How to take great Arirang concert videos
Instructions for both iPhone and Samsung.
Hi ARMY, here is the new and improved guide for taking great concert videos!
But before we dive in, have you seen the new location based Arirang Jerseys in the shop 😄 Available for all locations!
iPhone - steps to shoot a good video
- Use the preset zoom options at the bottom (.5, 1x, 2x). Do NOT zoom by pinching the screen with your fingers.
- Tap on your subject on stage until you see the yellow focus box and exposure (☀️) icon
- Lower the exposure until the video looks crisp usually around -0.3
- Once your zoom and exposure are set, then start recording
- Now hit that red button!
Bonus Tip - iPhone 17 now has a Dual Capture video option where you can shoot the concert and your reaction at the same time!

Disclaimer: I don’t use a Samsung phone, so this is based on research rather than personal experience.
🌟 My most important tip:
Capture a few moments for memories. Then let yourself be fully present. You’re in the same room as BTS - that moment deserves to be felt, not just recorded.
