  • The Apple Mobile Special Interest Group Has Its Second Meeting on 30Th July, 2020
    The Apple mobile special interest group has its second meeting on 30th July, 2020. Five members were there. We started off discussing the fixed agenda topics for this meeting Photography o Those with iOS 13 can open the photo app quickly by swiping left from the lock screen. Another quick way is to bring the control panel onto the screen (swipe down from above the top right of an iPad screen or up from the bottom of an iPhone screen) then select the camera icon. Alternatively, locate the camera icon on the screen. Having the camera icon in the ‘dock’ is also handy as it then appears on every screen. o The camera has the ability to alter its default settings for focus and lighting by touching the yellow square that appears when the camera first starts or if you touch the screen. Touching and holding the yellow square allows fine adjustments for light. Touching the screen where you want the camera to focus on, changes the automatic option. o Once the photo is taken, try editing the result by touching the photo then touching edit. Have a play with all of the options and see the effect it has. You can discard changes at any time or save them as separate photos. Try ‘marking up’ making pen marks on a picture using an array of pens and colours. o Security of your photos should be top of mind. The best option is to store them in in a cloud computing service such as Apple Photos or Google Photos. In the photos settings, turn on ‘iCloud Photos’ to automatically send your photos to your iCloud account.
