I try to take pictures of circuit boards with my phone in high res… Since the light is angled when it enters my camera the edges of the board are distorted so that the small texts are blocked and/or distorted.

And I don’t know if getting a camera with a bigger lense (flattening) and sensor (lighting) would fix it. Regardless I don’t want to do that right now. Or do I need to rely on optical zoom?

So is there an app that can use the phones’ instruments and with giving me guidance would give me a flat image result?

Or I need some solution?

    Flat-field macro lenses are different. Macro lenses have flatter front elements compared to traditional curved-field lenses. They also deliver edge-to-edge sharpness, even illumination, and little, if any, distortion. Even wide open, the levels of sharpness at the edges of the frame are equal or close to the sharpness levels of the center of the frame. Stop down 2 to 3 stops and any differences in edge sharpness, vignetting, and distortion (if any) become null and void.

    I figure I also need to get an actually decent camera system to carry around which I intended to do…
