The 10 best new photography features in iOS 7
One major reason—maybe the reason—to snap up iOS 7 is the new photographic capabilities built into the Camera and Photos apps. The new features expand the range of photos you can take, and most are accessible and easy to use. iOS 7 works on the iPhone 4 and later, the iPad 2 and later, and the fifth-generation iPod touch, though you’ll see some variation in features depending on the model you have.
Shooting
1. The Camera app’s new vision: Apple completely overhauled the Camera app’s interface in iOS 7, giving it a different look, feel, and style of operation, with slick performance throughout. Using the text-based swipe interface is much easier than poking at tiny buttons, as in previous versions, and it lets you access the different camera types much more quickly and easily. Just swipe to the Photo camera and tap, and you have a picture. Do it again, and you have a video, a square image, a panorama, or (if you have the iPhone 5s) a slow-motion video.
Slo-mo (iPhone 5s only) and Square are the new cameras added to the revamped Camera app.
2. Slo-mo camera: Slow-motion videos play back to the viewer at a speed slower than the one they were shot at—we’ve all seen sports video replays where the action is slowed dramatically so you can get a better view of a brilliant play. With the iPhone 5s (but not with any other iPhone), iOS 7 lets you use one of the built-in video cameras to shoot a video and then choose which parts to slow down. Designed to capture quick-action shots, the camera shoots at 120 frames per second, but you can use built-in software to slow down the playback at the points you choose while keeping the rest at “normal” speed.
Slo-mo video shoots at 120 fps, but you can later trim the video and choose the precise portions that should be slow.
3. Bursting at the seams: Nothing is simpler or more useful than the new Camera’s burst mode. Burst mode functions here just the way it does on your DSLR. You hold down the shutter button, and the camera captures 10 frames per second. It’s a great way to catch fast, full-resolution action without having to shoot a video.
