Why Use an iPad to Take Photos?

• Some people may prefer a tablet to a smartphone when taking pictures. For example, a tablet provides a larger screen for previewing the resulting photograph. If a person has poor eyesight, this can help when taking photos — it’s easier than squinting at a tiny screen. For some people who need the larger previews, a tablet may be the ideal digital camera.

• On a tablet, you can also easily begin editing and working with the photos immediately after you take them.

• The 5MP camera on iPad is the perfect way to capture those spontaneous moments

• Because iPad records in full 1080p HD, videos look fantastic when played back on the Multi-Touch screen, or even a TV.

How To Take Pictures with your iPad: The Basics

The iPad comes with two cameras that allow you to capture photos and videos.

• Front facing camera allows you to take a ‘Selfie’ and for talking to others using facetime. This camera utilizes 1.2-megapixels with 720p for video, and at 30 frames per second (fps).

• Backfacing camera allows you to take still photos or videos. This camera has five-megapixels, 2,582x1,944 resolution, and records in 1080p video at 30 fps.

How To Take Pictures with your iPad: The Basics

• iPad 4 Cameras, Photos, and Video Recording Specifications– FaceTime HD Camera

• 1.2MP photos• 720p HD video• FaceTime video calling over Wi-Fi or cellular4

• Face detection (is a function of the camera that detects human faces so that the camera can set the focus and appropriate exposure for the shot automatically. When using a flash, face detection will also usually and automatically correct or remove the unwanted red-eye effect that can often occur when photographing people using a flash).

• Backside illumination• Tap to control exposure for video or still images• Photo and video geotagging (to use a GPS to log the location of the

photograph and then add that information either automatically or manually to the photo. Info may include bearing, altitude, distance and place names)

3. Adjust the zoom. By default, your camera is zoomed all the way out. You can zoom in by spreading two fingers apart on the screen. This will bring up the zoom slider at the bottom of the screen, which you can use for more fine-tuned control.

4. Switch cameras. Your iPad comes with two cameras: one on the back and one facing front. Tap the "camera" icon in the upper-right corner of the screen to switch between the front- and rear-facing cameras. The front camera is great for selfies, and FaceTime because you can see yourself when you take the picture

5. Take a picture. In the bottom right corner of the screen, you will see three words: "Video", "Photo", and "Square". Ensure that "Photo" is selected by swiping the list. Press the large, white Circle icon to take the picture.

– If you want to take a square photo instead of a rectangular one, select the "Square" option.

– Keep the iPad steady while taking your picture. The camera takes a moment to process the picture, and moving the iPad can lead to a blurry shot.

How To Take A Video with your iPad: The Basics

Follow Steps 1 -4• Record a video. Swipe the list in the corner to select

"Video". The white Circle icon will change to red and a timer will appear above it. Press the red button to begin recording. When you are finished recording, press the red button again, which has changed into a square.– If you're planning on sharing your video, try to keep it

under 30 seconds. Long videos are very large and will take a long time to upload and download.

– Avoid quick movements while recording video. The iPad does not record at a very high quality, and too much motion can make the video hard-to-watch and blurry.

Record a Video

Preview and Share your Photos or Video: The Basics

• Once you have taken a photo or video, it will appear in the small preview box in the lower-right corner. Tap the box to open the photo or video in your Camera Roll. You can share it from here by tapping the Share button (a box with the arrow coming out of the top) in the lower-left corner.– You can delete your photo or video by tapping the trash can icon in

the lower-right corner.• Send photos and videos from your Photos library (contains

photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync/transfer process).

• Tap the camera icon Recent shots are right there; tap Photo Library for older ones. Select the items you want to send.

• Your photos and videos are saved to your Camera Roll, which can be accessed at any time by opening the Photos app. You can browse through your images sorted by date, and create albums to organize them.

Apple Photo and Video Apps

1. Photos app : lets you view the photos and videos:

– Taken with iPad– Stored in iCloud– Shared from others – Synced from your computer with iTunes– Saved from an email, text message, webpage, or

Apple Photo and Video Apps: Photos App • The Photos app includes tabs for Photos, Shared, and Albums.• Tap Photos to see all your photos and videos, organized by Years,

Collections, and Moments. To quickly browse the photos in a collection or year, touch and hold for a moment, then drag.

• Tap Shared to see photos and videos you’ve shared with others or that others have shared with you.

• Tap Albums to see how photos and videos are organized into albums on your iPad.

