Hi Caminohip,

Thanks for coming to Apple Support Communities for help today. It sounds like you don't want to sync with iCloud and only use your older iPhone as a camera.

You can sign out of iCloud: Sign out of iCloud on your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Apple TV, or Mac.

You could also restore your iPhone and choose not to sign in or restore a backup: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings. Just be sure and make a backup as described under "Get your device ready" in case you need it.

You'd also want to back up your videos and photos. See the import instructions for Mac and PC here: Transfer photos and videos from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Have a fantastic day!
