Taking photos with your smartphone and tablet
The best camera is always the one you have with you. But did you know that your smartphone and tablet can do more? The integrated camera app that comes with your smartphone and tablet only does JPEG. However, the camera sensor can do more. JPEG images are only 8 bits, but the sensor can do 16 bits with a colour depth of 14 bits. These 8 bits mean 28 = 256 colours can be displayed. Whereas the sensor can capture 214 = 16384 colours. This means that data is used very wastefully. Once data is lost, it can no longer be recovered. So get the maximum out of your sensor, I'll show you how.
