For the native iPad Camera App, simply swipe up or down with your finger over the selectable camera modes.

Thanks - not everything is as obvious and intuitive as Apple assumes when it makes changes like this. I read the upgrade blurb about how you would not have to see all the other camera modes but they would still be available. But I don't recall a simple statement like "Swipe up or down on Photo or Video to access them".


I touched them, swiped them sideways, poked other bits of the screen and I guess Iwas just unluccky not to have randomly swiped up or down on them.
