iPhone 14, iOS 18
Across the top – Lightning Bolt is universal symbol for Flash. Press it and a diagonal line goes through it. That universal symbol for no flash.
Timed Exposure – iPhone can take up to 30 second exposure if on tripod and 10 seconds handheld. This can give the cotton candy effect to water and fast moving clouds. Good for nighttime photography and Milky Way shots.
Up Arrow – enables extended menu that includes more symbols and features to learn.
Format Types – includes RAW Max, and either jpeg (Most Compatible) and HEIF. Selecting Raw Max excludes the new Styles feature. Styles is available in jpeg and HEIF. Other options are available in Settings app > Camera.
Live Photos – Takes short clips constantly and erases them. This enables you to capture action moments you never thought possible. Think sports, action, priceless expressions on children, once in a lifetime happenings.
Styles – allows you to apply custom looks to your images and move dot on screen to customize the look/style of the image.
Ask any questions you may have and we can work our way through the other settings as your time permits.

Post a screenshot and I’ll tell you what they mean. I’ve never looked for a chart etc. and this is one of those cases where Google is your friend.

Hi Jeff ,
The icons are on the camera , like HDR , Live Photo , there's a lighting bolt etc. .
You’re welcome.
The first symbol (crescent moon with horizontal lines) match’s the long exposure icon in the upper left. It allows you to fine tune the exposure time. The time is based on camera detecting handheld or tripod and how bright the scene is.
The second symbol I'm not sure. I’ll try to find it. You and I have different iPhone models and I don’t have that.
