Overview

• Set your phone to its highest resolution and clean the lens to maximize detail and clarity before shooting.
• Use tap‑to‑focus to lock focus and control exposure so subjects are properly lit rather than silhouetted by bright backgrounds.
• Prefer the primary camera for night scenes instead of the ultrawide lens, which typically performs worse in low light.
• Leverage built‑in modes such as Night, Portrait, Pro or RAW, stabilize the phone for night mode, and try manual focus with longer shutter times for fireworks.
• Compose with intention using varied angles and golden‑hour light, capture candid moments, and keep edits subtle to retain a natural look, with iPhone users also trying Cinematic mode for smooth focus shifts.
