THE PROBLEM
WHY PHOTOS GO FUZZY
Camera shake happens when the camera moves while the shutter is open. Even tiny wiggles smear the image across the sensor. Phones are light, so they shake easily. Zooming in makes shake look worse because you are magnifying every tremor. Blur is not always bad for creative motion shots, but most beginners want crisp edges on their subject. The first fix is not a fancy setting. It is your hands and posture.
🤳 SHAKE
Movement during exposure smears light across the sensor, turning sharp edges soft.
