Ensure your camera is properly focused on the subject. Adjust the position of your smartphone/tablet on the tray. |
| Remote control not working. | Batteries are dead or incorrectly inserted; remote not paired via Bluetooth; app not responding. | Check/replace remote batteries. Re-pair the remote control via Bluetooth in your device settings and teleprompter app. Restart the app and try again. |
| Dark corners or vignetting in camera footage. | Lens focal length is too wide; camera not positioned correctly. | Ensure your lens has a focal length of 35mm or greater. Adjust the camera's position on the platform to center the lens with the teleprompter's opening. |
