How to Take Sharp Baby Photos on a Phone: Shutter Speed & Focus Tips

Babies are constantly wiggling, waving their hands, and kicking their feet. If your indoor photos often turn out slightly blurry, the culprit is almost always low indoor light forcing your phone into a slow shutter speed.

1. Wipe Your Camera Lens First

Give the lens a quick wipe with a soft cotton cloth before every session.

2. Tap and Lock Focus on the Nearest Eye

Tap directly on your baby’s nearest eye on your screen and slide the brightness sun icon slightly upward for a warm, radiant portrait.
