Smartphone video for community groups

The three settings to change before you film a single second.

Lock the basics in your phone settings

Before pressing record, take 30 seconds in your camera app:

1. RESOLUTION: 1080p at 30 fps (1080p HD is fine for online; 4K eats space). 2. ORIENTATION: horizontal for YouTube and community newsletters, vertical for Reels / TikTok / WhatsApp Status. Don't change mid-shoot. 3. GRID: turn it on for composition — it helps you keep horizons level.

Now tap-and-hold to lock focus and exposure on your subject — and you're ready.
