Your iPhone takes great photos, but you can always improve them. For example, you can control the exposure, take more time to compose before you hit the shutter, and make better use of the tools available to you.
In fact, you could take a crash course in iPhoneography right now.
How to Launch and Use the iPhone Camera
You can use the shortcut in the bottom-right corner of the iOS Lock screen to launch the camera. Either press hard and release the icon (if you have an iPhone with 3D Touch) or swipe upward. You can also launch the camera via Control Center or ask Siri to launch it for you.
When the camera opens, you see all the available features at the top of the screen (as shown below).
From left to right these are:
- Flash: Choose between Auto, On, or Off.
- Live Photos: Tap the yellow icon to capture Live Photos alongside your still shots. Live Photos capture a small amount of video and audio when you press the shutter.
- Timer: Choose three or 10 seconds or Off.
- Filters: You can preview filters while you shoot. You can also disable them in postproduction if you want.
At the bottom of the screen are the various modes in which you can shoot. If you leave your camera settings in the default, it resets to Photo mode every time you relaunch the Photos app.
You can swipe left or right to access the following modes:
- Photo: Still photos with the option of Live Photos.
- Video: Shoot videos at the quality stated in the Camera settings.
- Time-Lapse: This is an automatic time-lapse mode that shoots still images at “dynamic intervals” to create time-lapse videos.
- Slo-Mo: Record slow-motion video at the quality stated in the Camera settings.
- Portrait: Devices with more than one camera can use this mode to add depth-of-field and lighting effects to portraits and other objects.
- Square: Capture square-format images.
- Pano: Shoot panoramic images by moving your phone horizontally. Your device automatically stitches the images together.
At the bottom of the screen, you see the shutter button (white for stills, red for video). There’s also a shortcut to the last photo you took in the Camera Roll at the bottom left, and a button to switch to the front-facing camera at the bottom right.
