Life in a 10g

Quite blurry at first, then it sharpens up.
Enjoy! Also, it is in a major portrait orientation. Fish are having a swimming good time!
You can make the video larger by using your fingers. Still working on my tech navigation.

If you hold your phone horizontally instead of vertically, the video will fill the entire screen instead of just occupying the middle.

Yes, I see. I was attempting to make a close-up. I've never seen it do this before. Maybe it's YouTube, OR I have been doing the others as you suggest and just don't remember

It's not YouTube, it's form holding the phone vertically and lots of people do it

For close up work you need lots of light on the subject. You can see if there is a "Macro" setting for close up work, or zoom in on the subject. However, the more you zoom in, the more likelihood of the footage being shakey.

*the more you zoom in, the more likelihood of the footage being shakey.*

I wonder why that is, Colin. I've noticed it on my photos and put it down to my just not being very good at photography.

When you zoom in on a subject, the lens becomes longer and is more susceptible to shake/ movement. This means the picture is more likely to be blurry unless you increase the shutter speed or use a tripod, something you can't normally do with phones.

Light also plays a factor here and cameras work best with lots of light. Cameras work best outside during the middle of the day where there is heaps of bright light and things can be picked up easily. Indoors and the light levels are significantly less and cameras usually reduce the shutter speed or use a higher ISO rating in the lower light conditions, sometimes both. A slower shutter speed means there is more chance or camera shake/ movement and a blurry picture. A higher ISO number means the picture will be more grainy (have grey, black & white specks through it).
