How to use the iphone camera app the ultimate guide
A pple’s latest addition to the iPhone family, the iPhone X, comes with several new features, including a better screen, facial recognition technology and more. But mobile photographers should take note that it also includes several small but nonetheless noteworthy improvements in the camera department.
The iPhone X has a dual-lens camera, previously only available on the iPhone Plus models. This provides both a wide-angle and a telephoto lens, which both shoot 12 megapixel images. The wide angle lens will allow for an f/1.8 aperture, while the telephoto lens will have an f/2.4 aperture. The wider aperture on the telephoto lens allows for a shallower depth of field and better performance in low light situations. These should lead to portraits and close up shots that look a bit sharper and brighter.
In addition to optical improvements, dual optical image optimization will reduce motion blur on both lenses while shooting either photos or videos. The recently released iPhone Plus has image stabilization for the wide angle lens, but not the telephoto lens.
Finally, the iPhone X also comes with some camera software improvements. Apple’s Portrait Mode, which isolates a picture’s subject and artificially blurs the background, has been moved from beta to the primetime. A new feature called Portrait Lighting imitates studio lighting setups, with options for contour lighting, stage lighting and more. The lighting effects can be applied either while taking an image or after the fact. This tool is still in beta, however.
TIME put the iPhone X through the photographic paces during New York City’s annual Village Halloween Parade on Oct. 31. Take a look at Photographer Delphine Diallo’s portraits of the parade.
If the iPhone — or iPad — is the best camera you have with you, Camera has to be one of the most important apps. With it, you can capture selfies or elsies, squares or panoramas, 4K to slow motion, all with built in high dynamic range (HDR), bursts, filters, grids and more.
How to quickly access the Camera on iPhone and iPad
Unlocking your iPhone. Going to the Home screen. Tapping the Camera app. It gets you set to take a photo or video, but it’s slow. For those times when you’re in a hurry, when something unexpected, sudden, and marvelous happens, there’s faster camera access. From the Lock screen, from Control Center, with Hey Siri, and with 3D Touch, you can get to the camera more quickly than ever.
How to take photos, bursts, and panoramas with your iPhone or iPad
With the Camera app app for iPhone and iPad, you can take photos. You can also take flash photos, high dynamic range photos, timer photos, and selfies. You can even use the volume buttons or a headset remote to trigger the shutter. All that, and more, with just a few taps.
How to take and share Live Photos on your iPhone or iPad
Live Photos aren’t video, but a full-on 12-megapixel photo that animates 1.5 seconds of motion before and after the still. You can take them with an iPhone 6s or iPhone 6s Plus, iPhone SE or 9.7-inch iPad Pro, and play them back with 3D Touch or a long-press on any iOS device. All you have to do is learn how!
How to lock focus, bias exposure, enable grid, and geo-locate with Camera for iPhone or iPad
The Camera app on your iPhone or iPad is simple but powerful. It can automatically focus and refocus, expose and re-expose, on whatever part of the image you like. You can even bias the exposure with a swipe. If you want to better frame your shots, you can turn on the grid. And you can turn geo-location on and off to either track your photos or protect your privacy, whatever you prefer.
How to record video, slow-mo, and time-lapse with your iPhone or iPad
Your iPhone and iPad isn’t just a still camera, it’s also a video camera. It can record standard video in up to 60 fps, and more recent models can even do 4K at up to 30 fps. You can also capture slow motion video, to see every back flip or water drip, and time lapse to watch the sun fly across the sky or a house get built in seconds. It’s all up to you!
How to use the Telephoto lens on iPhone 7/8 Plus and later
iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus, and later devices includes two additional features not found in any other iPhone: optical zoom and Portrait mode. Both are thanks to its second, 56mm-equivalent “telephoto” lens system.
How to shoot RAW and manual-mode photos
Apple provides frameworks for full manual photography, including control over focus, exposure, bias, and aperture, as well as the ability to shoot in RAW. While none of those features are available in the built-in Camera app, you can access all of them with App Store apps.
How to quickly edit and share photos and videos from the Camera app
There’s a full-blown Photos app app for all your basic post-processing needs, but if you’re in a hurry, you can do a lot right in the Camera app. With just a tap of the thumbnail, you can call up the embedded photo and video editor, tweak your shots, share them right away, or even delete them if you don’t want to keep them.
