Here are some useful tips for taking better photographs with an iOS 8 device.

The most popular camera on the planet, the iPhone 6’s camera is still 8MP with an f/2.2 lens and processor but it now boasts phase detection pixels so it can focus an image twice as fast as the iPhone 5S.

Apple is serious about photography and that’s why it puts so much energy into making the cameras inside of its devices technically better rather than just pumping in added megapixels.

Action shots

If you’re attempting to capture fast-moving action shots then you should get to know Burst mode. With Photo selected simply hold down the shutter icon on the screen (or use the volume buttons if these are configured to act as shutters). Keep the button held down and the camera enters burst mode. While shooting in this mode a number appears on the display telling you how many shots you’ve captured. Once you’ve got your photos tap the picture in the corner of the display and you’ll see all the images you created. Your device will have selected what it thinks is the best image but you can select a different one if you like.
