To take sharp photos instead of blurry ones, consider the following:

  • Shutter Speed: Use a fast shutter speed to freeze motion. A general rule is to use a shutter speed that is at least the reciprocal of your lens's focal length to avoid blurry photos from shaking. For example, with a 50mm lens, aim for a shutter speed of at least 1/50th of a second. If the speed is slower, stabilize the camera with a tripod.
  • Digital Zoom: Avoid using digital zoom on smartphones, as it degrades the photo's quality, resulting in a blurry, grainy image. Instead, physically move closer to the subject. If your phone has multiple lenses, use them to change your focal length without losing quality.
  • Manual Focus: Use manual focus for precise control over what part of the image is sharp.