How to use the Camera on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro
With the brand new iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pros, Apple introduced some changes to the Camera app due to the new Night Mode feature, as well as the awesome new Ultra Wide camera lens. There are also a few control changes, QuickTake video, and more. It’s a bit overwhelming, but don’t worry, we have everything you need to know right here!

Learn about QuickTake, the Ultra Wide camera, and other camera features on your iPhone.
Grab a video with QuickTake
You can use QuickTake to record videos without switching out of photo mode. QuickTake is available on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later.
Hold the shutter to take a video
When you open the Camera app, you see the default photo mode. Tap the Shutter button to take a photo. Then tap the arrow to adjust options, like flash, Live Photos, timer, and more.
If you want to capture a QuickTake video, just press and hold the Shutter button .* Release the button to stop recording.
With iOS 14, you can hold one of the Volume buttons to capture a QuickTake video. If you have Use Volume Up for Burst enabled, you can use the Volume down button to capture a QuickTake video.
Slide to the right to lock recording
To keep recording video without having to hold the button, slide the Shutter button to the right, then release it. When video recording is locked, a Shutter button appears to the right. Tap the Shutter button to take a still photo during video recording. When you’re ready to stop recording, tap the record button.
Slide to the left for burst mode
Slide the Shutter button to the left and hold it to take a burst of photos, then release it to stop.
With iOS 14, you can capture photos in burst mode by pressing the Volume up button. Just go to Settings > Camera and turn on Use Volume Up for Burst.
* To take videos with customizable resolution, stereo audio, and audio zoom, switch to Video mode.
See beyond the frame
On iPhone models with the Ultra Wide (0.5x) lens, the Camera interface shows you what’s happening outside of the shot that you’re framing. This can help you decide if you need to reframe your shot or switch to a different camera lens on your iPhone for a better photo.
Automatically apply a tailored look to your photos
With Scene Detection, the camera intelligently detects what you’re taking a photo of and applies a tailored look to bring out the best qualities in the scene. To turn this feature off, go to Settings > Camera, and turn off Scene Detection.
Scene Detection is available on iPhone 12, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 12 Pro, and iPhone 12 Pro Max.
Adjust your focus and exposure
Before you take a photo, the camera automatically sets the focus and exposure, and face detection balances the exposure across many faces. With iOS 14, you can use Exposure Compensation Control to precisely set and lock the exposure for upcoming shots.
Just tap the arrow , then tap and adjust your exposure level. The exposure locks until the next time you open the Camera app.
Exposure Compensation Control is available on iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and later.
Take a mirrored selfie
With iOS 14, you can take a mirrored selfie that captures the shot as you see it in the camera frame. To turn Mirror Front Camera on, go to Settings > Camera, then turn on the setting.
The Mirror Front Camera for photo and video is available on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later. If you have an iPhone 6s to iPhone X, the setting is called Mirror Front Photos and captures photos only.
Capture photos even faster
With iOS 14, you can use Prioritize Faster Shooting to modify how images are processed — allowing you to capture more photos when you rapidly tap the Shutter button . To turn this off, go to Settings > Camera, and turn off Prioritize Faster Shooting.
Prioritize Faster Shooting is available on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later.

Webcams can be expensive and hard to find right now. On top of that, their video quality is probably worse than your iPhone’s camera. So, why not use your iPhone as a webcam for your video meetings instead? Here’s how to do it.
First, Consider Using iPhone Apps Instead
Using your iPhone as a webcam requires that you install an app on your iPhone (which must be running for it to function), and a companion app on your Windows PC or Mac. The setup is fairly simple, but there’s an even simpler alternative: native apps.
If you want a webcam to make Skype calls, chat with colleagues on Zoom or Slack, or simply catch up with friends via WhatsApp, consider just downloading the relevant iPhone app instead. These apps are purpose-built for a mobile experience, so they work great on the small screen.
If you want a hands-free experience when using your iPhone like this, invest in a cheap tripod. You can buy tripod mounts for smartphones to adapt any existing photo equipment you have. Or, you can go all-out on a GorillaPod you can attach to virtually any surface.
