Using the iPod touch Camera
iPod touch camera zoom
The iPod touch camera can both focus on any area of a picture (tap an area and a target-like box will appear where you’ve tapped; the camera will focus the photo there), it also zooms in and out.
To use the zoom feature, tap anywhere on the image in the Camera app and a slider bar with a minus on one end and a plus on the other will appear. Slide the bar to zoom in and out. When you have just the photo you want, tap the camera icon at the bottom center of the screen to take the photo.
HDR Photos
To capture images that are made even higher quality and more appealing through software, you can turn on HDR, or High Dynamic Range, photos. To do that, in the Camera app, tap Options at the top of the screen. Then slide HDR to On.
Recording video
To use the iPod touch camera to record video, open the Camera app. In the bottom right corner of the app is a slider that moves between an icon of a still camera and an icon of a video camera. Slide it to rest underneath the video camera.
Switching cameras
To switch the camera being used to take a photo or video, just tap the icon of the camera with the curved arrows next to it in the top right corner of the screen in the Camera app. Tap it again to reverse which camera is being used.
