Show off your photos on Christmas Eve with GCam

Indoor photos

You must take this fact into account, since it has a decisive influence on the images that you are going to take. The safest thing is that the luminosity becomes excessive , although it all depends on the home and the number of lamps lit.

If you do not regulate the lighting in some way it is quite likely that most of the photos look overexposed , but calm. There are several ways to avoid excess light, although you can also try to turn off lights progressively until you find the key.

It is a possibility that if the luminescence is very high, shadows will be created that can create unwanted effects in the capture. One way to compensate for this is to use the flash to balance the image somewhat.

With food involved, your camera’s viewfinder may be imperceptibly dirty to the human eye. Luckily, the GCam includes a setting for the app to warn you if it’s dirty. It’s a simple setup, but it will definitely help you achieve better results. To do this, you just have to access the settings and look for the ‘General’ section. When you have it located, click on ‘Advanced options’ and you will first find ‘Dirty lens warning’.

To give a pinch of originality and fun to the captures, you can include virtual objects or characters through an option called Playground , which you will find in the ‘More’ menu on the bottom bar. Thanks to her, Santa Claus will be able to make an appearance at your party.

Thousands of images

What if your uncle, what if your aunt, grandfather, grandmother, now all together … The number of photographs taken on Christmas Eve is overwhelming. For this reason, it is highly recommended to activate the GCam storage saving mode. In this way, the weight of the catches will be less and they will take up less space. Your memory will thank you.

Get inside and activate it. This will modify various settings so that the number of possible photos to be taken increases considerably.

To obtain unique images you can opt for a spherical photo . This is similar to what we know as Panoramic Mode, but obviously shaped like a sphere. It is true that its operation is not entirely optimal, but it will give you the pleasure of having an image like never before with your family.