Apple
The main drawback of going this route is you’ll be reliant on your iPhone’s microphone and speaker. Wireless earphones, like AirPods, are the best way around this. The sound quality is passable, and you’ll be a lot easier to understand with a microphone so close to your face.
Of course, sometimes, you have to sit down at a computer. For that, nothing quite replaces a dedicated webcam. Fortunately, you can create that with your iPhone, too.
How to Use Your iPhone as a Webcam
Using your iPhone as a webcam requires that you install an app on your phone and some software on your computer. Unfortunately, your iPhone doesn’t support this functionality out of the box, so third-party software is required to get it working.
After trying several apps and reading plenty of reviews, there are two we recommend: EpocCam (Windows and Mac), and iVCam (Windows only). These are both premium products with generous free options, so you can try before you buy. The Windows versions support Windows 10, Windows 8, and Windows 7.
EpocCam for Mac and PC has three iPhone apps available. The free version has limitations, the high-definition version is $7.99, and the $19.99 version is intended for professionals who want to use multiple cameras. The free version is limited to 640 x 480 resolution and includes a watermark over the camera image.
iVCam works in a virtually identical way, but it’s only available for Windows. The iPhone app and companion software can be downloaded for free. The free version of iVCam supports HD resolutions, but also includes a watermark over the video feed you can pay to remove. You can either buy iVCam for $9.99 from the developer’s website or via a $9.99 in-app purchase.
Both of these allow you to use a wireless or USB connection. You can choose a front- or rear-facing cameras, use different lenses, and even enable the flash on your device to better light the scene. If you decide you like either app and want to unlock the full version, they’re both an excellent value (under $10) when compared with a webcam.
There’s also an app called iCam ($4.99). Unfortunately, you can’t try it before you buy it. It also relies on UPnP for a wireless connection, which might not play nicely with all routers. Another solution is NDI|HX Camera, a free app for video producers. However, it’s a little more complicated than most people would like.
Whichever application you choose, you’ll have to leave it open and running on your iPhone’s screen while using it as a webcam. After installing your application and setting up your iPhone, you’ll need to go into your video-conferencing application’s settings. Here, select the virtual webcam as the webcam input device.
Tips for Using an iPhone as a Webcam
A wired connection will always fare better than wireless. If you want the most reliable webcam solution, ditch wireless, and opt for a USB connection. Both of our chosen apps support a rock-solid USB connection. Unless you’re walking around the house while chatting, Wi-Fi makes little sense here.
If you want to use your iPhone as a webcam, you’ll also need a way to keep it still. The best solution is a smartphone tripod, or tripod mount if you already have a tripod to use.
GorillaPods are perfect for this because you can mount them virtually anywhere. The Joby GripTight ONE is a solid little tripod mount for smartphones that attaches and detaches almost instantly. The GripTight PRO 2 (shown below) comes with an appropriately sized GorillaPod in the box. If you’re in a pinch, you can also make your own smartphone tripod mount using binder clips.
Joby
Both apps allow you to use the rear-facing camera, which is something you definitely should do. Not only can you use the flash if required, but the rear-facing cameras on an iPhone are vastly superior to the selfie cam. If your iPhone has multiple lenses, you can choose between those, as well. However, we recommend sticking to the regular wide (not ultrawide or telephoto) lens for a more flattering focal length.
You can use both EpocCam and iVCam to capture audio, but you probably shouldn’t. Headphones are fine, but a proper desk microphone will sound 10 times better. You might also want to adjust your desk lamp before you jump on a call to make sure you don’t look like a zombie.
Using your iPhone as a webcam will drain its battery. If you aren’t using a USB connection (which charges your phone as you chat), then make sure you plug it into an outlet. If your iPhone battery dies while you’re on a call, so will your video.
In the ever-changing world in which we find ourselves, connecting face-to-face with colleagues, clients, friends, and family can make a huge difference. For work purposes, don’t forget to check out the best free video-conferencing apps.

