iOS 7: new features and tips for the photo app

iOS 7brought
many new features and we try every day to make them
tour.

If we looked at Siri, Facetime or even
new gestures, there is an area that we have not yet addressed:
the one in the photo.

This new version of the camera brings some new features that it
Obviously you have to succeed in taming it.

This is what we will try to do today:

A new look and several accesses

Under iOS 7, the least we can say is that the device app
photo has been greatly revamped. Exit the outdated design and hello the interface
black and refined.

To be able to take advantage of this new interface, you still need to know
how to access this camera.

In this case, it is not less thanthree solutions that we have
offered.obviously, it is simply possible to look for
the icon to tap it, but that's not all. As in iOS 6, it
is also possible to access the camera from the locked screen
by lifting the bottom left corner.

Finally, it is
via the control centerthat Apple planned the third way
to quickly access the camera.

Obviously, the change doesn't stop there and Apple has plenty reserved for us
good photographic surprises.

Multiple shooting modes

With iOS 7, Apple is introducing a new shooting mode:
square mode. Made popular by apps like Instagram, the square format is
ultimately the easiest to capture and share. No need to bend or
flip the iPhone in any direction, just press

To activate this square mode and the others, simplyslide
finger anywhere on the screenin order to rotate the wheel and
to switch from one mode to another.

Obviously,other modes are available
as :

Photo: this is the classic mode, the one that we
have known us all for a long time.
Carré: to take photos in square format and
share them on social networks
Panoramic: arrival with iOS 6, the photo
panoramic continues on the iPhone. Just turn around
in order to capture the landscape in front of you. little tip, press on the
strip in the center of the screen allows you to change the direction of movement (from
right to left or left to right)
Video: this is the classic mode for capturing some videos

There existsa final mode which is only accessible on
l’iPhone 5s: slow motion mode. It is thanks to him that he is
possible to achievevideos with
the slow motion effect as we saw here.

Last little tip well nestled in the interface:the mode
rafale. On iPhone 5s as on other models, it will be enough
to press the shutter button for as long as desired so that the photos
accumulate in the film. When you raise your finger, the burst
stops instantly.

Filters

On the App Store, there are hundreds of applications offering to add
filters to photos. With iOS 7, Apple decided to enter the dance
by proposing your own filters to add before or after drawing the
photo.

To discover these filters via the camera, nothing could be simpler. He
just tap the icon at the bottom right to switch to the screen
offering to discover in real time the rendering of each filter. A press on
one of them allows you to display it in full screen.

Filters can be used in Photo or Square mode. If the ozone is
colored means a filter is applied. Otherwise, the icon is in
black and white.

Some settings

Obviously, who says photo says settings. Nothing really new on this side
although it must be admitted that it has had some adjustments. At the very top of the screen, it
it is possible to activate or not the flash, to switch from one camera to another and,
again, to activate or not the HDR mode.

Obviously and as before, a long press on the screen allows you to
lock focus. For the rest it's in the settings that you have to
surrender. Apple has placed two switches here allowing
to display or not the grid and to keep or not the original when taking a photo
HDR.

Video side

If on the video side, the main novelty of the year is on the iPhone 5s
with this famous slow motion mode, Apple still slipped new
very practical features.

The very first isthe arrival of the zoom in the mode
video. In fact, a simple pinch on the screen allows you to zoom. It is
very simple, but so practical. It is also possible to take more
easily take a photo while you are filming using a button
located in a corner. A simple press and the photos automatically stream to
the film.
