Can anyone explain why food review Youtubers do that thing where they put their hand behind the thing they're reviewing when they hold it up to the camera? Is it some kind of secret mukbang ef code?

It's so the camera focuses on the thing they are holding up and not them

blocking faces so the camera doesn't look for them and try to autofocus on them

It's to get their camera's autofocus to work correctly. But also it's because too many people are watching Quang Tran.

camera's focus on a focal point or distance, not human faces.

If it was because of not wanting the camera to focus on them, why not just take the camera and just show the item without any other visual distractions?

Cameras made for untalented zoomers automatically focus on faces because they lack any actual photography or filming ability.

because most brainlets on youtube have no clue how to properly setup a camera and just use the out of the box autofocus mode which lets the camera guess what needs to be in focus (Or in shit tier cameras, lock onto faces)

Cameras focus at a certain distance, auto-focus tries to figure out what the best distance should be, usually by just getting the greatest area of the screen in focus. Putting your hand behind the object (especially small objets) creates a greater surface area closer to the lens to force the camera to adjust its focal distance.

>that’s not how a focus works though
Smart technology dude. It's looking for faces, and autofocuses farther away from the new item held up. So temporarily putting something else new, block the other centered item, the room/the face, causes the camera(s) smart technology to pick the close item to focus upon. It lets people see something close-up such as in a live video, or to prevent some video editing later when they focus upon it and splice that in.
