About Camera
With iPad, you have a great still camera and video camera wherever you go. iPad has a
back camera that takes photos and high-definition video, and a front camera that lets
you make FaceTime video calls and take photos and videos of yourself.
Use the screen to control the back camera and to see the photo or video you’re
taking. You can tap anywhere on the screen to select a specific object or area, and
automatically adjust the exposure based on that part of the image. Autofocus (up to
about 4 inches or 10 cm) and a 5x digital zoom let you take great close-ups.
If you have an Internet connection and location services is turned on, photos and
videos are tagged with location data. You can use location data with some apps and
photo-sharing websites to track and post where you took the photos. For example, the
Photos app organizes photos by location.
Note: If location services is turned off when you open Camera, you may be asked to
turn it on. If you don’t want to include location data with your photos and videos,
you can use Camera without turning on location services. See “Location Services” on
page 153.
