Try holding the camera as far away as possible for some shots to see if it helps, and also try playing with that slider to see what it does. Perhaps the lens of the Note 4 makes this even more pronounced. As a result, a wider field of view will be crammed into one photo and the edges will look distorted. Using the wide-angle camera for a selfie means you will capture the entire image your sensor sees. I know you can't do this with a selfie unless you have a tripod, which sorta defeats the purpose. Another reason why your selfies look distorted is that you might be using the wide-angle camera and a 4:3 ratio.

If you back up 15ft, and use a telephoto lens, then the nose is like only 2% closer than the eyes…and the face takes on a flatter, more appealing look. So the nose looks really large in this case as it can be 3 inches from the camera and the eyes are 5 inches away. In some cases, the nose can be 50% closer if the camera is really close. If the camera is close to the face, then the nose is even closer than the eyes. Why is this important? Well, take a larger nose for example. What this does, is it make facial features about the same distance from the camera.

Professional portrait photographers tend to back away from their subjects, and use telephoto lenses to “zoom in”. Perspective is an important thing to keep in mind when photographing people.

Tap it, and you can slide something from 0-8, not sure the effect of this.perhaps the manual or a youtube video can help.Īs someone who has some experience with photography, I can give you some insight. First thing I noticed, when you are using the front camera, a "selfie" icon will appear on the screen.
