Shooting Tips (Extended)

1. Steady your shot by bracing your elbows tight into your body and hold the phone in front of you with both hands or by resting your elbows on something sturdy
2. Turn on ‘Airplane Mode’ to avoid interruptions from pesky Facebook friends while channeling your inner ‘Abrams’
3. Avoid shooting with bright light on the edge of the frame or near the edges of your shot. iPhone 5 shutterbugs find this to be the most likely culprit of ‘purple haze’ and is just a good general film/shooting tip
4. Tap a darkened area of your shot to balance the levels before shooting. iPhone auto-balances based on what you tap in the frame
5. If you want to retain focus of a subject throughout a continuous shot, tap and hold the subject in the frame to auto-lock focus on that subject/item/person
