Before You Hit Record

01
Clean Your Camera Lens
Wipe it before every single shoot. This one habit alone dramatically improves sharpness and clarity — most blurry footage comes from a dirty lens, not bad settings.
02
Tap to Focus
Tap directly on your face in the camera app to lock focus. Don't let the phone guess — tell it exactly where to look.
03
Lower the Exposure
After tapping to focus, hold down on the screen to lock focus and exposure (AE/AF lock). Then drag the sun icon down slightly to reduce brightness.
💡 This makes your footage look more cinematic and prevents blown-out highlights — it's a small tweak with a big visual impact.
