Samsung Galaxy: How to Get the Whole Photo in Focus

Quick summary: If your close-up photos come out with part of the picture blurry, don’t get closer. Step back and zoom in.

Why it happens

When you hold your phone very close to something, it can’t keep everything in focus. Often the background is blurry, or parts of the subject are. It’s especially common with text, like sheet music or a document.

Step by step

1. Step back from your subject. You don’t have to go far.
2. Zoom in with the camera until it’s framed the way you want.
3. Take the photo.

Zooming in from a little farther away usually captures sharper focus across the whole shot than getting right up close.
