Well, hi there. I’m Andy Walker and welcome to another edition of the iPhone basics tutorial series, ten-part series that we offer here on Butterscotch.com to get you up and running with your iPhone 3G. Well, on this episode I’m going to show you how to take a picture with your iPhone. I don’t know if you’ve noticed but if you flip the iPhone over you can see the device has a camera. Check it out here. It’s two megapixel not particularly high quality but good enough for taking decent pictures on the go and emailing your friends.
Let me flip it over again here. Let’s go into the camera application. You’ll find in a variety different spots in my particular case it is installed in the main screen here. It looks like a little how lens fish eye lens there. And I click on that. You must see well, it looks like an aperture and the aperture will go away and it will start to show you what is on the other side so you can frame what is behind the cameras.
So as you can see, I’m framing my fingers here. I don’t know if I can show you the rest of the room, I don’t think I can. But let's just take the picture of my fingers here. So what we’re going to do is this is the camera button here. So I’m going to push and take a picture of my fingers. Now this picture is now saved in the photo application. So I click here and in the photos I have took, all the pictures I have taken are saved there. So the ones we just took right here.
Now what if I want to turn this picture into my screen saver on my iPhone or maybe this picture? Well let’s see and find a better picture than that. So I'm just going to scroll through and find a good picture. There’s my lovely fiancee and my stepson, that’s stepson to be soon. So I’m going to turn this into, I've picked this from all the pictures. Well, I liked that one better. I found all kinds of pictures here of these guys. I'm going to make this one though because it’s my favorite in to my screen saver on my iPhone.
So let’s do that. I'm going to touch on it, and then go over here to this icon. Touch and then we get a selection now. What I can do here, I can email a photo, I can assign to a contact so let’s say that, Michelle, my fiancée calls me. This picture will show up as she rings through or I can say use this as a wallpaper. So I’m going to choose use as a wall paper and I select that.
Now I can size it by pinching or expanding. So we’re going to resize that there and I’m going to set it as wallpaper. Set it to wallpaper, check. Done. OK, good. So let me go back to the main screen and if I shut down my iPhone and then start it up again to see the screen saver, there she and he is and that will always show up as my wallpaper or my screen saver. I can get back like that.
And there you go. That’s how to take a picture, to check the pictures and browse them, and then to set one as your wallpaper on your iPhone. Well, I hope you enjoyed that today.