Memoji lets you enjoy fun-loving messaging and FaceTime calls with camera effects. You can create custom Memoji on your iPhone and iPad with Face ID! It lets you experiment with the looks of your avatar and craft multiple Memoji that get along nicely with different conversations. Let us get started and see how to create, use, and manage Memoji on iPhone and iPad Pro.
What is Memoji?
Memoji is a personalized version of Animoji that you can create according to your liking. You can choose skin tone, hair type, eyebrows, glasses, eye color, and more to create your avatar. Memoji on iOS 13 and iPadOS also become sticker packs that you can use from your keyboard in Messages, Mail, and other apps.
You need an iPhone with Face ID and the latest iOS to create and use animated Memoji. But you can create Memoji stickers on any iPhone or iPad that runs iOS 13 or iPadOS.
Devices that support Memoji are:
- iPhone 11 Pro Max
- iPhone 11 Pro
- iPhone 11
- iPhone XS Max
- iPhone XS
- iPhone XR
- iPhone X
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation)
- iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation)
- iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation)
- iPad Pro 11-inch
How to Create Memoji Stickers on iPhone and iPad Pro
- Launch the Messages app
- Open any conversation.
- Now, hit the Animoji icon in the menu bar
- Swipe right from left and tap on the “+” button.
- Next up, it’s time to customize your look.
Choose skin tone, freckles, hairstyle, head shape, nose, eyes, lips, ears, and more from several available options. Pick out the one that you think best represents you or the mood you are in! - When you are happy with the result, tap on Done from the top right corner to confirm.
You can make as many Memoji as you want. The process will remain the same.
How to Use Memoji in Messages on iPhone and iPad Pro
Once you have crafted a Memoji, you can use it just the way you use Animoji on your iPhone.
- Open Messages app → head to the conversation → tap on the Animoji icon.
- Select your created Memoji. You can swipe right to left to see all your Memoji
- Hit the record button and then say what you want. Finally, send the message.
You can record up to 30 seconds. Also, after you record, you may choose a different Memoji with the same recording. For this, tap the red stop button, and before sending the Memoji, swipe horizontally to choose a different Memoji. It will have the same audio and facial expressions.
How to Use Memoji in FaceTime
A compelling use case for Memoji is in FaceTime. It lets you use your preferred Memoji instead of your face during a FaceTime video call. It is fun, and you can give it a go. Here is how to use Memoji in FaceTime on iPhone and iPad Pro.
How to Use Camera Effects with Memoji
- Open Messages app → go to a conversation → tap on the camera icon.
- Tap on the effects icon at the bottom left corner of the screen
- Tap on the Animoji icon.
- Next up, select the Memoji that you want to use. The moment you choose your avatar, it will show up on the camera screen. Then, tap on the “X” to get rid of the Animoji bar.
- Up next, your character will continue to appear on the screen. Now, you can design it using filters, text, shapes, stickers, or other funny stuff you have. You can drag the shapes and other things that you add. Tap on the added character once and then the cross icon (x) to delete them. (You can also do these after you click the photo with effects.)
- When you are happy with the result, capture the image by tapping on the shutter button. Now, you can use Markup or other editing tools to fine-tune your shot. You may even change the Memoji. In the end, tap the blue arrow icon to send it.
How to Edit Memoji Stickers
- Open Messages app → Conversation → Animoji icon.
- Swipe until you find the desired Memoji
- Tap on three dots at the bottom left corner
- Next up, you have three options:
- Edit: It lets you change the looks of your avatar. Tap on it and then fine-tune it to your heart’s liking. In the end, tap on Done.
- Duplicate: It allows you to create another similar avatar. But you can design your look from the ground zero if you wished to embrace a complete change. In the end, tap on Done.
- Delete: Select this option if you don’t want to use this Memoji anymore and confirm.
Signing Off…
This is how you can use Memoji on your iPhone and iPad Pro. It is fun, and the plethora of customization options ensure that you get the look that you desire. So, are you excited to use it in your iMessage conversations and FaceTime calls? Please share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.
If you have multiple Apple devices and wish to have your Memoji on them, you need to enable two-factor authentication for your Apple ID. Also, you must be signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID on all your devices. Finally, iCloud Drive should also be turned on. (Settings app → your Apple ID banner → iCloud → enable iCloud Drive)

If you’re looking for an easy and cost-effective way to upgrade your work-from-home setup, you can use your phone to improve the video quality on video chat apps such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams and Google Meet.
