About Camera
With the built-in camera, it’s easy to take photos and record videos with iPhone.  
The lens is on the back of iPhone, so you can use the screen to see the photo or video 
you’re taking. “Tap to focus” (iPhone 3GS only) lets you focus on a specific area of your 
shot and automatically adjust the exposure. You can quickly review—and keep or 
delete—photos and videos you’ve taken.
Note:   Video features are available only on iPhone 3GS.
Camera photos are tagged with location data, including your current geographical 
coordinates provided by the built-in compass (iPhone 3GS only), if Location Services 
is turned on. You can use location data with some applications and photo-sharing 
websites to track and post where you took your pictures. If Location Services is turned 
off, you’ll be prompted to turn it on. If you don’t want to include location data with 
your photos and videos, you can still use Camera without having Location Services 
turned on. See “Location Services
” on page 14 4 .
