Capturing your Plunge:

• Use landscape orientation (hold your phone sideways).
• Make sure you have enough light! Shooting outside during daylight hours is a great way to go. You can still capture great photos and videos indoors, you just may need to pick a place where you can get enough light, such as in a well-lit room or by a window. Try to avoid having bright windows or lights behind you, as they could affect your exposure.
• When shooting video, speak loudly and clearly. Avoid standing too far from the camera, since the microphone may have trouble picking you up.
• Avoid windy areas, since it can affect audio quality.
• Keep the camera as steady as possible when recording. You could use a tripod, have someone in your household do the filming, or lean your phone on a shelf or table.
