Tips And Tricks For iPhoneography

With every new release of the iPhone, the camera hardware gets more advanced. The original iPhone and iPhone 3G had a built-in 2.0 megapixel fixed focus camera on the back of the phone. The iPhone 3GS has a 3.2 megapixel camera, and was the first iPhone version to support video without a jailbreak. The iPhone 4 introduced a 5.0 megapixel camera with LED flash, and is capable of recording at 720p resolution, which is considered high-definition. The iPhone 4 also added a front-facing VGA camera capable of recording SD video.

The camera on the iPhone 4s was one of the biggest selling points over prior versions. It is capable of recording 1080p resolution video with an 8.0 megapixel camera. For all iPhones running iOS 5, the camera is available from the lockscreen, and pictures can be taken by pressing the volume up button.
