Web Desk: Most people use their smartphone camera only to take pictures and make videos, but the truth is that a mobile camera is a multitasking tool that can make everyday life much easier.

The camera of modern smartphones is no longer just a means of photography, but it has become a smart tool in everyday life that makes many difficult tasks easier in moments. Surprisingly, most users are still unaware of these great features of the camera.

Broken remote control or dead battery?

It often happens that the TV or AC remote suddenly stops working. In such a situation, people get confused whether the problem is the battery or the remote itself is broken. The phone’s camera comes in very handy here. Place the remote in front of the mobile camera and press the button. If a blue or white light appears on the IR blaster, the remote is fine, otherwise the battery needs to be changed.

Reading fine writing made easy

Fine writing on medicine packets, electricity bills or any document often becomes difficult to read. In such a case, the smartphone camera acts as a magnifying glass. With the help of zoom in and autofocus, even small words become clear, while turning on the flash provides more convenience.

No measuring instruments, not a problem

Sometimes there is a need to measure the length or width of an object, but there is no scale or tape. The smartphone camera can come in handy here too. The iPhone has a measurement app, while for Android phones, there are several reliable apps available on the Play Store, with the help of which you can make accurate measurements without any instruments.

Instant translation of a foreign language

If you are traveling to another country or are in a restaurant where the menu is written in a foreign language, the phone’s camera provides immediate help. Through apps like Google Translate, the camera scans the text and immediately translates it into your language, which makes it very easy to understand.

Object recognition and information

We often have a desire to know about something, such as the shoes, watch or clothes someone is wearing. With the help of Google Lens, you can take a picture of an object with your phone’s camera and get complete information about it in seconds without having to search for hours on the Internet.

Scanning documents has become easier

There is no longer a need for a separate scanner to scan papers, identity documents or any form. Using the scanning feature in the smartphone’s camera or camera apps, you can create a clear and crisp scan and immediately send it to email or WhatsApp.

The smartphone’s camera is no longer limited to photography, but has become a quick and easy solution to many everyday problems. If you use these features correctly, your mobile can truly become a smart assistant.
