Don’t zoom. Ever.

“Zooming” on (most) cell phone cameras isn’t the
“zoom” you might think it is. While some cell

phones do have an optical zoom function, the
majority of them don’t, and any zoom built in is
called “digital zoom.” In these cases, there are no

lenses moving inside adjusting the field of view;
instead, the only thing that is “zooming” is the

software cropping the image down to a smaller
size. You can do this yourself later while you’re
editing the photos so you don’t lose valuable

resolution; you might need it later!

Instead of zooming “in camera,” I cropped down in
post so I can still have the wider image if I need it
