Best Cell phones to use when taking store photos Some phones allow you to choose what resolution you want to take photos at.

Try to use a cell phone with the highest resolution possible. Some tips Look for good light for a great image. Never use the flash. Never zoom in, rather move in. Be steady. Don’t forget to focus. Adjust the exposure manually. Clean that lens!
