When you take a picture of the landscape and food, you can't decide the photo for some reason ... why not use a camera grid (auxiliary line) at the time of shooting?Just taking a picture of horizontal and vertical, the impression of the photo changes unexpectedly.The grid also helps to take high quality photos that are particular about the composition.
This article introduces how to use grids and how to display grids in smartphone camera apps.
You can easily take horizontal photos! What is the camera grid?
The "grid (grid line)" of the camera is the auxiliary line drawn to the preview screen when using a digital camera or smartphone camera.It is common to be drawn vertically and horizontally, and the screen is divided into a lattice -shaped (= grid).

By using the grid, you can take a horizontal photo and make it easier to decide the composition.The grid is displayed only on the preview screen or viewfinder, and the line is not shown in the photos taken.
"The photos I took are slightly inclined and uncomfortable ..." If you often think so, use the grid.By displaying the grid, the horizontal and vertical is easier to understand.
In particular, the following photos should be worrisome unless they are neatly horizontal (left image).Therefore, if you take a bench line on the grid (center), you can take a horizontal photo (right).
Most of the recent digital cameras and smartphones have a built -in electronic level, so it is possible to display grids in smartphone standard camera apps.
If you want to match the horizontal and vertical more strictly, use a high -performance level app or an external level.
How to use grid is not only horizontal and vertical.
For example, when you want to place the subject in the middle of the photo.You can place the subject at the center of the screen by simply adjusting the subject to the center of the split screen.It depends on the subject and the shooting scene, but it is also an auxiliary line when shooting from directly above.
If you are conscious of the "composition" at the time of shooting, you can take high quality photos.If you look back at the camera roll, if you just feel a composition with the subject in the center of the screen (Hinomaru composition), make a variety of photos with the composition in mind.
There are various types of photos composition, but the most basic and versatile is the "three -split method (three -split composition)".
The three -part composition is a stable screen by dividing the screen into three parts and placing the main subject on the intersection or line.By using a grid, you can easily practice this three -division composition.
The three -division composition can be used in vertical photos, horizontal photos, or closer.The grid is just a guide, so you don't have to strictly match the line or intersection.While using the grid as a guide, decide the position of the subject with the salt plum that you like.
The composition includes "two division", "triangle", "diagonal", and "tunnel", and there are many types.First, use the basic three -part composition as a thing and try every composition.
How to put the grid line of the camera app
Next, I will introduce how to display the grid in the smartphone camera application.
In the case of a digital camera, the display method varies depending on the manufacturer and model, so please check the instructions.Depending on the model, you may be able to display grid more finely than 9 divisions.
The method of displaying the grid line with the iPhone / iPad camera application is very easy ( * image is iPad).
Start the "Settings" app and tap the "Camera" item.And if you turn on "Grid", the grid will be displayed when you start the camera app.
Android has a different operation method for each model, but here are the basic methods.
First, open the camera app and tap the setting icon (gear mark or spanner mark).The setting icon is often at the top of the screen.Then, turn on "Grid (camera grid, grid line, etc.)" from the setting screen to display the grid.
The use of the grid introduced this time is useful for smartphone camera apps and digital cameras.You can practice it immediately, so please try it.
