Lens-Distance Effects: How Far Should Your Camera Be?

Lens-Distance Effects: How Far Should Your Camera Be?

Distance between your camera and face dramatically influences how your features appear in any selfie analysis, including those by MirrorIQ. Exploring optimal camera distance can help you achieve truer insights and avoid distortion. If you're ready to experiment, try a custom analysis and compare the results yourself!

How Distance Affects Facial Appearance

When using your phone or camera, staying too close may exaggerate features such as your nose or forehead. Stepping back a bit leads to more balanced proportions, which MirrorIQ's AI can analyze more accurately—and for privacy, photos are never stored.

Ideal Camera Placement

  • Hold your camera at least arm's length away for minimal distortion.

  • Camera should be at or just above eye level for symmetrical results.

  • Using a timer lets you relax and have better posture in the frame.

Testing Different Distances

Experimenting with a few distances is useful. Upload each to MirrorIQ and observe any discrepancies in your info-only report. Want guidance on pricing? Explore the plans and features at any time.
