iPhone X: Selfie tips to imitate - Top 5
Selfie tips for the iPhone X: With the TrueDepth sensors, the iPhone X ensures exceptional selfie pictures. We'll show you how to get the most out of your selfies on iPhone X.
Selfie tip 1: Use portrait lights on the iPhone X.
Switch to the front camera and portrait mode on iPhone X. You now have various options to choose from:
- Natural light: the lighting conditions remain unchanged, your face is in focus, the background is out of focus.
- Studio light: An artificial light spot is placed on your face.
- Contour light: The image is divided into light and dark areas, which creates a certain drama.
- Stage lighting: Your face is illuminated much more strongly, the background is darkened.
- Mono stage lighting: Same effect, only in black and white.
Tip 2: Set selfie exposure manually
- The iPhone X does not always set the optimal exposure. If the picture is too light or too dark for you, you can lend a hand before taking the selfie.
- Simply place your finger on the center of the display and slowly swipe up or down. This will manually adjust the exposure.
Tip 3: timer for better selfies
- If you want to concentrate fully on the moment of the selfie and do not wobble when pressing the trigger, you can use the timer.
- Simply tap the timer icon in the top right corner. Here you have the choice between 3 and 10 seconds. If you press, the countdown starts.
Tip 4: fix exposure and focus
- A second way to avoid the automatic is to fix the exposure and focus. To do this, simply hold your finger on the point that should be in the center of the image.
- If you wait a moment, the message "AE lock" appears at the top. Focus and exposure are now optimized to this point, the automatic is deactivated.
Tip 5: beautify selfies directly
- If you would like to edit your selfies later, you can access one of the numerous photo editing apps for the iPhone X. However, this is also much faster and easier.
- Simply open a shot selfie in the photo app and tap on "Edit". The selfie is automatically improved by the iPhone via the magic wand symbol. If necessary, you can also adjust the values for contrast, exposure and saturation yourself.
