Vivo, one of the largest Chinese manufacturers in Turkey announced: “6 tips for night photography you need to know”
Taking pictures at night with smartphones was very difficult until recent years, especially due to the light problem. Very clear and even unclear images were obtained due to low light, and it was almost impossible to clearly capture the moon and stars at night. However, with the technological developments in smartphone cameras, it is possible to capture the most beautiful frames with your phone in the dark and in low light. Those who want to take the most beautiful photos in the dark and at night should pay attention to some practical tips:
- -Start with night mode or minor adjustments: You can use the night mode feature of the phone cameras to make the photos you take with your smartphone at night beautiful. Or you can open the aperture, slow down the shutter speed, or play around with the ISO setting just like with a camera. You can get better photos by increasing the light of the sensor to improve the image quality.
- -Finding the right light or increasing the light: In night shots, you need to make sure that there is enough light on the subject you will photograph. For this, you can adjust the LED light settings on your phone or make sure that the light does not come directly to the image. Sometimes it may be enough just to adjust the light on the subject you are going to photograph. You can use flash or fill light for this, or you may want your subject to come a little closer to a light source such as a street lamp or car headlight, depending on the situation. You can take advantage of mobile accessories such as Pocket Spotlight and Smartphone Ring Light, or, if you do not have such devices, small and easily portable portable light sources such as flashlights.
- -Long exposure: You can increase the exposure time using your phone’s “Pro” mode or manual mode. You should not move the camera during the 30 second long exposure.
- -Ensure sharpness with support accessories: Limiting light and movement is extremely important for night photography. It can be difficult to focus on your subject clearly due to the longer exposure and wider aperture. If you’re taking a photo of a person, you can ask them not to move. But even if your subject stays still, camera shake can also cause a decrease in the sharpness of the photo. This creates greater distress at night or in the dark. To solve this problem, you can hold the camera steady by using a tripod. For night sky photography, you can use a cable to remotely control the shutter and take the photo you want without touching the camera.
- -Creating wonders with photo apps: You can also use some photo editing applications for professional quality photos. After taking the photo, you can apply the number of grains of the photo as much as you want by applying a black and white filter among the photo applications. With the applications, you can brighten your photo by playing with settings such as stylish, contrast, shadow, so you can get the image you want.
The V29 model, offered by Vivo to users in our country, allows you to shoot at night and in dark environments without the need for these tricks with its studio-level photography capabilities integrated into the smartphone. The V29 offers outstanding nighttime image quality with its advanced 50MP OIS Ultra Detection Camera. By widening exposure and increasing light input, it ensures extremely stable images to be captured, allowing you to achieve superior image quality and satisfactory results in photos and videos even in low light conditions. The phone also enhances the sky viewing and photographing experience with Super Moon Mode, which helps users capture the most beautiful moments of the night sky and the brightest images of the moon, and Astro mode, which allows them to capture and photograph the Milky Way on romantic summer nights.

Light up at night with “Starlight”
Especially Ambitious about studio portraits, the V29 helps you take beautiful and impressive portraits at night and in the dark with its “Star Light” (Aura Light), which provides nine times more than a standard flash but a soft light similar to those in professional studios. “Star Light” creates a three-dimensional lighting effect. Thus, the shadows on the face of the person being photographed and the dark areas in the environment disappear. Smart Color Temperature Adjustment, which allows the camera to adapt to changing color temperatures, also supports Star Light in illuminating objects in dim environments and highlighting their features. Some innovative technologies provide the V29’s Star Light’s excellent photographic performance in the dark:
- -Adjustable 4 LED light source with color temperature: Traditional LED fill lights only have a fixed color temperature, making it difficult for the light to adapt to changing environments. To solve this problem, Vivo has completely overhauled the light source system by introducing LEDs with different color temperatures in the V29. The new 4-LED light source system includes 2 cold and 2 warm LEDs placed in the center of the circle to achieve even illumination for the Star Light. Thanks to these 4 LEDs, the light is evenly distributed throughout the Star Light, ensuring consistent color temperature and brightness. While the power of each LED is controlled to provide automatic adjustment between 23 color temperature levels, vivo has also managed to achieve stepless color temperature adjustment, allowing for a seamless transition between color temperature levels.
- -Your rays Innovative conical reflecting optical path that allows 360° full-angle projection: vivo’s optics lab developed the V29 lens, inspired by modern astronomical telescopes. Known as the “Cassegrain structure,” this advanced structure uses a special reflective design to fold the optical path. This special design significantly reduces the length of the lens, making it particularly suitable for sensitive equipment with limited space. The light reflects evenly at 360 degrees thanks to the four reflective cones with free-form surfaces aligned with the four LEDs in the center of the vivo V29’s LED cover, which is made from a single piece of optical grade polycarbonate.
- – Even and soft illumination with nano level “Starlight” process: A nanoscale vacuum coating has been applied to the surface of the reflective cone at the center of the annular Starlight, which improves reflective performance. Starlight’s outer ring consists of fine diamond-cut Fresnel grooves that direct the rays outward. Nano-level precision machining ensures equal spacing and depth for each pattern circle. This, combined with the Bokeh particles with an icy blast effect, creates a softening effect on the beams. This provides precise control of the light distribution angle and more even illumination.
Videos are also much better with V29
With the V29’s advanced technology, you can capture not only successful photos but also successful and visually beautiful videos by capturing the details at night in the best way. The Ultra Stable Video feature supported by OIS and EIS ensures more stable and clear shooting of night scenes. It performs up to 1,000 stabilization calculations and up to 10,000 stabilization movements per second to capture images with clarity and precision, effectively reducing blur caused by unwanted motion.
