Capture the Solar Eclipse with Your Cellphone!
How to Capture the Eclipse on Monday
Step 1: Protect Your Camera
Before you attempt to photograph the eclipse, it is crucial to protect your camera. Using a solar filter will shield your device from potential damage caused by the sun's intense light.
Step 2: Adjust Your Camera Settings
Avoid using digital zoom, as it can compromise image quality. Instead, physically move closer to the eclipse to capture detailed shots.
Step 3: Focus on the Eclipse
To ensure sharp images, tap your screen on the area where you want to focus and hold until you see the "AE/AF LOCK" alert appear. This will lock your camera's focus on the eclipse.
Step 4: Use a Solar Filter
Protect both your eyes and your cellphone camera by using a solar filter. Carly Stocks, a Utah-based astronomical enthusiast, emphasizes the importance of having the right solar filter in front of your device.
