How to deal with no flash on Camera?

[Snazarian]

Hey guys,

I just joined the club yesterday....got myself a new Touch!

I gotta say ive already pimped it out with a lot of programs, but the camera I am very disappointed with......

Is there an app/program to add features so pictures dont look sooo grainy/bad when shooting in less than optimal light conditions?

Thx

Personally, I never buy a phone for the camera :P

I use the built in cam for quick shots when I'm out and too lazy to bring or turn on my "real" camera. Mostly, I'll take pictures of things I want to remember, like signs, flyers and ads. That's a handy trick for bargain hunters by the way.

If you really want to use this for a camera frequently (I don't blame you for not wanting to carry two devices) try to make the best of it. There's always some kind of light source, it's a matter of knowing where to place your subject to get maximum light. Try different backgrounds too, if available. Depending on the light and the subject, a lighter or darker background can make the picture clearer.

You'll still get dim photos of course, especially when taking random shots of everyday life. Two tips: 1. Learn to use the brightness/contrast controls that are available in just about any photo editor. 2. Keep your camera steady (maybe brace it against a table or a wall.)

My number one tip though, is get a dedicated digital camera from a respected brand.

I know this thread is old as hell, but a high power keychain LED works in a pinch

If you've got a decent editing program, you can usually enhance the photo enough to make it worthwhile.

If you don't have the program (or the skills), I've had decent luck with http://http://www.vicman.net/mobilephotoenhancer/
