Nothing Phone 2a

Here are some of the best camera settings and tips you must keep in mind to take your camera game on Nothing Phone 2a up a level –

  • You will get three zoom options, by default the device will be at 1x zoom and you can then choose from 0.6x and 2x zoom, which can then be dragged until 10x zoom
  • Use the Glyph Fill Light option for flash lighting as Nothing Phone 2a camera island has three flash lights surrounding the camera, which light up and provide additional lighting
  • In “More” section, you will get the “Ratio” section, where you need to select 4:3 as other aspect ratios will end up cropping the photo
  • In the “Quality” option, you can choose from 12MP or 50MP depending on how far you are from the subject
  • Always utilize the “Grid” feature as this will form lines on the screen, allowing you to make sure you are taking photos in a straight line and the indentation isn’t tilted
  • In Camera Settings, you can disable the Shutter Sound as it’ll help you ensure you’re not disturbing others while photos are being clicked
  • In the Video Encoding option, you can either choose from H.264 and H.265
  • It is recommended that you select the H.264 format as the latter isn’t compatible with many editing software
  • Nothing Phone 2a offers the unique feature of being able to take Portrait Mode photos in 2x, something which isn’t present in majority of smartphones
  • In Time-Lapse mode, you will be able to take videos in 4K
  • Make use of the suggested scenes/speed option, i.e. 30 for pedestrian crowd, 60 for fast moving clouds, 120 for sunrise/sunset, 480 for moving shadows, 960 for night sky
