The new iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3.0 software have arrived, and iNew York Times/i tech columnist David Pogue is on top of it with a thoroughly updated edition of iiPhone: The Missing Manual/i. Each custom-designed page helps you use your iPhone for everything from web browsing to watching videos. The iPhone is packed with possibilities, and with this handy book, you can explore them all. p align=left span class="h1" strongiPhone 3GS Picture-Taking Goodies /strong /span br/ by David Pogue br/ table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="4" tr td align=left If you have an iPhone 3GS, then you’re in for some extra camera goodness. See the white box in the center of the screen? That’s telling you where the iPhone thinks the most important part of the photo is. That’s where it will focus; that’s what it examines to calculate the overall brightness of the photo (exposure); and that’s the portion that will determine the overall iwhite balance/i of the scene (that is, the color cast)./td /tr tr td align=left img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/oreilly/white-box2._V218292136_.jpg" border=1 align=top /td /tr tr td align=left But often, dead-center is not the most important part of the photo. The cool thing is that you can itap/i somewhere else in the scene to move that white square—to make the camera recalculate the focus, exposure, and white balance./td /tr tr td align=left img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/oreilly/tap-somewhere2._V218292137_.jpg" border=1 align=top /td /tr tr td align=left Here’s when you might want to do this tapping: br/ b1) When the whole image looks too dark or too bright./b If you tap a idark/i part of the scene, you’ll see the whole photo brighten up; if you tap a ibright/i part, the whole photo will darken a bit. You’re telling the camera, “Redo your calculations so ithis/i part has the best exposure; I don’t really care if the rest of the picture gets brighter or darker.” br/ b2) When the scene has a color cast./b If the photo looks, for example, a little bluish or yellowish, tap a different spot in the scene—the one you care most about. The iPhone recomputes its assessment of the white balance. br/ b3) When you’re in macro mode./b If the foreground object is very close to the lens—4 to 8 inches away—the iPhone automatically goes into imacro/i (super closeup) mode. In this mode, you can do something really cool: You can idefocus the background/i. The background goes soft, slightly blurry, just like the professional photos you see in magazines. Just make sure you tap the foreground object. /td /tr tr td align=left img src="http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/oreilly/macro2._V218292142_.jpg" border=1 align=top /td /tr /table

Very helpful September 7, 2010

The title of this book says it all. It should have been included with the iPhone. I am finding out things I would never discover on my own. It's easy to read and follow and an excellent reference book. It is definitely worth the money.

I am a Senior Citizen (late 60's) who is limited in tech advances. This book helped me and my wife in understanding most of things this phone can do.
Great book! July 20, 2010

I bought this book for my mother who is 65 and very technologically challenged. The iPhone is her first smart phone. While it's much easier for her to use than something like a Blackberry, she would still call me every day with a random list of questions. I sent her this book and I haven't heard another question. She said it answers every issue she has and has even taught her several tricks. The best $16 I've spent.

This book gives all the info you want but did not get with your phone! Easy to understand and arranged well. Tells many things I would never have figured out without it. Helps with shortcuts too.
