The Compleat Apple iPhone® & iPad® Camera Guide: Useful Tips That Aren't In The Manuals

Apple iPhone and iPad cameras are among the most sophisticated available, but most people use them only for taking snapshots and selfies. Why? Because they don’t come with a camera manual or detailed instructions. This easy-to-read 55-page book makes up for this oversight. Within a few hours, readers will be showing off photos and videos they never dreamed they could be taking.

The book starts off with a two-minute, 10-question true-or-false that tests the reader’s knowledge of iPhone and iPad photo techniques. The author says if readers can score 80% they don’t need to read the book. But, he says, most experienced iPhone users are likely to score under 50%.

The book devotes a chapter to the 12 essential iPhone and iPad functions that readers NEED to know; a chapter to he six functions that are NICE to know; and a chapter to the new functions on the iPhone 6s and the iPhone 6s Plus. It concludes with chapters on the differences between the cameras on each iPhone and iPad model; when you should use conventional cameras; and what to do when you need technical assistance.

The book is written very informally. Steve Frankel is also the author of The Compleat Olympus Stylus 1s and The Compleat Olympus TOUGH TG-4 & TG-850. He is an avid travel photographer and street shooter. He has amassed more than 30,000 travel photos and traveled more than 200,000 miles on cruise ships.
