Your Questions

Your questions were great. Here is some followup:

Control Center: There were a couple of times in class when I mentioned the iPhone Control Center. I sensed that this was not in some of your tooboxes. Here is a lesson on the Control Center.

Using the Control Center for Quick Access to Essential Functions

Macro Photography: Eldon had a question about the Flower icon for macro photography. This was not a topic that we explored but to learn more I would have you start with the iPhone User Guide topic:

Take macro photos and videos with your iPhone camera

Convert a Live Photo to regular still Photo: This topic came up in our discussion. I have published a lesson on the step to remove the motion from a live photo. Here is the lesson:

How to Turn a Live Photo into a Still Photo

Focal Length of Zoom Lenses: Tony asked a question about converting the 1x, 2x, 3x lens identifiers to a standard focal length. In class we identified that we can see the focal length on an individual photo by tappying on the (circle i) for Info to display the metadata on the photo. However, this morning I found a conversion chart for this information on the 9to5mac.com site. Here is a snippet:

13mm (0.5x ultrawide lens)
24mm (1x main lens)
48mm (2x main lens)
77mm (3x telephoto lens)

That’s all I had from my notes:

Be Inspired: If I had one specific homework request, it would be for you to spend some time looking at some of the award winning iPhone photography examples under additional resources below. You have a good camera in your hands and your ability to be creative has few limits.

If other questions come up you can email me at Don@SeniorTechClub.com. Make sure you identify that you were in my AHS class. I get a lot of spam!
