How to Safely Photograph the Eclipse with Your Smartphone
-
Don't look directly at the sun during the eclipse, even briefly, as it can damage your eyes. This goes for using your phone's camera as well.
-
Phone cameras are at risk of sensor damage if exposed to the bright sun for too long during the eclipse.
-
You can buy solar filters for phone cameras to capture images more safely.
-
Only take photos during the actual eclipse, when light levels are reduced, and in short bursts. This puts less strain on your phone's camera.
-
With the right gear like lenses, solar filters, and tripods, you can get good photos of the eclipse with your smartphone.
