you should open a picture then turn the phone sideways and see how the bar at the bottom and top now flips with the picture and is no longer sideways – add a screenshot of that
why can’t day raise the quality of the picture??? now that would be a great update.
The picture quality is a hardware problem (the camera itself), not the software on the iPhone.
It’s cool to see these little improvements.
Did they change Safari at all? My main thing is battery life. Mine sucks!
TIP: To easily take a self portrait, hold the shutter button down, turn the iPhone around, smile, then release the button to capture a picture. This is much easier that blindly searching for the button when it’s turned around. I still agree that the entire screen should be a button though.
dude nice!
that was one heck of a “tip”, I’ll be using it from now on
thanks!
Most people don’t realise that the camera takes a picture when your finger LEAVES the screen button, not touches it.
When you know this it makes taking pictures so much easier.
Try it and see.
Open the camera app, touch and hold the button.
No picture is taken.
Frame your shot.
Now release your finger and voila!. A snap.
And much less shake.
If the whole screen was used as a button there’d be many more complaints about taking shots you didn’t mean to. That’s why Apple designed it the way they did. They’ve just failed to communicate it properly.
Yes, I use this when I take pics too. Maybe an option to toggle would be nice.
I think the Iphone camera does a great job, for it being a camera phone,i have had a few pda phones and they do not compare to this iphone camera. I have taken decent pictures from a camera phone at a concert.
Thanks Pete for the tip, i never realized that, but i tried it,awesome.
But what is with the Camera Would Like To Find Your Location? This is soo annoying everytime you want to take a picture.
Thanks again everyone!
It asks your location to geotag the photo. After you say yes a few times it quits asking.
still can not zoom???
Get SNAPTURE it has many missing features… Zoom, Sepia/B&W, Multiple pics
and heaps more features
Need jailbroken iphone tho
cheers

Snapture has a lot of great features, but I’ve found it to be pretty buggy. It always seems to run out of memory and crash on me after taking a few photos. Unfortunately, it has become annoying enough that I’ve gone back to the stock camera app for the most part.
