Taking Photos and Video on Your iPhone
Taking Photos and Video on Your iPhone

So you're the proud owner of an iPhone! Whether it's an original iPhone model or a 3G, 3GS or the iPhone 4, you need a good understanding of what the various parts are, what they can do, and how you use them.

The first chapter gives you an overview of the iPhone interface to get you comfortable with your iPhone. I show you the differences among the iPhone versions for getting around in the Camera app, shooting video with your phone, and importing and syncing your photographs. Additionally, I introduce you to the wonderful world of geotagging.

All the reading and researching in the world isn't going to make you proficient in using the iPhone camera. You need to get your feet wet, so to speak, and that's what Chapter 2 is all about. I guide you in the best way to take photos with the iPhone and have you actually take one. After you understand the essentials, I take you on a tour of the Photos application on your iPhone.

In Chapter 3, I crank things up a notch and look at using the iPhone camera to take video. I cover the basics of capturing video, editing video on the iPhone itself, and sharing your videos with friends and family.
