New Way to Take Photos on Your iPhone

How to Take Photos or Videos on the Fly. The new iOS 5 software helps improve many features in current generations of the Apple iPhone and the Camera improvements are dramatic.

I know there are a lot of smart people around who probably picked up on the actual sequence of key strokes required to get to the Camera App and take a photograph or a video quickly.  It took me a while to find out that double clicking the Home Button brings up direct access button to the Camera App by-passing the need to put in your 4 digit passcode, find the camera app (which might be in a file folder), etc. Click the Camera Icon and make sure the Camera/Video switch is in the position desired (to take a photograph or a video); then you can take a picture or video using the Volume Up button, if desired.

Feel free to watch the video and you'll also understand why I'm keeping my iPhone 4 in addition to my new iPhone 4S; I'll be able to take Photos and Videos of my new iPhone 4S in action and a multitude of other ideas I haven't even thought through, yet.
