<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 4191997, member: 19463"]There is a tendency in small cameras and all phones to try to improve apparent sharpness by boosting contrast and saturation in the default settings to offset the fact that the sensor is minuscule. If your camera is producing objectionable hot spots and harsh images, see if it allows manual control reducing contrast, saturation and in-camera sharpening. The photos shot on phones are intended to be used on phones and not quite so impressive when printed on paper or enlarged on a big monitor. The experience of Coin talk is different for those of you who work on a phone and those who have a 32" monitor. I suspect folks who bid in auctions from their phones get more surprises than those who sit at a desktop. We each can have an opinion as to whether a scratch exists if you can't see it on your phone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
