Answers to your iPhone 4 questions: Cameras, video, photos

25.06.2010

Yuriko has this question about the iPhone's camera and its iPod app:

When I'm listening to music on my iPhone and open up the camera to take pictures and the camera is set to video, the music stops playing. Is there a way to keep that from happening? Or, is there a way to set the default setting in Camera to photo?

The iPod app will always pause playback when the Camera app launches in video mode, or if you switch to video mode; we don't know of a way to get around that. (The reason for this behavior is because you presumably want to record the audio of whatever it is you're filming.) As for the default setting, the Camera app always remembers which mode--camera or video--it was in the last time you used it, so the workaround is to be sure to switch to camera mode before closing the app.

Finally, the new Places feature introduced to the has a reader named Zachary flummoxed:

I've noticed only some of the pics I take show up under the places under pictures. Why? I've looked for options/settings but can't find any. How do I do it for all pics?
