The MIUI 11 customization layer is full of secrets and tricks , above all its cameras where there are more and more options that will allow us to take spectacular photos. The tricks that we are going to show you are valid for both Xiaomi and Redmi phones based on MIUI 11.
Regardless of the photographic level we have, the tricks that we are going to show you will be very useful because we will find very advanced options and other peculiarities with which your photos will completely change. We are not going to show you the typical effects or the classic recommendations that we all know, this time I want to teach you those tricks that not everyone knows and now you can master.
Clean the lenses of your mobile properly
Before starting, the first thing we must do is prepare our photographic equipment or what is the same, the lenses of our mobile phone. Many people think that with the finger or a t-shirt the result is enough, but the truth is that doing this we can find ourselves with blurred photos and bad results. We have to clean the lenses with a microfiber cloth and if we find dirt, we can moisten it to get rid of it.
Quick access to the camera
The camera of our mobile is with us at any time and in order to use it as soon as possible, we must prepare ourselves. In MIUI 11 we find an option that allows us to adjust a quick access to the camera to photograph at any time what we are seeing. The process is very simple, first we have to enter the MIUI 11 Settings and then additional Settings, then we tap on the shortcuts and the option Run camera. We are going to be able to choose several methods to open the camera, but one of the simplest and fastest is to double click on the power button .
Change perspective with a twist
Especially when making portraits with our mobile we must take into account the change in perspective, it is not the same to take a horizontal or vertical photograph. To take better advantage of the spaces and obtain the greatest number of details, we will have to turn our mobile phone. Every situation, moment or place has a position and that we will have to decide for ourselves.
Adjust the exposure to the millimeter
When we are going to shoot with our mobile we can find before an image that needs more light and others that need less. To correct this we can use the exposure, a trick for which we have to touch on the screen and more specifically on the object that interests us and then slide with your finger up or down , increasing or decreasing the exposure of our photo.
Raise your hand if you want a photo
The camera of our mobile with MIUI 11 integrates among the options of the front camera a button designed so that our selfies are not complicated. Just by activating it, we will be able to take a selfie raising our hands or anyone who appears with us in the photograph, something very useful when we are a group of people and we have to stretch our arms a lot.
Take photos with the volume keys
Another trick on the MIUI 11 camera is to use the volume buttons as a shutter . We can do this by entering the camera settings, looking for the Actions option of the volume buttons and then tapping on the shutter. Now whenever we are in the camera and we touch the volume up or down we will take a photo.
Focus like you have a professional camera
In our mobile with MIUI 11 we can configure the focus, one of the most important sections of the camera. Going into camera settings and then tapping on “Press and hold the shutter button”, we can choose to focus or the burst, as our own recommendation we opted for focus. Now we only have to take a photograph, but before we will keep our finger on the button to take photos and we will see how it focuses and then photograph.
Take pictures without shaking
When taking photos with our mobile and touching the photography button, we cause a movement with which the photos will be blurred or at least minimally blurred. We can solve this using the timer , an option that we have in the camera within its modes. We will be able to establish in the minimum time that it is 3 seconds to avoid having to wait too long and get the maximum detail.
Enhance all MIUI 11 photos
The MIUI 11 customization layer is based on the preferences of the Asian continent and that means that we do not always like the results. Luckily we also have an option that corrects this easily by simply adapting the contrast and saturation of our photos. To do this we have to enter the camera settings, go down to find the contrast and saturation settings to choose a higher level with the intention of adapting to what we are looking for.
Record and take photos at the same time
Surely you have ever entered a moment of difficult decision because you did not know whether to record a video or take several photos to commemorate a moment. With the intention of solving this, MIUI 11 offers us within recording a button in the upper right so that we take photos at the same time that we record and do not lose any detail.
