The cameras on the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are phenomenal, but many techniques needed to take professional-looking photos are beyond the skills of most iPhoneographers. Apple has posted a new web page that uses 16 short and to-the-point videos to give iPhone shooters a quick tutorial in how to master some common pro techniques. The “How to shoot on iPhone 7” page and videos can be viewed on iPhone — many of the videos are in portrait orientation — and they show just how easy it can be to achieve professional results.
The videos cover the gamut of iPhone 7 and 7 Plus techniques:
- How to shoot a great portrait (highlighting iPhone 7 Plus portrait mode)
- How to shoot a close-up
- How to shoot a vertical Pano
- How to shoot without a flash
- How to shoot action
- How to shoot a selfie with the timer
- How to capture a unique angle
- How to shoot stills while filming
- How to shoot with street light
- How to shoot a bold and simple image
- How to shoot during golden hour
- How to shoot a one-handed selfie
- How to edit a selfie
- How to shoot a sunset silhouette
- How to shoot a group portrait
- How to shoot a backlit subject
Apple really seems to understand how to get a point across. Rather than belabor the point, they show — literally in a matter of seconds — how to do use a new technique. A similar series on videography with the iPhone 7 would be a winner!
