Having a smartphone in your pocket means having access to a camera that allows you to photograph anything whenever you want, and by learning how to use this camera journalists could snap some great photos on location without any extra equipment.
Following yesterday's post about third party camera apps for your phone, today we're looking at the native camera on the device and how to get the best pictures when using it.