• View all your photos and videos. By default, Photos displays a representative subset of your photos when you view by year or by collection. To see all your photos, go to Settings > Photos & Camera, then turn off Summarize Photos.

Selecting Photos from the Photos App

2. Apple Photo and Video Apps: Photo Stream • An Overview of Photo Stream

– Photo Stream lets you view all your recent photos on your devices without having to sync—all you have to do is turn it on.• Note: You must have an iCloud account to use Photo Stream.

– How Photo Stream works:• First, set up Photo Stream on any device that you want to be

part of your Photo Stream.• Then, take a photo with your iOS device, or import some

photos from your digital camera to your Mac, iPad, or Windows computer.

• Photo Stream automatically uploads the photos to iCloud photo stream server and then downloads them to your other devices (via Wi-Fi network or Ethernet).

How Photo Stream Works

How Photo Stream Works• The photos appear in your Photo Stream on each device: in the Photos app on

your iOS devices, in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, or in the Pictures folder on a Windows computer.

• Photo Stream is totally automatic, but if you have a Mac, you can choose to turn off automatic uploading when you set up Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture. This can be useful if you regularly import very large numbers of photos.

• iCloud stores your new photos for 30 days so your devices have plenty of time to connect and download the photos. Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos, and you can save your favorite shots to your Camera Roll or any other album to keep them on your device permanently. Because your computers have more storage, they can keep all your Photo Stream photos.– Photos in My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days. To

save or back up these photos, you must save them from My Photo Stream to your iOS device. Select the photos and choose Share > Save Image. You can then back up your photos using iCloud or iTunes.

How Photo Stream Works• What happens to my photos if I turn off My Photo Stream?• If you sign out of iCloud or turn off My Photo Stream on an iOS

device, all the photos in the My Photo Stream album are removed from that device. Any photos from My Photo Stream that were imported to the Recently Added album and the Photos tab will also be removed. The photos from My Photo Stream on your other devices aren't affected. Photos from My Photo Stream are saved on the iCloud server for 30 days from the date you uploaded them to My Photo Stream. If you sign in to iCloud with the same Apple ID and turn on My Photo Stream on another device, those photos will automatically download to this device.

• Before turning off My Photo Stream, it's a good idea to save any photos that you'd like to keep to your device.

PhotoStream vs Camera Roll

• Photo stream: connects and shares all your photos to your iCloud devices that you have set up automatically when you're connected to wifi. For example. I take a photo wih my Nikon and put it on my computer. I have photo stream set up so it shows up on my phone too. I take a picture with my phone and it shows up on my iPhoto on my Mac as well. I can then import them into my home Mac hard drive through iPhoto.

• Camera roll: photos you took on your phone or saved to your camera roll through photo apps, from emails, or from the webIf you select "albums" under your photos you'll see camera roll and photo stream. If you have stream set up there will be more photos overall in that but it should include the photos from your camera roll.

3. PhotoboothTake a photo with Photo Booth and spice it up with effects

Tap center image to return to normal

Photo Booth• Take a photo. Aim iPad and tap the shutter button.• Select an effect. Then tap the effect you want.• Change a distortion effect: Drag your finger across

the screen.• Alter a distortion: Pinch, swipe, or rotate the image.• What have you done? Tap the thumbnail of your last

shot. To display the controls again, tap the screen.• Switch between cameras. Tap at the bottom of

the screen

4. Apple Photo and Video Apps: iCloud Photo Library (beta)

• Allows users to use iCloud storage space for managing a single photo library across multiple devices

• iCloud Photo Library is an extension of iCloud Drive that can store every photo and every video you take from all of your iOS devices. This improves on Photo Stream by keeping the photos in the cloud, so you don't have to use up storage on your iPad or iPhone to have access to photos across all devices. It also removes Photo Stream's limitation of only keeping recent photos. iCloud Photo Library will store all of your photos, whether they were taking last week or last year.

• Once turned on, iCloud Photo Library is automatic, so you no longer need to hassle with transferring your photos to another device to free up space on your iPad or iPhone. The photos are stored in collections based on the date and location they were taken. You can also mark favorite and create custom albums.

• iCloud Photo Library, in beta, stores every photo and video you take, making them accessible from your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

• When you edit a picture using Photos in iOS 8, your changes are immediately uploaded to iCloud and visible on other devices

• iCloud Photo Library keeps your photos and videos organized into Moments, Collections, and Years across all your iOS devices — and even on the web. You can mark favorites, create albums, or drag photos into a custom order whether you’re on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch.

