Taking Photos on iPhone 15 Pro

Taking Photos on iPhone 15 Pro

First time owner of an iPhone.

Tried taking Photos, discovered I wasn’t always tapping button, but pressing it, resulting in a 1 sec video.

Anyway to stop this occurring in future or will I need to just practice this?

Have a few of these 1 sec videos, which should have just been photos, how can I just capture one shots from these Videos, to add to my Photos? i.e. don’t want 1 sec Video just a single Photo.

What is the purpose of having a Photo setting, that takes Video, when a Video option is available if required?

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 17

Hi brainnearlydead,

I understand that you're having an issue with capturing photos on your iPhone.

In order to take a photo on an iPhone you just need to quickly tap on the shutter button in your iPhone's camera app: Take great photos and videos – Apple Support Holding it will begin recording a video, this feature is called QuickTake. There's no way to disable this feature unfortunately, so you may need to practice this.

You can capture a photo from these short videos by playing it back and taking a screenshot: Take a screenshot on iPhone – Apple Support Next, find the screen shot and crop out the black borders on the screen: Take and edit photos with your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.

The purpose of this feature is to allow users to quickly begin a video recording when something suddenly happens, instead of needing to scroll over to the dedicated video tab in the Camera app:Record videos with your iPhone camera – Apple Support

Cheers!

Thanks for your prompt Dallen.

Managed to screenshot from iMac Photos, share to Photos OK… thanks.

If purpose of feature is as you say, camera would have to be on to do so, Video button can quickly be found as next to Photo. In my opinion a Photo is for a photo. Selecting Video is for video recordings.
