Taking snaps of moving scenes
Here is a little trick to help you capture a moving scene like a professional. When it
comes to taking still photos we have seen that iPhone totally rocks, now its time to find a
way to defeat the drawback of moving scenes.
The good thing about the way iPhone works is that you just have to tap to get what you
want. In that little ‘tap’ action you do, there are several things you will be doing. First
you move your finger towards the screen to touch and then you remove it. iPhone
performs different actions at different parts of that little ‘tap’ action you do. It selects the
button when you touch the screen, but the functionality of the button is triggered only
when you release the button from the screen.
How does this information help us? Here’s how: When you aim your camera at a moving
scene, say, a car on a highway or a flock of birds, first do the first half of the tap. Now
you have selected the button and iPhone knows you are about to snap. Now when you are
all ready to take the picture, just release your finger and let the camera do its thing.
When you do this you will be saving some precious seconds. This way the time
difference between your snap time and the actual time when the photo was taken will be
the shutter lag. If you want to know more about this, we have a ton of articles on the
iPhone camera. Go around and have a look at them.

Making calls on an iPhone
When you are on a call on your iPhone, there are many things you can do. iPhone
marvels at multitasking. For the first thing you can tap the home button while on a
call to access any other application that is there on your iPhone. You should also
know that you can surf the web while you are talking only if you are using a WiFi.
This is not possible with the EDGE network. Here are the main options you have
while you are on a call:
Mute a call: This button allows you to mute the microphone so that you can say
something that the other person can’t hear. This is very useful when you have to
mutter something under your breath when the caller ticks you off. You can tap un-
mute to resume the normal conversation.
Contacts: You can use this to browse through your contacts list. You can just view
them or call them by putting the current call under hold.
Hold: This just allows you to place a call on hold. You can use this feature to call
another person or to answer another call. If you get a different call while you are
talking, iPhone displays a separate screen with options to answer the incoming call or
to ignore it. These options pretty much take care of muting for you.
Keypad: This brings the keypad back on. Useful when you are calling the customer
care to type in the options to reach the proper support person.
Using the speaker phone: This lets you listen to the call through the loud speaker.
You might try to hold the lower end of the iPhone facing towards you if you want to
hear them louder.
Add: This lets you add another user to the current conversation. This is useful to
make conference calls.

Battery Assault
So many features, so much to do, but so less time! Here are some tips to prevent your iPhone from running out of juice when you need it the most. So here are some tips for preventing your iPhone from losing its juice fast and ways to stop that assault on your batteries with intensive power consumptions by applications.
1. Don’t charge your iPhone when it is in the case. When you do this, excessive heat is produced that reduces your battery life. Always take your iPhone out of the case to increase the life of the batteries.
2. Turn off blue tooth if you are not using any device. If you don’t do this, the iPhone keeps looking for signals from other Bluetooth devices and end up consuming power while doing so. Applications that have to use an antenna are the biggest battery assaulters. To avoid this, go to Home screen > General > Bluetooth and turn in on/off.
3. Just like blue tooth, Wi-fi is another big battery consumer. Avoid using this also when it is not in need. Go to home screen > General > Network > Wi-fi and turn it on/off.
4. Use auto-brightness sets the brightness according the surrounding light. Doing this is better than cranking up the brightness and using it as it is even when it is not necessary.
5. Turn on the EQ while you are listening to songs. This not only makes your songs sound better but it also makes sure the battery consumption is bought to the minimum.
Proper care of iPhone and its battery can help increase your iPhone life. According to Apple 80% of the battery’s original capacity can be retained after 400 complete charge recharge cycles.
