Chapter 12 Camera 84

HDR

HDR (High Dynamic Range) helps you get great shots in high-contrast situations. iPod touch

takes multiple photos in rapid succession, at dierent exposure settings—and blends them

together. The resulting photo has better detail in the bright and midtone areas.

Use HDR. (iSight camera) Tap HDR. For best results, keep iPod touch steady and avoid

subject motion.

Keep the normal photo and the HDR version. Go to Settings > Photos & Camera > Keep Normal

Photo. Both the normal and HDR versions of the photo appear in Photos. HDR versions of photos

in your Albums are marked with “HDR” in the corner.

View, share, and print

Photos and videos you take on iPod touch are saved in Photos. With iCloud Photo Library

enabled, all new photos and videos are automatically uploaded and available in Photos on

all your iOS 8.1 or later devices set up with iCloud Photo Library. See iCloud Photo Library on

page 76. When iCloud Photo Library is turned o, you can still collect up to 1,000 of your most

recent photos in the My Photo Stream album from your devices set up with iCloud. See My

Photo Stream on page 76.

View your photos. Tap the thumbnail image, then swipe left or right to see the photos you’ve

taken recently. Tap All Photos to see everything in the Photos app.

Tap the screen to show or hide the controls.

Get sharing and printing options. Tap . See Share from apps on page 32.

Upload photos and videos. Use iCloud Photo Library to upload photos and videos from your

iPod touch to iCloud and access them on your iOS 8.1 or later devices signed in to iCloud using

the same Apple ID. You can also upload and download your photos and videos from the Photos

app on iCloud.com. See iCloud Photo Library on page 76.
