OnePlus 3: The best tips & tricks for perfect photos

• You can take much better pictures with the camera of your OnePlus 3 and OnePlus 3T by taking photos with manual settings. To do this, press the three bars at the top left of the camera app and then select "Manual". The settings in manual mode may sound quite complicated, but basically you only have to set the exposure time, the aperture and the ISO value. The advantage is that you have every detail of your photo in your own hands.
• The settings for manual photography are quickly summarized: The exposure time indicates how long the image sensor receives light. The shorter the exposure time, the darker the photo. However, a picture with a fast shutter speed is not so blurry. The aperture controls, among other things, how much light comes into the camera. Especially in strong light, you should open the cover completely. When doing this, you should note that the aperture is the widest open at the smallest f-number. The ISO value - i.e. the sensitivity of the image sensor - should be as low as possible. However, if it gets darker, you must increase the ISO value.
• When taking photos at night, it is advisable to use a smartphone tripod. This allows you to increase the shutter speed and avoid blurred images. You should keep the ISO value as low as possible, otherwise the camera of the OnePlus 3 (T) will not take so good pictures at night.
• If you want to take pictures of people, you should never do it from the beginning. Portraits look much better when the person pictured is standing slightly sideways. Try to play with light and shadow as some shadow gives the face more depth.
