2. FLICKR
Photosharing
Flickr is owned by Yahoo
and had been languishing
for a number of years.
Their recent iApp is a
rather late in the day
attempt to make up the
ground lost to Instagram.
But I like it!

15. RECORDING VIDEO
Key tips
Get close - for better framing
Get close - for better audio
Keep camera steady, avoid panning and re framing
You will need to override some of the auto settings
Maybe use an external mic?

16. RECORDING - FILMIC PRO
Video
Override some of the auto settings:
Focus - lock the focus or camera might ‘hunt’ during filming
Exposure - set the exposure for the subject
Frame rate - set it at 24, 25 or 30 frames per sec
Sadly you are stuck with auto level for audio on the iPhone 4s
and iPads. Tr y a better mic.
