Cool Feature: Grid QUICK PRACTICE!

  • 1. Settings -> Camera -> Grid
  • 2. Compose your shot (by thirds)

The Rule of Thirds (Wikipedia): An image should be … divided into nine equal parts … with important compositional elements placed along these lines or their intersections.

Geek Tip: The grid has a level to help you scan flat documents. Hold the phone parallel to the floor, a + indicator floats around the center of the

with the non-moving +, you’re holding the phone perfectly flat.
