About Camera
With iPhone, you have a great still camera and video camera (iPhone 3GS or later)
wherever you go. iPhone 4 has a main camera that takes photos and high-denition
video, an LED ash for photos and videos taken with the main camera, and a front
camera that lets you make FaceTime video calls and take photos and videos of yourself.
The main camera is on the back of iPhone. You use the screen to control the camera
and to see the photo or video you’re taking. Tap-to-focus lets you tap anywhere on
the screen to focus on a specic object or area of your shot and automatically adjust
the exposure. The macro autofocus feature (about 10 cm) and a 5x digital zoom let
you take great close-ups. (The video and tap-to-focus features are available only on
iPhone 3GS or later.)
If location services is turned on, photos and videos (iPhone 3GS or later) are tagged
with location data—including your current geographical coordinates provided by
GPS, Wi-Fi, or cell-tower information. You can use location data with some apps and
photo-sharing websites to track and post where you took the photos. For example, the
Photos app organizes photos by places.
Note: If location services is turned o when you open Camera, you may be asked to
turn it on. If you don’t want to include location data with your photos and videos,
you can use Camera without turning on location services. See “Location Services” on
page 200.
