1. Free memory

Video, especially 4K, take up much space. It's not a secret, but still often we forget to prepare enough memory. As a result, it ends up in the most important moment.

Photo selection of horizontal or vertical orientation is not as principled and depends on what you're shooting. But it is desirable to remove the video in landscape orientation.

And pay attention to your own shadow: it can ruin the shot.

To adjust the exposure, press the screen where you want to focus the image. Focus will be on the side of a small sun, which can be moved up and down, thereby changing the exposure. To save the settings, press the screen for a few seconds, until "Lock the exposure / focus" appears. Adjust the desired exposure and the iPhone will keep it as long as you do not press again on the display.

If all else fails, use the flash to add light.

6. Use the rule of thirds

If you have a desire to put your subject in the center or in general does not draw frame, try to remember the rule of thirds: part compositions We should be shared by the whole third of the total. Imagine that on the screen draw a field for the game of tic-tac-toe, and place objects inside it. Unfortunately, mesh, available in photo mode, video is not working.
