01
One koi, one video
Use a clean blue bowl with clear, calm water and film only one koi at a time.
Before you film
A clear video gives you the best portrait.
Give KoiFrame a clean, unobstructed view of your koi. Ten to twenty seconds is enough.

Five simple checks
Give us a clear view of your koi.
You do not need special camera equipment. A recent phone with a clean lens is enough.
02
Show the complete koi
Keep the nose, tail and both pectoral fins visible, with a little space around the koi.
03
Film steadily
Film from the head side at roughly a 55–60° angle. Do not film completely straight down.
04
Use soft, even light
Film in the shade or under a parasol. Avoid direct sun, glare, reflections and hard shadows.
05
Upload the original file
Use at least 1080p and 30 fps. Avoid filters, digital zoom and WhatsApp compression.
Keep the view clean
Small details make a big difference.
Let the koi swim naturally for a few seconds. The best moments show it straight, away from the bowl edge, with both fins visible and spread.

Keep it complete, sharp and free from glare. That is all KoiFrame needs.
