      Start taking better photos with your iPhone! I remember my first phone. It had a cord attached and was shaped like a popular animated character. You didn't surf the Internet on it. You didn't send text messages. You didn't check your email. And you definitely didn't take pictures on it! Times have changed, haven't they? Most people probably don't even have a camera that's not attached to their phones. iPhons don't match the quality of a DSLR camera-but they're certainly coming close. This book won't teach you how to be the next Ansel Adams, but it will teach things you probably never knew about the camera and photo app. Inside, I'll show you how to: Take and edit photos Organize photos Use different photo modes and lenes Use photographic styles And much more. If you are ready to get the most out of your iPhone camera, then read on! Note: this book is based off of the iPhone 14 Pro, which has photo features (notably ProRes) that are not available on other iPhones. I will point out when a feature might not work on your phone.
