Do you clean the phone camera lens everytime before you take a picture? (sh.itjust.works)

I feel like pictures are "tainted" if I don't wipe it first before taking a picture... Like if there's a small amount of dirt on the lens in the picture... I'm gonna get soooo annoyed and its not even a picture anymore might as well just delete it lol

It’s not as detrimental as you think.

If you take a dedicated camera, put it on a tripod, and shoot it at like f22, yeah, you’ll clearly see a spec of dust or a smudge in a shot. But shoot with a wide open aperture (like your phone usually does), and its essentially invisible.

And then that little imperfection gets AI’d away by all the computational frame-stacking your phone does for every shot.

In other words, your phone’s images so processed that one spec of dust doesn’t really matter.

And even on RAWs from a mirrorless camera, it’s the least of your problems, with things like shot noise, motion blur, lens distortion, botched settings and other imperfections all having a much bigger impact on the final image.