Though the coronavirus vaccines are being distributed nationwide, it’s likely going to be a while before we return to our offices and social gatherings in the same way we used to. That means you’re probably still spending a lot of time talking with colleagues, family and friends through video-chat and conferencing apps such as Zoom , Microsoft Teams and FaceTime . (If you’re using Zoom, here are 15 top Zoom tips , including how to change your Zoom background .) If the webcams you’ve been eyeing are still out of stock or you just don’t want to buy a new one, you can easily use your phone’s camera and create one for yourself.
As long as the phone you use isn’t more than a few years old, image quality should be better than your laptop’s default camera, more functional and easier to position so you’re not filming your double chin or straight up your nose.
Here’s how to turn your phone into a webcam for free.
Keep track of the coronavirus pandemic.
You don’t even need a webcam app
A dedicated webcam app (more below) has special features, but you don’t have to have one to use your phone camera for video chats.
You can also just launch the app of your video chat service of choice, like Zoom, Skype or FaceTime , and chat directly through there. However, there are steps you can take to make sure that your video quality is the best it can be. Read on.
Find and download the right webcam app for Android or iPhone
There are dozens of free and paid apps that can help you transform your workhorse smartphone into a webcam.
Webcam apps for Android phones
I tried IP Webcam (free, or $4 for the Pro version), DroidCam (free, or $5 for the Pro version), and EpocCam Webcam (free, or $5 for the Pro version). DroidCam had the most clear instructions within the app, but only works with Windows or Linux machines. The same was true for IP Webcam.
Because I’m using a Mac, I went with EpocCam Webcam.
Webcam apps for iPhones
I tried out EpocCam Webcam (free, or $8 or $20 for the professional versions), iCam ($5) and iVCam (free). All were fairly easy to set up, once you find the instructional pages on their websites. EpocCam and iCam work for Windows or MacOS machines, while iVCam works for iPhone ($401 at Amazon) users who have Windows computers, not Macs. (Update: Another option is the NDI HX Camera app — it formerly cost $20 but is now free, and allows iPhones to be used as HD webcams.)
For any webcam app
Whatever you download, read the privacy policy, install it and follow the instructions to connect it to your computer (you might have to download a driver, or run it through a browser or other viewer.) You’ll be asked to give the app permission to access your camera and microphone.
Be aware
Running the app frequently may drain your phone battery, so you may want to hook up your phone to an external power bank or position your setup near a wall outlet if you find yourself in need of a charge.
Use your phone’s main camera
Your phone’s main camera will produce a higher quality image than the selfie camera, and with more options for zooming and focusing as well. The iPhone 12 , Samsung Galaxy S21 and many other premium smartphones have sharper resolution at 1080p than some of the latest MacBook models , which has a 720p webcam built in. For best results for using your phone as a webcam, use that rear camera instead of the front-facing selfie camera.
The webcam apps and video chatting apps will often allow you to select options like video resolution, quality and orientation, as well as focus, white balance and color effects.
Stabilize your phone
Avoid cramping your arm or hitting an unflattering angle by stabilizing your phone on a tripod, stand or tabletop mount. This will give you the least shaky and most professional-looking results. (CNET recommends this $37 mini-tripod from Manfrotto.)
Set up some lighting
Whether you’re working in a home office, at your kitchen table or on your bed , you’ll need some good lighting to make your face look bright, eliminate shadows and maybe hide a wrinkle or two. Consider buying a ring light. (CNET recommends this basic $30 model that comes with 36 LEDs, a clip stand and three light modes.)
Invest in a microphone
Your AirPods ($149 at Crutchfield) or other headphones with a built-in mic will get the job done, but if you’re using your new DIY webcam to record something professionally, you should invest in a good microphone. (CNET recommends this Blue Yeti USB Microphone for $130 or this Shure MV88+ Video Kit with Digital Stereo Condenser Microphone for $249.)
These tips should help you create a better home office and video conferencing setup, now that just about every meeting is a video meeting — and potentially help you find a new use for your old phone as well.
