6. Locking Your Camera’s Focal Point to Take Better Pictures and Videos
Perhaps you were secretly planning to be a photographer on the down low, and you thought a great gadget to start with is your iPhone? Well, your dreams are pretty valid. The iPhone has one of the highest Definition cameras in the smartphone industry, and rest assured you’ll get some pretty decent pics with it.
That being said, one thing that troubled us was that every time you slightly moved the camera after tapping the screen to select an ideal focal point, it would disappear! Say, no more. It turns out there is/was a remedy to deal with this after all.

Instead of just going for the proverbial screen tap, you can press the screen and hold on it for a second or longer, and the ‘ AF Locked’ dialog box appears.
After this, you can now turn, twist, and even swing the phone around without losing the focal point.
Thankfully, this feature can be found in almost any version of the iOS camera, though it would be safe to say that it would be a little outdated in the first generations of iPhones.
