What to do if the photos taken by iPhone are blurry

There are only three situations that will cause the photos taken by iPhone to be blurry. We can use the following three methods to solve the problem.

Problem 1: The photo is out of focus. Improper focus is one of the most common reasons why iPhone photos end up blurry. The focus is incorrectly set to the extreme foreground. While the apple in the foreground is in focus and shows a lot of detail, the more important human figure is blurry and out of focus.

Solution: Stop relying on autofocus. The best thing you can do to avoid out-of-focus images is to always set the focus yourself. Just tap the part of the image you want to focus on and your iPhone will take care of the rest. When focus is locked, you essentially disable autofocus and the iPhone won't adjust focus no matter what happens within the scene. To exit focus lock, simply tap the screen again.

Problem 2: Camera shake. Before we discuss other reasons why your photos might end up blurry, we have to take a step back and consider how your iPhone camera works. Although we think of photos as being frozen in time, the iPhone actually takes a while to capture the photo, and if anything is moved during this time, that movement will cause blur. When there's enough light, like on a sunny day outdoors, the shutter remains open for such a short time that there's no need to worry about camera shake.

Solution: Keep iPhone stable. If you can keep your iPhone steady on the same photo taken with the same iPro telephoto lens, the iPhone's stability makes a world of difference, especially when there's low light in the scene. If you don't have external support, try propping your elbows on your torso, which can also help relax and slow your breathing. Many photographers find that their hands are more stable immediately after exhaling.

Problem 3: Motion blur. Just like camera shake, motion blur occurs when movement is captured while the shutter is open. But unlike camera shake, motion blur refers to the movement of the subject itself.

Solution: Reduce the impact of exercise. There are some things you can do to reduce the effects of motion blur. The two most obvious options are to increase the amount of lighting and ask the subject to stay still. Of course these are usually not practical. Just like camera shake, the effects of motion blur can be reduced by taking multiple versions of the same photo. Motion blur and camera shake can be reduced by setting a highlight exposure, resulting in photos that are darker and require the shutter to remain open for a shorter period of time. After you set focus by tapping the screen, you can adjust exposure by sliding your finger up or down on the screen.
