1) Great Portrait

Known as "Portrait Mode" in Portuguese, the Great Portrait can only be done by the rear camera of the iPhone 7 Plus. The feature allows you to blur the background of the image just like on professional cameras. To take a good picture in portrait mode, you must maintain a distance of the object or person of at least 2.5 meters. The phone displays a message if you are not in the correct position. To take a photo, touch the subject of the photo to make the background blurred.

Portrait mode is only available on iPhone 7 Plus

2) Close-up

Close-up is similar to portrait mode, but is indicated to shoot the subject very closely. To use this function, simply leave the camera in normal photo mode and arrange the focus where you want it (click inside the yellow square to focus on the image). After that, the cell phone will set the best exposure of the photo. You can slide up or down if you want to change it. The background of the image will also be blurred.

3) Vertical Cloth

Vertical Pano means panoramic, in Portuguese. This feature is available from the iPhone 6 and lets you take photos of the entire view of a certain place. To make an image in this style, scroll through the camera options until you find "Panorama". Then click the white button to start taking the photo. Move the camera to complete the "transparent" space with the white arrow. You do not need to fill in everything, when you want to interrupt the photo, touch "stop".

You can also use panorama mode to take pictures horizontally.

4) Without Flash

In bright places, you do not need to use the flash to take pictures. If you try to insert a flash, the image may be saturated or white due to high light exposure. So when in bright environments, remember to turn off the flash on your phone and focus on the subject or person you are photographing.

iPhone 7 lets you take good photos without a flash if you have natural light in the environment

5) Action

This tip is useful for those who want to take pictures on the move, such as in races, jumps or in simpler situations. Just keep pressing the shutter (white ball) in photo mode. At the end, a "mini album" with all photos taken from that moment will be displayed on the screen. To access it, click "select", check out all the photos you took and select the best ones.

6) Selfie with the timer

One solution for anyone who wants to take a picture from afar, but has no one to beat it, is to set a time to shoot the shutter. The timer is available on both the rear and front camera. To use it, simply select the clock icon, choose between 3 or 10 seconds and position the device as you wish. Then squeeze the shutter to shoot the photo and pose.

7) Shoot stills while film

This is valid during the filming, because at the same time that it is recording, the iPhone can take photos. Put in the "video" option and start recording. To take a picture while recording, simply click the white ball on the left side of the recording icon. At the end, the photos and video will be saved in the gallery.

8) Edit a selfie

A good tip to leave the photo the way you want it is to edit it. On the iPhone, you can do this by the device's photos app, without having to download anything. This function is available for any image made by the iPhone, either by the front camera (selfie) or by the rear.

Just click on the three-line icon with balls and then click on the "magic wand" on the right side (the wand will turn blue when applying the effect on the image). This function automatically corrects the photo, making it sharper and brighter. You can also crop or rotate the image and share it on Facebook, Instagram, Email, WhatsApp and other apps.

9) A sunset silhouette

To take a picture of someone's silhouette, the weather must be open, with sunshine. If it is cloudy and raining, the image will be completely dark. The subject or person who is going to shoot must be in the direction of the sun (almost in front of him) and the camera must be in normal photo mode. Focus on the person and shake the exposure (you can go up or down, in which case it will be down). Make the change until the photo is according to what you want.
