Why does my camera love selfies

I can’t be the only one who notices that every time I try to take a picture of someone else, my camera accidentally ends up with a perfect selfie of me instead. It’s like it has a mind of its own! Just the other day at a family gathering, I aimed at my cousin and somehow captured my own surprised face mid-laugh. Anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon?

It’s like the camera knows you’re the real star — > at a family gathering, I aimed at my cousin and somehow captured my own surprised face mid-laugh. I’ve had my share of those! Why not try switching to manual or burst mode next time?

I’ve totally been there! Sometimes I think my camera’s more into me than my friends. Ever tried using a timer to avoid that? :selfie:.
