How To Use the Front-Facing Camera on the iPhone 4

Would you like to learn how to use the front-facing camera on the iPhone 4? This page will walk you through the procedure. One of the best features of the iPhone 4 is what truly makes it a smartphone, its "face to face" video calling capability called Facetime.http://www.apple.com/iphone/specs.html What good is a video phone if you can only see what the other person on the line sees? A real video phone or smartphone for that matter is a phone that enables people to talk to each other, face to face, and this page will show you the basics of using iPhone 4's front-facing camera. There is another how-to page dedicated to using Facetime, and there is a link to it on the sidebar of this page.

Step 1: Launch iPhone 4's Front Camera

When you turn on your phone, you should see the camera icon, on the top right corner of the screen if you haven't rearranged your icons. You just tap gently on the camera icon, and voila, the camera turns on as a mirror with your face looking back at you.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPYzpT9mTZI

Step 2: Switch between Photo and Video Mode

As soon as you see your own face, you will also notice some settings on the horizon of the screen. There is a slide that lets you switch between the still photo or motion picture options of iPhone 4's front-facing camera. You may use the slide to alternate between them if sliding is your style. Alternatively, you can just tap on the slide and switch back and forth between the two options.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZPYzpT9mTZI

Step 3: Switch between Front and Back Camera

As soon as you see your own face, you will also see an icon on the top right hand corner of the screen. This is actually your switch between the front-facing and the back-facing cameras of your iPhone 4. If you tap on the icon, your image will be replaced by the view the back camera sees. Tap again, and you can use your iPhone as a mirror again.
