Here’s How You Can Capture Amazing Pictures With Apple’s Cheapest iPhone

The iPhone SE is the cheapest phone that Apple has made and sells. It is quite obvious that it means that the high-end camera setup that is available in the latest iPhone 14 pro would be absent in the SE model. However, you can still capture breathtaking photos from the iPhone SE that will amaze your friends, family, and, most importantly, your Instagram follower!

The phone can capture alluringly exposed shots with vibrant and impressive colors that will look amazing and require minimum effort on your end. If you are an iPhone SE user, this article is for you because we are here to tell you the ultimate tips to get the most beautiful pictures with the iPhone SE.

1. Lighting

Light is a very important factor when it comes to getting beautiful shots. The iPhone SE lacks the Deep Fusion processing as well as the Night Mode that is present in the iPhone 14, which is used for the reduction of image noise and refined details in little light. However, the iPhone SE can still capture satisfactory shots in low light; keeping that in mind, the best result, however, will be achieved from the iPhone SE in the daytime.

If you are planning to have a photo session, the smart thing to do would be to try and time it in a way that gives your phone the maximum opportunity to succeed.

2. Use the Burst Mode

The burst mode in the iPhone SE enables you to take up to 10 photos within 1 second! This feature is amazing for capturing the small detail that takes place within seconds. This function, however, is a little difficult to access as it is a bit more tucked away as compared to the past.

Once you figure out how to enable it, this tool will work wonders for any and all fast-paced subjects, whether it's your dog jumping for a treat or your child ready to make a basket. When you have captured the series of shots, the pictures can be viewed in your gallery, you can press Select and go through all the pictures one by one and pick the picture that captures the action.

3. Live Photos

The 'live photo' is an option on the iPhone SE that can make your regular photos look like long dreamy exposures. This option does not only bring your photos to life with a video of a few seconds, but it also has a feature that enables you to transform many of your images completely. All you have to do is swipe up on any of the photographs from your gallery to access the Effects panel and swipe toward the Log Exposure. One of the best examples of the subject of live photos is running water like the ocean shore or a waterfall pouring over rocks.
