Photographer struggles to take self-portraits with a shallow depth of field because the camera requires a remote trigger that is not built-in, causing out-of-focus shots.

Workarounds Described

• uses timer and tries to stand in exact focus spot
• considers buying separate remote receiver and transmitter

Implied Software Gaps

• Smartphone app that combines wireless remote, focus lock, and live view for precise self-portrait focusing

SelfPortrait Focus Lock

A smartphone app that turns your phone into a wireless remote with focus lock and live preview, allowing you to set focus, step away, and trigger the shutter with shallow depth of field. Works with any camera that has Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, and can integrate with existing strobe triggers.
