A rectangle briefly appears where the exposure is set. When you photograph people, face
detection (iPad 3rd generation or later) balances the exposure across up to 10 faces. A rectangle
appears for each face detected.
Exposure is automatic, but you can set the exposure manually for the next shot by tapping an
object or area on the screen. With an iSight camera, tapping the screen sets the focus and the
exposure, and face detection is temporarily turned off. To lock the exposure and focus, touch
and hold until the rectangle pulses. Take as many photos as you want. When you tap the screen
again, the automatic settings and face detection turn back on.
Adjust the exposure. Tap to see next to the exposure rectangle, then slide up or down to
adjust the exposure.
Take a panorama photo. (iSight camera) Choose Pano, tap the Take Picture button, then pan slowly
in the direction of the arrow. To pan in the other direction, first tap the arrow. To pan vertically, first
rotate iPad to landscape orientation. You can reverse the direction of a vertical pan, too.
