Get your aim right

Setting focus when you're trying to film yourself?

If you are going to shoot yourself and want it to look great, I suggest you get some of the technicalities right. Especially setting focus.

Yes, it's so much easier to keep all the settings of the video camera on your smartphone to auto, but that's not going to give you the sharpest image.

If your phone has the ability to lock the focus them make sure you set the focus

But how can you stand in front of the camera in the position where your are going to present from, and at the same time be behind your phone so you can set the focus?

Watch the video below and find out how...
