Photos On Your iPhone
I don’t know about you, but I often find it useful to be able to take the odd photo while I’m out and about. The thing is I don’t want to have to carry a separate phone and digital camera all the time. Many phones that already have a camera built in are just not that good. This isn’t the case though for the iPhone 3GS. With a 3 Megapixel camera that has autofocus and an application for photos that makes sharing your shots simple, this has got to be the ideal phone for taking photos whenever a worthwhile opportunity arises.
Cameras in general are not that difficult to use these days, so you would expect your iPhone on Orange to have a camera that is also easy to use. Well, it does. All you have to do is point the iPhone in the general direction of the event you want to snap, and then tap the screen to take the shot. Your pictures are then added the iPhone Camera Roll for easy access. As with so many of the other iPhone applications, if you rotate the iPhone by 90 degrees, then you can enjoy your images in landscape mode. Just pinch with your fingers, or double tap an image and you can zoom in or out. Like the picture you have taken so much that it is worthy of being your phones wallpaper? You can easily do that too! One of the best bits about this camera that you don’t get with others is the geotagging of your photos. Yes, that’s right, when you come back to view your images at a later date, the iPhone 3GS can give you details of where they were taken. How cool 
is that!?
The camera does have autofocus, but if you find that it is focusing on something other than what you want to take a picture of, then you can tap the area you want to be in focus and the iPhone will do the rest for you. It also has a macro lens for taking close up pictures.
If you want to share any of your photos with other people, then select the image and the iPhone 3GS will open a blank email template with the image already attached, you just need to add the recipients details and any notes, then tap to send.
If you didn’t want to email it, then you can also send via MMS. The other option you have is to upload the images to your MobileMe Gallery and your family and friends can view and download them from there.
When you synchronise your iPhone with iTunes, the images will be synchronised with Adobe Photoshop Elements and Adobe Photoshop Album if you use a PC, or in iPhoto if you use a Mac. Also, any photos on your computer will be synchronised to your iPhone so you can view them and share them wherever you are.
