Today’s smartphones have always been a great way to capture your memories, but sometimes these devices can run into issues that can hinder your experience. One such issue may be autofocus.
While it helps you autofocus and take a photo quickly, it can sometimes misfocus on the wrong subject and make the image blurrier in the wrong parts.
This can be especially important in low light scenarios or if you have an older device. If you have some out of focus photos or just photos in general that you’d like to brighten up, here’s how you can get started on your iPhone.
