As you swipe up or down you’ll see the sun icon move on the slider. Simply swipe up or down anywhere on the screen – up to make the image brighter or down to make it darker. Now, here comes the good bit! If your photo looks too bright or too dark, you can now adjust the exposure without changing the focus point. In the sunflowers photo above, the exposure of the image is a bit dark. However, often the exposure that the camera sets based on the focus point doesn’t look good. This is also the point that the camera has set exposure for. When you tap to set focus, a yellow square with a sun icon appears where you tapped to indicate the focus point. Start by tapping (or tapping and holding) the part of the screen that you want to set focus for – this would normally be on the main subject of the photo to ensure that it is in sharp focus. You could use other camera apps such as Camera+ to take photos with separate focus and exposure points, but now you can use the native Camera app to set the focus and then manually adjust the exposure before taking the photo. Previously, you had to set focus and exposure together, which was often frustrating as you might want to set focus for one part of the scene and exposure for another. This is a fantastic new tool which is going to make such a difference when trying to get the right exposure using the native Camera app. The updated Camera app in iOS 8 includes three new features: a manual exposure adjustment, a self-timer and a time lapse video mode. Once you’ve updated your device to iOS 8, you’ll be able to use the new photography features as shown below. Note that updating takes about 30 minutes or more, and you won’t be able to use your iPhone while the new software is installing. To update your iPhone (or iPad/iPod touch) to iOS 8, simply go to Settings > General > Software Update, then follow the on-screen instructions. IOS 8 is a free update and will be compatible with the following devices: iPhone 4s or newer, iPod touch 5th generation, iPad 2 or newer. In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to install the update and use these brand new iPhone camera features.
iOS 8 has a huge range of new features, including some exciting updates to the native Camera app and Photos app. To coincide with the launch of the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, Apple has released their new iOS 8 software update today.
