iPad Primer with Embedded Video Tutorials
This page is one in a series of screens that display the learning objectives covered in the course EDUC 439/639: iPad Apps for Educators. The learning modules are in the iPad Primer, which students download to their iPads from Apple's iBookstore. Embedded in the modules are show-me movies that illustrate the tutorials and make them interactive. What powers this multimedia learning environment is the iPad's support for the <video> tag, which enables authors to embed movies on iBooks pages. One of the byproducts of working through the iPad Primer is that you will become able to write your own multimedia EPUB documents, if you would like to author a multimedia eBook for publication at Apple's iBookstore.
Chapter 2: Taking Photos with the Camera
After completing this chapter, you will be able to:
- Take photos with either the front-facing or high-definition camera on the back of the iPad.
- Understand the importance of the Camera Roll as the storage center from which you can bring into one app an image that you created or captured in another app.
- Change the focus and exposure of the high-definition camera on the back of the iPad.
- Minimize your use of digital zoom by moving closer to the subject you are shooting, if it is practical and safe to do so.
- Use the iPad screen as a giant viewfinder when recording full-motion video.
- Trim video by deleting unwanted portions from the beginning or end of the recording.
