How to use camera flash smartphone so maximum

1. Note the distance and direction of falling flash light
   The first way is easiest of course by closer the object with the camera, or vice versa. The goal for the object to get adequate lighting and evenly. Do not use the zoom facility, because it will not make the light radiated from the flash closer to the object. The range of flash rays that exist in the smartphone only radiate up to 2 meters distance.

The direction of light, color temperature, and the way the light of the object also has a great impact on the image.
Try to flash the flash is not directed directly to the image object like face. The versatility of adjusting photo composition can be a solution, for example by applying a 1/3 composition technique. Place the face of the object does not have to be really in the middle of the camera screen, somewhat down or sideways, so that flash can be shot at the side of the object.

1. Anticipate the arrival of light and weather
   Many articles suggest that as much as possible not using flash when taking pictures. However, when the condition of the object backs the direction of light (back light), flash should be used to explain the object that will certainly be dark because of the back light factor. The flash of light from the flash can also be used to shoot when bright or the sun is too strong, which will give more detail to the photo object.

2. Optimize external features
   Limited flash capabilities make it necessary to get support from the features available on the smartphone. Other features that can be set like white balance and ISO. It's not all smartphones have these two features that can be arranged in camera settings. But by installing a particular photography app, this feature can also be used. White balance is a function to make the white object appear white by compensating the effect of the color of light around the object, because different light sources have different colors and characteristics as well.

While ISO is the standard for measuring the speed and sensitivity of film to light. The higher the ISO number, the more sensitive to light. If we are shooting an object in a low light location, set the ISO number to be high.

1. The right Smartphone
   Advances in technology itself makes the new smartphone outputs are already arming themselves with a relatively adequate flash feature. It's certainly a shortcut to get the best photos.

Huawei P9 for example, some say it as "Pocket DSLR". That's because the camera is on this smartphone has a menu like in DLSR cameras. One of the advantages of Huawei P9 is the existence of two cameras with Leica lens. There are also dual-LED (dual tone) flash which makes lighting can be more qualified.

Double flash is also owned HTC One M9 Gold with the name Dual Tone LED Flash. While there is UltraPixel technology that is claimed to capture more light reaches 300% compared to the usual 13 Megapixel camera, so as to produce more accurate and natural colors.
