What Composition Coach Does

Composition Coach activates with Pose Match and uses your detected body position to analyze framing. It overlays rule-of-thirds gridlines and shows headroom indicators — telling you if you have too much or too little space above your head. It also checks if you're centered or positioned along the power lines of the frame.

✓ Good headroom ← Eye line on ⅓ ✓ On power point Composition Coach — Rule of thirds + headroom

How to Use It

Step 1
Activate Comp Coach
Open Feature Hub and tap 📐 Comp Coach. It automatically enables Pose Match if it isn't already running — the body tracking data feeds the composition analysis.
Step 2
Position yourself in frame
Watch the gridlines and headroom indicators. Adjust your position (or ask your photographer to adjust the camera angle) until the composition guides show good framing.
Step 3
Capture with professional framing
When Comp Coach shows green indicators, your framing is solid. Capture the shot.

Composition Rules It Applies

Rule of thirds — your body should align with the vertical third lines, not dead center (unless it's a headshot). Headroom — there should be a small amount of space above your head, not a huge gap or cutting off the top of your head. Eye line — your eyes should roughly align with the upper third line for the most natural-looking composition.

FAQ

Does it require Pose Match?
Yes — Composition Coach uses body tracking data from Pose Match to analyze your position in the frame.
What if I want a centered shot?
Center framing works great for headshots and symmetrical poses. Comp Coach is a guide, not a requirement — use your judgment.
Does it work for selfies?
Yes — headroom and eye-line guidance are especially useful for selfies where framing mistakes are common.
Can I turn off the grid?
Toggling off Comp Coach in the Feature Hub removes the overlay and composition hints.
