Check the image on the Viewfinder and select the option that displays the closest color to the natural color of the subject. § In Camera settings, you can tap Image adjustments and adjust the exposure, contrast, and others before taking the photo. § After capturing the photo, you can continue to edit the contrast, brightness, and other settings in Gallery. You can even straighten a slightly skewed photo by tapping Edit > Tools > Straighten.
