Note: I used an iPhone 4 for the screenshots below.
1. Tap on the screen while using the Camera application and 2. Use the Slider to zoom in and out.
A. When you launch the Camera App, the phone automatically uses the back camera (5MP camera). To change to the forward facing camera used for FaceTime, tap on the Switch Camera button.
B. Switch back to the back camera by tapping the Switch Camera button again.
With the iPhone 4 you will have the option to use a flash for the camera on the back panel only. You will have three options when using the flash, the default is Auto.
- Flash Off – Flash will be Off regardless of lighting conditions.
- Flash Auto – The flash will activate if ambient light is too low.
- Flash On – Flash will be ON regardless of lighting conditions.
