In this modern era, cameras have also experienced quite a lot of innovation. Increasingly, cameras are getting smaller and the features offered are no joke. Most smartphones are equipped with features similar to DSLR cameras. Anything?
1. ISO
Usually many people leave the ISO settings on auto. Even though you can tweak the ISO according to your needs. Usually the recommended maximum ISO is 800. If the ISO is too high it will cause noise (spots) in the photo.
2. White balance
White balance settings are usually marked with WB or AWB. You can adjust the light temperature to normal (white). For example, during the day you can use daylight, when it's cloudy you can use cloudy, in light conditions with a yellow bulb you can use inscandescent. You can adjust it again to the situation and photos you want.

3. Grid lines
Grid lines are guide lines for rule of thirds compositions. Usually there are 3 vertical lines and 3 horizontal lines so there are 9 boxes. You can adjust the balance with this line, it is more proportional and not slanted.
4. Metering
Many smartphones are now equipped with metering like DSLR cameras. You can use it to brighten the subject of your photo. For example, if you take a photo of your friend wearing black clothes, you can put the focus on your friend's clothes so that your picture will be brighter.
5. Focus point
To determine focus, it's very easy, you just need to touch where you want to focus with your finger. If the box is green, it means focus is locked, if it is red it means focus has failed. Usually the light and distance of the camera to the subject also affect the camera's focus. Maybe not all focus smartphones are not marked with a box, but it works the same way.
6. Manual focus
Some smartphones are equipped with manual focus. The way it works is almost the same as a DSLR camera, but in the digital version. You can touch the focus lever on the screen and move until the subject is in focus as you want.
7. Macro and infinity focus
In the image above at the bottom there is a flower icon. If you shift the focus to the icon, the camera focus will be at the closest distance. Usually used to photograph small subjects at very close range. Usually the distance is not always the same depending on your smartphone.
Meanwhile, the icon on the other side is the number 8 icon, which means infinite focus. Usually used to photograph landscapes. It could also be that the icon on your smartphone is not the number 8 but a mountain icon. It works the same way as macros. Just shift the focus to the icon and you can take pictures from a distance or at night your photos will be sharp.
