Use the camera settings on iPod touch

Before you take a photo, the iPod touch camera automatically sets the focus and exposure, and face detection balances the exposure across many faces. To manually adjust the focus and exposure follow these steps:

1. Tap the screen to show the automatic focus area and exposure setting.

2. Tap where you want to move the focus area.

3. Next to the focus area, drag up or down to adjust the exposure.

   • To lock your manual focus and exposure settings for multiple shots, touch and hold the focus area until it pulses.

   • Tap the screen to unlock—the camera’s automatic settings and face detection turns back on.

To display a grid on the camera screen that can help you straighten your shots, go to Settings  > Camera, then turn on Grid.

You can preserve the last camera mode and filter settings you used so they’re not reset when you next open Camera.

1. Go to Settings  > Camera > Preserve Settings.

2. Turn on any of the following:

   • Camera Mode: Preserve the last camera mode you used, such as Square or Pano.

   • Filter: Preserve the last filter you used, such as Vivid or Mono.

The camera automatically detects and highlights a QR code when it’s in the picture frame.

1. Open Camera, then point the screen at the QR code until the frame around the QR code is highlighted.

2. Tap the notification that appears on the screen to go to the relevant website or app.
