Description of the event:

Join us for a hands-on session exploring the powerful features of your iPhone camera. We’ll dive into different photo and video modes—Time-Lapse, Slow-Mo, Cinematic, Video, Photo, Portrait, and Panorama—and learn how to make the most of each. You’ll discover tips for quickly launching the camera app, using different lenses, understanding optical vs. digital zoom, and mastering focus, exposure, and depth of field.

We’ll also cover Night Photography techniques, Live View for creative effects, and the many options available in each shooting mode. Editing tools within the iPhone will be explained, along with camera settings such as file formats (JPEG, ProRAW, ProRAW Max).

Finally, we’ll highlight helpful tools and resources, including tripods, Bluetooth shutter releases, storage solutions, and recommended reading like The iPhone Photography Book by Scott Kelby.
