Taking Pictures

Your iPad comes with an app called Camera, which lets you take still or video images using the front- or back-facing camera. To see how to take pictures, follow these steps:

  1. From the Home screen, tap Camera. The Camera screen appears, as shown in Figure 20-1.

  2. Tap the Camera button in the upper-right corner of the screen. Tapping this button switches between the front- and back-facing cameras.

  3. Slide the Still/Video slider in the lower-right corner of the screen. When the slider appears to the left, the iPad’s cameras capture still images. When the slider appears to the right, the iPad’s cameras capture video.

  4. Tap the Record button in the bottom middle of the screen to capture a still image or start recording a video. (You will need to tap the Record button a second time to stop recording video.)

  5. Tap the Photos button in the lower-left corner of the screen to view your captured still or video images. (This is equivalent to tapping the Photos icon on the Home screen.) Tap the Done button in the Photos app when you want to return back to the Camera app.

Note

Your iPad’s camera is not very high resolution, so if you plan to print your photos, you may want to use a different camera for special occasions. The iPad’s camera is best suited for taking videos.
