Viewing Photos and Videos

Photos lets you view photos synced from your computer’s photo application, imported
from a digital camera or iPhone, or saved from an email message or webpage.

Photos organizes collections by Albums, Events, Faces, and Places. Places uses
the location information encoded in photos, but not all photos may have this
information—it requires a camera that supports geotagging. Events and Faces must
first be configured in iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac, then synced to iPad.

View photos:

1

In Photos, tap Photo, Albums, Events, Faces, or Places.

To open a collection, tap it. Or, pinch the collection to spread out a preview of the
photos it contains, then let go to open it. Photos are sorted by creation date.
When you’re viewing Places, tap a pin on the map to display the location, then pinch
to zoom and show all photos taken at this location.

Tap a thumbnail to view a photo in full screen.

You can also pinch to zoom in on the photo.
