Lenovo Vibe shares tips how to take creative photos with a smartphone camera
Smartphone cameras are inarguably replacing traditional point-and-shoot cameras in taking instant photos and sharing them with friends from anywhere at any time. It's practical, easy-to-use and convenient. It used to be a backup in case you need to capture a moment in case you forgot your regular camera. Cameras were merely an add-on to the basic connectivity features of cellphones. They were not great but they did the job.
Today, the social element that smartphones bring has changed the way people interact and communicate. Hence, visual representations of our thoughts and our daily lives have become as important. Smartphones are considered the go-to device for a lot of people and its cameras are now a focus feature that manufacturers are continuously working on. Lenovo, a leading brand in the PC world and now trendsetting the mobile market, recently launched the ultra-sleek Lenovo Vibe Series that gives you an all-new perspective of what powerful smartphone cameras look like.
Get Powerful Specs
Go ahead and capture those fun memories of you and your loved ones with the Lenovo Vibe Series and make the best out of life. Both the Vibe X and Vibe Z sport a 13-Megapixel auto-focused rear camera that has a powerful LED flash just like your point-and-shoot camera. It has a burst feature so you won't have to miss any detail you wanted to capture. It also has a backside illumination (BSI) sensor that increases the amount of light being captured and improving low-light conditions.
Exposure in normal settings are usually an issue for many smartphone cameras. The camera evaluates the current scene being taken and then applies the appropriate exposure settings for it. This process usually reduces the your capture time and more often than not, you either end up still getting bad photos or you just missed the perfect moment. The Vibe Series allows you to set the light metering, allowing the camera to evaluate the scene depending on the specific position selected. You may also choose the spot metering option that lets you point the spot or area to be evaluated.

Take Better Selfies
Oftentimes, we find really good rear-facing cameras in smartphones but the front-facing lens is a major let down. Front-facing cameras were primarily used for video chatting, during the time when applications such as Skype became a hit. Today, the role of front-facing cameras have evolved into taking self-portraits, a phenomenon which we all know as taking "selfies" although the these photos predates the widespread use of the term. The appeal of taking selfies comes from how easy it is to create and share them in social media sites.
The Lenovo Vibe Series lets you take better selfies with its 5-Megapixel front-facing camera. Its 84-degree wide angle lens can capture more of the scene, so you can also include a bunch of your friends or maybe an interesting background in the photo with you too! The Lenovo Vibe Series has a face detector so you won't have to worry that your selfie is out of focus.
An interesting feature to complement the 5-Megapixel front-facing camera is the beauty mode where you can enhance your selfies and looking your best. The Vibe X features an additional beauty shot button when using the front-facing camera for a simple, easy breezy selfie that you can instantly share with your friends.
The Lenovo Vibe Series lets photo enthusiasts capture any epic moment and be creative about their photos. It truly makes a remarkable gadget for people who are always on the go. The slim and powerful Vibe Series produce high quality photos that you've always wanted to get from your smartphone.
