All iPads come with cameras that helps you to capture and view your photos. You can take your iPad and use it to take photos of beautiful flowers, grandchildren or memories with friends or simply to view photos that has been shared with you. The larger screen also allows for easy viewing and you can also use the camera for video chatting when you want to catch up with your friends and family virtually. There is so much you can do with the iPad camera and the photos you have taken or downloaded. So how can we get started?

The camera app on an iPad is an app that you can use to take photos and videos with your device just like you would with a regular camera. The biggest difference? Without having to get photos printed, all the photos taken with the camera app are automatically stored on your iPad so you can access them any time on the Photos app. With the camera and photos app, you can easily and conveniently share their photos and videos with your loved ones.

Throughout this lesson we will cover the basics of the camera app and introduce you to the photos app so that you can use your iPad to capture your special moments.
