Just so we are all on the same page before we start, when I say “exposure” I mean brightness.

EXPOSURE = BRIGHTNESS

Ok so here goes.

When you touch your screen in any camera app, your iPhone will attempt to make that area the correct brightness and also the correct focus. But often it does not turn out the way that you intend for it to.

Camera+ is my app of choice for most iPhone shooting because I can manually control how bright the photo is (exposure) and also what's in focus. [DOWNLOAD CAMERA+] *

With Camera+ you can split the focus and exposure allowing you to get the perfect brightness and focus.

I've created a shareable visual guide to easily explain this.
