When your quick, basic iphone tutorial has better cinematography than a feature film

I really appreciate when professionals give insight to improve the average user experience on a product as popular as the iPhone. And on top of that make it palatable and easy to digest and implement in everyday use, thank you Mr. Stalman.

Some neat features that I never knew the stock camera app contained and I’ve owned an iPhone since 2008!

Thank you, Tyler! 🙏🏻

I use Camera+ 2 App on my iPhone. It’s amazing! It has that separate focus and exposure option you mentioned about wanting in the default app.

Tyler, the quality of your videos is out of this world. 😍

What a fantastic video. Sadly I didn't know any of those settings even existed. Thanks for making this.

oh man... how did I NOT know that swiping up revealed that menu? I always used the carrot at the top which is annoying to hit precisely. Thank-you! taking a timer shot is SO much easier now.

I agree about the exposure sometimes you dont want the focus to be at the same place as where you want to raise the exposure, but the good thing as you showed there is a + / - icon in the camera app in the tools menu like you showed, exept for older iphone models they dont have that option, on them you will have to press the screen and swipe up like you showed first. But the exposure option is great for when you take photos against a bright background or sky or against the sun to give it more light or else your image will often be a little dark, specially when shooting against the sun.

Yes love this style of video Tyler! Very fun change of pace to have you out of the studio.

[matthewTobrien]

Long exposure setting? Hidden menu where the camera modes are? I thought I knew this app in and out - apparently not. Great guide vid, Tyler!
