How to shoot

1. Horizontal screen shooting.

Although most of the current mobile apps are in vertical screen structure, when you click on a video to watch it in full screen, you will find that it is still in horizontal screen mode. This will use limited screen space. Don't believe what some articles say, change your mind and use vertical screen. Because it is not suitable for our national conditions.

As for manual focus control, it is very practical for people who plan to approach the subject from far and near, because you need the camera to focus on a certain area. The specific model may be set differently, please refer to the manual of the mobile phone or online articles.
