A Taylor Swift fan shares the iPhone camera features you need to know ahead of her Ellas tour.
Michelle Gonzalez stood in a roaring crowd at one of the superstar's concerts in the United States in early 2023.
During the show, she managed to capture perfect footage of the singer's performance after learning a simple camera trick.

“If you're going on the Elas Tour, here are my photography tips to help you look back and have the best memories,” she says in the video, which has now been viewed over 10 million times and gone viral.
Michelle said you always need to adjust your camera's exposure settings when photographing a concert.
“Reduce your exposure,” she suggested, adding, “I learned this, and it was what made the difference.”
To adjust exposure, open the camera, tap the screen to reveal exposure settings, and drag the sun symbol down.
“Tap the screen as if to concentrate while shooting, dragging the little sun down,” she said.
Michelle gave a demonstration and showed how the footage looks too bright when using normal exposure.
The quality of her video was blurry and grainy because the camera picked up too much light from the stage.
When shooting the scene with low exposure, a dark version of the stage was captured, but the singers and backup dancers were perfectly lit with clear, high-quality vision.
“Do you see how much more clearly you can see Taylor when you drown out the background?'' Michelle said.
The second iPhone camera tip that Swifties have shared on social media is to record their shows in 4K.
“iPhone users, don't forget to set your camera to 4K 60fps,” one fan said.
Shooting in 4K at 60fps provides smooth motion, perfect for fast movements. Perfect for capturing the singer's energetic choreography.
“Literally the best tip I've ever seen. I changed my settings a few weeks ago in preparation for Sydney this week,” one person said.
Lastly, Michelle said that people should try not to scream during filming.
“This is going to be tough. Don't keep shouting the lyrics while filming,” she said.
“The last thing you want to do is look back at the footage and realize you can't even hear Taylor, she's screaming at the top of her lungs.
“If you hold your phone close enough to you, you can sing along perfectly at normal volume without your phone picking up your voice.”
However, one fan suggested, “Maybe if you cover your phone's microphone, it will only pick up the music from the concert and not your singing.”
Her videos have been viewed more than 4 million times, with many saying her camera tip is a “lifesaver.”
“Oh, I just found out for the first time that you can do that with a little sun,” one person confessed.
