iPhone 8 Plus, the view goes sways and gets blurry before taking the picture.

When I try to take a picture or video with my iPhone 8 Plus, the view goes blurry and starts swaying back and forth. I’m not talking about the photo. This is while trying to take a picture, the view starts swaying and gets blurry. Any ideas?

Adjust the camera’s focus and exposure

Before you take a photo, the iPhone camera automatically sets the focus and exposure, and face detection balances the exposure across many faces. If you want to manually adjust the focus and exposure, do the following:

  1. Tap the screen to show the automatic focus area and exposure setting.
  2. Tap where you want to move the focus area.
  3. Next to the focus area, drag  up or down to adjust the exposure.
  4. To lock your manual focus and exposure settings for upcoming shots, touch and hold the focus area until you see AE/AF Lock; tap the screen to unlock settings.
