About camera of iPhone 3G S

With the built-in camera, it’s easy to take photos and record videos with iPhone. The lens is on the back of iPhone so you can use the touchscreen display to see the photo or video you’re taking. “Tap to focus” (iPhone 3G S only) lets you focus on a specific area of your shot and also automatically adjust the exposure. You can quickly review photos and videos you’ve taken, to keep or delete.

NOTE: Video features are available only on iPhone 3G S.

Camera photos are tagged with location data, including your current geographical coordinates provided by the built-in compass (iPhone 3G S only), if Location Services is turned on. You can use location data with some applications and photo-sharing websites to track and post where you took your pictures. If Location Services is turned off, you’ll be prompted to turn it on. If you don’t want to include location data with your photos and videos, you can still use Camera without having Location Services turned on.

Location Services

Location Services allows applications such as Maps Camera, and Compass to gather and use data indicating your location. Location Services doesn’t correlate the data it collects with your personally identifiable information. Your approximate location is determined using available information from cellular network data, local Wi-Fi networks (if you have Wi-Fi turned on), and GPS (iPhone 3G or later; GPS may not be available in all locations).

You can turn Location Services off if you don’t want to use this feature. If you turn Location Services off, you’ll be prompted to turn it on again the next time an application tries to use this feature.

Turn Location Services on or off: Choose General > Location Services and turn location services on or off. To conserve battery life, turn Location Services off when you’re not using it.
