*When recording, please do the following:

Record in a quiet place with no background noises or distractions.

Be sure that you are not too close, and not too far from the camera.

Allow for there to be enough natural light so that the image isn't distorted.

Please check to see if you are recording in 1080p or 4K resolution. This can be viewed in the settings of your phone. If not- no worries, but the higher the resolution, the better for all!
