Images - How do I improve the picture quality from my phones camera?

Some general tips to help take better pictures are,

  1. The steadier your phone is when taking the picture the better the shot is likely to be, so where possible, rest yourself or the camera on or against something that won’t move.
  2. Take care not to move the phone too soon after you believe the picture has been taken, as there can be a delay between when you press the button and when the shot is taken.
  3. If your phone doesn’t have a built-in flash or light, add additional lighting where you can or outside in natural daylight where appropriate.

Please Note: The numbers of colours a phones screen can display can vary between 16 thousand to 16 million. So you won't see how good or bad your pictures are until you have transferred them to a PC.