4. Apple Photo and Video Apps: iCloud Photo Library (beta)

• iCloud Photo Library helps you make the most of the space available on your iOS device by automatically storing the original high-resolution photos and videos in iCloud and leaving behind the lightweight version that are perfectly sized for each device. You get 5GB of iCloud storage free, and other storage plans start at $0.99 per month.

• Cloud Photo Library works seamlessly with the new Photos app to keep your photos and videos stored in iCloud and up-to-date across all your iOS devices.

• iCloud Photo Library is available with the new Photos app for iOS 8.1 or later. You can also access your entire library from any Mac or PC at iCloud.com/photos.

• After you enable iCloud Photo Library, all your original photos and videos are organized in one library. My Photo Stream will upload recent photos to share with your other devices, but iCloud Photo Library stores your originals

• Apple offers 5GB of iCloud storage for free, and your standard Photo Stream images don’t count against your 5GB of free storage. If you decide to upgrade to iCloud Photo Library, though, your uploaded images and videos will count against your free 5GB of storage—and if you exceed the limit, you’ll need to pay up, with storage plans starting at 99 cents a month for 20GB of iCloud space.

iCloud Photo Library (beta): How to Activate• Once you activate iCloud Photo Library on your iPhone or

iPad, you’ll notice that the Photo Stream album on your device will disappear. The idea seems to be that iCloud Photo Library—which permanently stores your entire photo library in iCloud—is taking the place of Photo Stream, which only stores your most recent snapshots.

• Keep in mind, though, that if you change your mind and decide to deactivate iCloud Photo Library, your revived Photo Stream may only include a handful of recent images.

• If you do end up abandoning iCloud Photo Library, you’ll be able to download all your stored images and videos to your iPhone or iPad first.

iCloud Photo Library (beta): How to Activate• On your iPhone and/or iPad, tap Settings, Photos & Camera.• Flip the “iCloud Photo Library (Beta)” switch at the top of the screen. When you

do, the photo library on your device will automatically be uploaded to iCloud, and any new snapshots or videos will be uploaded automatically (over Wi-Fi only, it should be said).

• Next, you’ll get the chance to decide whether to store “device-optimized” images and videos on your iPhone or iPad—that is, lower-resolution copies that’ll take up less “local” storage on your device. Tap “Optimize iPad Storage if that sounds good. Don’t like that idea? Then select “Download and Keep Originals.”

• To Check out your photo library on the web. Go to any web browser on a Mac or PC, visit icloud.com, enter your iCloud username and password, then click the Photos icon.

• And there you go—all your photo library images and videos, organized by “Moments” (with photos grouped according to when and where you took them) and Albums.

• Select an image and click the Download button at the top of the page to save the picture to your desktop. Want to save everything? Click “Select Photos,” click on the first image, scroll all the way down, SHIFT + click on the very last image, then click Download.

Organize Photos and Videos• The Album tab includes albums you create and several default albums, depending on which Photos features you use.

Videos are automatically added to the Videos album, for example. You see a My Photo Stream album if you use that feature (see My Photo Stream, next). If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, you have an All Photos album, which includes all your photos and videos in iCloud (see iCloud Photo Library beta on page 79); if you don’t use iCloud Photo Library beta, the Camera Roll album includes photos and videos you took with iPad or saved to iPad from other sources.

• Note: If you use iCloud Photo Library beta, albums are stored in iCloud and are up to date and accessible on any iOS 8.1 device using the same Apple ID. See iCloud Photo Library beta on page 79.

• Create a new album. Tap Albums, tap , enter a name, then tap Save. Select photos and videos to add to the album, then tap Done.

• Add items to an existing album. While viewing thumbnails, tap Select, select items, tap Add To, then select the album.

• Manage albums. While viewing your album list, tap Edit.– Rename an album: Select the album, then enter a new name.– Rearrange albums: Touch , then drag the album to another location.– Delete an album: Tap X

• With iCloud Photo Library beta, you can manage all your albums from any iOS 8.1 device set up with iCloud Photo Library beta.

• Mark your favorites. While viewing a photo or video, tap to automatically add it to the Favorites album. A photo can be part of another album as well as Favorites.

• Hide photos you want to keep but not show. Touch and hold a photo, then choose Hide. The photo is moved to the Hidden album. Touch and hold a hidden photo to Unhide it.

• Remove a photo or video from an album. Tap the photo or video, tap , then tap Delete Photo. The photo is removed from the album and from the Photos tab.
