It&#8217;s a good idea to add the Camera icon to the dock at the bottom of the screen. This makes it easy to find, allowing you to open the camera as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24593\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Add it to the dock by tapping and holding the Camera icon until it starts to jiggle. Drag it to the dock at the bottom of the screen, then tap <strong>Done<\/strong> (or press the Home button on older iPhones).<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re using an app and suddenly want to take a photo, you don&#8217;t have to close the app to get back to the Home screen.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, open the Control Center by swiping down from the top right. (On older iPhones, swipe up from the bottom of the screen.)<\/p>\n<p>In the Control Center, tap the Camera icon and you&#8217;re ready to shoot!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24592\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These iPhone camera tricks allow you to start shooting in only a second or two. So you&#8217;ll always be ready to shoot when a great photo opportunity arises.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Grid\">2. Switch On The Camera Grid For Better Compositions<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know you can display a grid on the iPhone camera screen? This is an amazing tool for helping you compose your photos.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24559\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>It ensures you get horizons level in your <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/composition-landscapes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">landscape photos<\/a>. And you can use it to compose your shot according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/rule-of-thirds-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">rule of thirds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The rule of thirds is a classic <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-photo-composition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">composition technique<\/a>. It states that your photo will look more pleasing if you position your subject or horizon off-center.<\/p>\n<p>Use the grid to position the horizon along one of the horizontal gridlines. Or place your subject at one of the intersections where the lines meet.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24558\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>To turn on the camera grid, open the <strong>Settings<\/strong> app, select <strong>Camera<\/strong>, and make sure the <strong>Grid<\/strong> option is on (green).<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24560\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you switch on the grid, the leveling tool is also activated. This tool helps you take perfectly level photos when shooting straight up or down.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s ideal for <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/still-life-composition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">still life flat-lays<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/food\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">food photography<\/a> where you&#8217;re shooting from above. And it&#8217;s useful if you want to shoot straight up above you.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24574\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>If you point your iPhone straight up or straight down, you&#8217;ll see a pair of crosshairs in the middle of the screen. These crosshairs will merge into a single yellow cross when the phone is parallel with the ground or ceiling.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Focus &amp; Exposure\">3. Set Focus &amp; Exposure For High-Quality Images<\/h2>\n<p>Here are two of the most important iPhone camera features to master:<\/p>\n<p>Focus and exposure.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24576\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Making sure your subject is in sharp focus is really important. If the subject appears blurred, your photo will look like an amateur snapshot.<\/p>\n<p>Exposure refers to the brightness of your image. If it&#8217;s under-exposed (too dark) or over-exposed (too bright) it won&#8217;t look good.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24589\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>So how do you set focus and exposure in the Camera app?<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s actually very easy. But most people don&#8217;t know about these hidden iPhone camera features.<\/p>\n<p>To <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/focus-tips\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">set the focus point<\/a>, tap the area on the screen that you\u2019d like in sharp focus. This would usually be your main subject. When focus is set, you\u2019ll see a yellow square indicating the focus point.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24557\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set focus, you can adjust exposure (brightness) if necessary.<\/p>\n<p>To adjust exposure, swipe up or down on the screen. Swipe up to make the image brighter or down to make it darker.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24556\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can also l<a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/ae-af-lock\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ock the focus and exposure settings using the AE\/AF Lock feature<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Tap and hold the screen for a couple of seconds at the point you want to focus on. A yellow box with <strong>AE\/AF LOCK<\/strong> will appear at the top of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24584\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now when you take a photo, the camera will keep the current focus and exposure settings ready for the next shot.<\/p>\n<p>This is useful for situations where you want to take several photos of the same scene. It means you don&#8217;t have to set focus and exposure for each new shot.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24578\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p>To unlock focus and exposure, tap anywhere on the camera screen.<\/p>\n<p>Knowing how to use iPhone camera features such as focus and exposure will really take your photos to the next level.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Burst Mode\">4. Use Burst Mode For Incredible Action Shots<\/h2>\n<p>Most people only discover <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/iphone-burst-mode\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">burst mode<\/a> by accident when they press the shutter button for too long. By holding down the shutter button, you can take a burst of many photos in quick succession.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the best iPhone camera tricks you can use when <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/moving-subjects\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">photographing moving subjects<\/a>. It makes it easy to capture the perfect action shot as you&#8217;re bound to get at least one great photo in the sequence.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24577\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Burst mode is perfect when there&#8217;s movement or unpredictability in the scene. Use it for sports photography, street photography, and action photography.<\/p>\n<p>Use it when <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/children-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">photographing children<\/a> or animals who won&#8217;t keep still. And use it to capture stunning water splashes or crashing waves.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24566\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Frame your shot, then hold down the shutter button while the subject moves through the scene.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24588\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve shot a burst of images, you can choose the best photos and delete the rest.<\/p>\n<p>To select the photos you want to keep, open the\u00a0<strong>Photos\u00a0<\/strong>app and tap on the burst you just shot.\u00a0Then tap\u00a0<strong>Select<\/strong> at the bottom of the screen.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/25246\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Scroll across to view all of the images from the burst. Select the photos you want to keep, then tap\u00a0<strong>Done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, burst mode is one of the best iPhone camera settings you can use for photographing moving subjects.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Long Exposure\">5. Create Stunning Long Exposures With Live Photos<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know you can <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/live-photos-long-exposure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">take beautiful long exposure photos with the iPhone&#8217;s built-in Camera app<\/a>?<\/p>\n<p>The long exposure feature lets you create a slow shutter effect. This makes any movement appear as motion blur.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24564\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>You can use this setting to create a stunning veiling effect on waterfalls and rivers. Or use it to capture dramatic light trails at night.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24565\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So where is this long exposure setting hidden?<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll actually find it within the <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/live-photos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Live Photos feature<\/a> of the Camera app.<\/p>\n<p>First, you&#8217;ll need to switch on <strong>Live Photos<\/strong> using the circles icon at the top of the Camera app.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24594\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"320\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>When you tap the shutter button, you&#8217;ll record a 3-second Live Photo complete with movement and sound.<\/p>\n<p>To turn the Live Photo into a long exposure, swipe up to access the Live Photo Effects. Swipe across the effects and select <strong>Long Exposure<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24575\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Any movement in your Live Photo will appear as motion blur, while stationary objects remain sharp.<\/p>\n<p>If you change your mind, you can remove the long exposure effect by selecting <strong>Live<\/strong> in the Effects section.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"Portrait Mode\">6.

