Cameras, Photos, and Video

The Photos app is improved with a new sidebar and Camera gets mirrored selfies

-

he Camera and Photos apps don’t get the big upgrade in iPadOS 14 that they did in the previous version. However, there are some very handy additions and improvemen­ts.

The most immediatel­y noticeable enhancemen­t is in Photos, which has been redesigned to take advantage of the new sidebar that has been introduced across iPadOS 14. Photos also now allows you to filter photos in collection­s by favourites, edited, photos, and videos. And you can add captions to both photos and video. In the Camera app, you can now take a mirrored selfie that looks exactly as the image in the camera does on screen when you press the shutter.

Change video quality in the Camera app

You can now toggle the frame rate and resolution in the Camera app. Go to Settings > Camera and choose Record Video. Toggle Video Format Control to on and select from the list of options. 3

Set key photo in albums When you create an album in Photos, it automatica­lly sets one of the photos in

the album as a key Photo. In iPadOS 14, you can choose your own key photo. Navigate to the album, tap and hold on the photo and choose Make Key Photo. 4
