or else it will result in an ordinary picture.

 

Super Macro

For all photographers, capturing the small world larger-than-life size is a favourite thing these days. So, thanks to smartphones because of which macro photography is now accessible to everyone. Well, it is important to clear your head that with a macro lens, you can magnify even the tiniest details to a larger size like pollen of flowers, knit of fabric, scratches on a surface, etc. But before shooting anything, you must understand your subject & distinguish when an optical zoom or the macro mode will work best.

How to use super macro mode the best way-

Even though smartphones offer macro lens they have certain limitations. So, here are a few do’s & don’ts of using the vivo super mode camera:

Don'ts

Wait for your subject to be still or use selfie stick/tripod for stability.

Don’t go near to the subject more than 4cms or else the subject will turn blurry.

In the cases of shooting an insect or animal prefer using optical zoom instead of getting too close to the subject.

For a moving object, make sure to set the focus manually every time before taking the shot or else the background wont get bokeh effect.
