5 tips to improve photos on your Xiaomi

Most of us underestimate the capabilities of our cell phone camera, but in fact, if you know how to use your camera, it will be able to capture amazing photographs. Just a few settings, angle and correct lighting.

In this post, we are going to see some useful tips that help to improve the photography of your Xiaomi smartphone.

1. Use the maximum megapixel capacity

Xiaomi smartphones are popular for offering very high resolution cameras. Good examples are the Xiaomi Mi Mix Fold, Xiaomi Mi 10S and the Xiaomi Redmi K40 Pro Plus with 108 MP, the Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra with 50 MP and the Xiaomi POCO X3 Pro with 48 MP.

But even if your smartphone doesn't have that many megapixels, it's important that you configure your camera to use its maximum power, which will be very beneficial for the quality of the photos, especially in capturing details. In normal photo mode, go to Settings and tap on the megapixel icon.

Another way is to open Pro Mode and tap the MP icon in the top lane. Naturally, this would require you to know the other camera settings like White Balance and ISO among others.

2. Avoid Digital Zoom

Digital zoom almost always produces poor results as it reduces the image resolution. Avoid using it to maintain the quality of your photos. However, if your device has optical zoom, such as the Xiaomi Mi 10 Zoom Edition, Xiaomi Mi Note 11 and Xiaomi Mi 11 Ultra, there is no problem using the zoom, as with this technology, the quality of the photos is not affected. If you only have digital zoom, then instead of using it, just zoom in to maintain image quality.

3. Activate the AI camera

If you don't like or don't know how to adjust exposure and brightness levels manually for each type of photography, let artificial intelligence do it for you. To do this, just tap the AI button at the top.

4. Take advantage of natural light whenever possible

Few smartphones can produce photos indoors and in dark environments with high quality, that's because the devices' sensors are still not as capable as a digital camera. But you can easily get around this problem with daylight.

Taking pictures outdoors, in the right lighting conditions, will help you get the best possible results with the camera on your Xiaomi phone. Lighting determines not only the brightness and darkness, but also the tone and atmosphere of the photo. Therefore, prioritize daylight when taking your photos.

5. Use o HDR

The acronym HDR stands for High Dynamic Range, which in free translation stands for High Dynamic Range. This technology is increasingly present in smartphones, including Xiaomi. With it, your photograph has more detail in the dark and light areas, this to provide a better balanced exposure.

In other words, HDR will prevent the sky from being too bright or the ground from being too dark, and it really suits landscape photography. If there's a lot of contrast between the lighter and darker parts of the scene, the camera's HDR is capable of solving that.