Use HDR To Capture More Color &amp; Detail In Your Photos<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/hdr-iphone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">HDR<\/a> stands for High Dynamic Range. And it&#8217;s one of the best iPhone camera features for creating perfect exposures in tricky light conditions.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24591\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>HDR lets you capture more color and detail in both the dark and bright areas of your photo. It&#8217;s perfect for high contrast scenes, such as a landscape with a bright sky and dark foreground.<\/p>\n<p>Without HDR, the sky is likely to be over-exposed. Or the foreground might be under-exposed.<\/p>\n<p>In the photo below you can see the foreground is correctly exposed. But the sky has over-exposed areas that are far too bright.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24567\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Using HDR lets you create a more balanced exposure with detail in both the dark and bright areas.

So if you want to shoot an HDR photo, ensure the icon doesn&#8217;t have a line through it.<\/p>\n<p>Now all you have to do is compose your shot and press the\u00a0shutter button.<\/p>\n<p>The camera works behind the scenes to create a balanced exposure.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24587\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>How does it do this?<\/p>\n<p>When you press the shutter, the camera actually takes several photos at different exposures (from bright to dark). It then combines these different exposures into a single photo with good exposure throughout.<\/p>\n<p>It sounds complicated&#8230; but remember, the camera does all this behind the scenes. All you have to do is switch on HDR and shoot!<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Volume Buttons\">8. Take Photos With The Volume Buttons<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that pressing the on-screen shutter button isn&#8217;t the only way to take a photo?<\/p>\n<p>You can also use the volume buttons on the side of your phone.<\/p>\n<p>This is useful if you&#8217;re holding your iPhone in horizontal orientation as shown below.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24583\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>With your phone in this position, it can be awkward to press the shutter button on the screen.<\/p>\n<p>Using the volume buttons means you can hold your phone steady with both hands while pressing the button with your index finger. This makes your iPhone feel more like a traditional camera.<\/p>\n<p>The one downside of this method is that you have to press the volume button quite hard. This might cause your phone to move, resulting in a blurry photo. So make sure you hold your iPhone really steady.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"Headphones\">9. Shoot Discreetly Using Your Apple Headphones<\/h2>\n<p>Another little-known iPhone photography trick is to use your Apple headphones as a shutter release. Connect them to your phone, then use either of the volume buttons on the headphones to take a photo.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full aligncenter ip-cdn\" src=\"https:\/\/images.iphonephotographyschool.com\/24585\/1120\/iPhone-Camera-Features.jpg\" alt=\"iPhone Camera Features\" width=\"560\" height=\"auto\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This method is great when you want to be discreet while taking photos.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/iphonephotographyschool.com\/street-photos-of-strangers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">street photography<\/a>.

Record The Location Of Your Photos (And View Them On A Map!)<\/h2>\n<p>Did you know that your iPhone can record the location every time you take a photo?<\/p>\n<p>This means you&#8217;ll always know where you took a particular picture.<\/p>\n<p>In the Photos app, you can search for images based on location. And you can even view your photos on a map.<\/p>\n<p>You can turn <strong>Location Services<\/strong> on or off by going to <strong>Settings<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Privacy<\/strong> &gt; <strong>Location Services<\/strong>.
