iPod touch camera basics
Learn how to take photos with Camera 
on your iPod touch. Choose from camera modes such as Photo, Pano, and Square, and zoom in or out to frame your shot.
Siri: Say something like: “Open Camera.” Learn how to ask Siri.
Open Camera
To open Camera, swipe left on the iPod touch Lock Screen or tap Camera on the iPod touch Home Screen.
Note: For your security, a green dot appears in the top-right corner of the screen when Camera is in use. See Control access to hardware features.
Switch between camera modes
Photo is the standard mode that you see when you open Camera. Use Photo mode to take still photos. Swipe left or right to choose one of the following camera modes:
Video: Record a video.
Time-lapse: Create a time‑lapse video of motion over a period of time.
Slo-mo: Record a video with a slow-motion effect.
Pano: Capture a panoramic landscape or other scene.
Square: Take photos with a square ratio.
To save a mode other than Photo as the default mode when you open Camera, see Save camera settings on iPod touch.
Zoom in or out
Open Camera and pinch the screen to zoom in or out.
Take a photo
Tap the Shutter button, or press either volume button to take a photo.
