I use HTC EVO
1. Go to settings and choose ISO
2. Select desire ISO (I recomend using 400iso)
3. Do not use flash ligth.
4. Use a glass magnifier for close up pics.

To take close up pics, use the small part of the glass magnifier.


Sorry for my bad english.
 
Wow! This could really help people trying to get closer shots of corals but only have their camera phone.
 
Those look great.

I can also recommend using sunglasses as a tactic to reduce glare. Mine (the only pair I have tried taking pictures through) are Costa 580P with amber lenses. I can imagine how there may not be the same result with dark lense. The clarity from the lack of glare really does help. I would post pictures but all my stuff is in a holding container while tank re-cycles.

Thanks for the tips!

Anyone know any other macro options for phones? The one I use has to be 1/4-1 inch from subject being photographed. I have tried to mod a water proof container and it just doesn't work, and with the bag style... No control. Any ideas? Also is there a way to change iPhone camera settings, like for the EVO? Looked but didn't see any options :(
