In poor lighting conditions, even the most advanced cameras in mobile devices yield images that are marred by noise and lack detail especially in the shadows. Don’t let this deter you because you can always extend the limited shooting capability of your Android device’s camera. Simply install an app that helps you to take clear, vividly colored snapshots even when the lighting is inadequate. Here are four camera apps to download for free from the Google Play store and to install on your Android smartphone or tablet, so you can start taking beautifully crisp pictures at night or in low-light conditions.
