Samsung Galaxy S23 camera tips to take incredible food shots
It’s common for people to look for their best angles when taking a selfie. But it’s not just limited to the portraits as taking photos of food has become a common habit, especially if you share your routine on social media, and with the new Samsung Galaxy S23 camera, any dish will look impressive.
Samsung Galaxy smartphones already offer a native camera option to record all types of food: just go to the camera app, choose the “More” option, and then “Food”. You can capture the details of a good dish, a delicious ice cream on a sunny day, the bubbles in the glass of soda, or that hamburger at dinner.
Samsung Galaxy S23 camera tips to take incredible food shots:
Adjust focus to capture details
Galaxy S23 5G’s “Food” mode features automatic focus adjustment when you bring the camera closer to the subject. But it’s best to play around with this feature, zooming in or out to adjust the richness of the food’s detail. You can leave the object in question to the side and, by blurring the background, the food or drink will stand out even more in the photo.
Great photos in any lighting
You will realize that each restaurant, bar, or cafeteria usually offers its own lighting, which is hardly the same in all these environments. A more intimate restaurant has a darker, more reserved atmosphere, while a fast food chain may have brighter lights.
And if you’re in a dimly lit place, take advantage of the Galaxy S23 5G’s Nightography feature to capture detail and sharpness regardless of the light.
Combine food, drink and desserts
When it’s time to take photos, broaden your horizons and use the 200 MP lens to capture more than one item at a time, like glasses of drink next to a pretty plate of pasta at your favorite Italian restaurant.
If it is a dessert, such as ice cream with chocolate syrup, take the opportunity to place the ingredients near the main dish. Work the composition to create impressive photos that go viral on social networks.
It is part of the photos holding the food
That’s right, you can also go outside, regardless of the ambient light, thanks to the S23 5G’s front-facing cameras, which can also capture photos and videos with Nightography.
With these tips, it’s easy to make the most of the great photographic possibilities of Food Mode or take selfies with your Galaxy S23 5G. Savor not only your dish but also the result of your ability to photograph it with all the details.
