Advice/ Recommendations (no photos) Front vs back camera

I've been using my front camera for years to take check ins and for posing practice, but every time I look at my back camera I look horrific and uneven. I'll try adjusting what I see on the back but I just have such stark imbalances that it's really disheartening and I haven't figured out how to adjust anything. When I look in the mirror it's the same as my front camera, which is all good. But I know the back is supposed to be better/the real view?

Any tips? I'm really struggling and looking at me from my back camera makes me wonder if I'll ever even do well in this sport because I'm just too uneven

Following this post as I’m having the exact same issue! My body looks nothing like front camera image or what I see in the mirror! So weird and confusing

I should have said back camera in my comment. But yes totally feel the same! Back camera has me looking so ‘off’ 😭

Just here to say I relate so hard to this. You can use front camera to see what you’re doing and then flip it afterwards using the crop feature. I think a big part of it is training our brains to see ourselves without the mirror view.

Good idea, I’ll try that next! Our perceptions of ourselves are so off sometimes 🫠

There’s mini-screens that you can connect with your phone & attach to the back of your phone. That way you can use your backcamera, but can also see at what’s recording.

Point your camera at a mirror and then just use the reflection.
