Most people just use the camera in their smartphone out of sheer convenience, but some of us prefer the superior image quality of a standalone camera. Can’t decide between the two? There is a middle ground: with a few apps, tips, and techniques, your smartphone can connect to your camera to shoot and share a whole lot better.
Sony recently released a set of lens cameras that use your smartphone as a body and viewfinder. It’s a great idea—quickly snapping high quality pictures on our mobile devices—but these cameras may have a way to go before most people would consider them a worthwhile supplement.
That said, they’re not the only way you can use your smartphone to take better photos. Many brands can connect to your phone over Wi-Fi, including other Sony cameras and models from Canon, Nikon, Samsung, and some others. Even if you don’t have a Wi-Fi-enabled camera, you can get in on the fun with an Eye-Fi card and by using a few other options that work with just about anything. You can even tether over USB with many options, if you prefer. A connected camera makes it easier to get relevant shooting information, edit images, and share them with ease. In this post, we’ll take a look at how you can get amazing photos with the help of your smartphone.
