I'm new to the Camera app on my SE 2020 and can't get this to work. It says New Quick Take Video and tap and hold the shutter to record a quick video and something about dragging the shutter to the left. It also says 0 people. I'm sliding my finger around the screen and not hearing anything about view finder. I've pointed the lens at my refrigerator and my computer keyboard and sometimes it says 0 people. It keeps repeating 0 people the way it does when the last thing I check on the home screen is the charge level when I'm charging the phone.

I think I need Camera 101!

Any help continuing my iPhone education is much appreciated.

Margaret

This is probably old news to everyone, but I just stumbled across something, and I’m so excited, I want to share. This is how clueless I am, but I was looking for a screen recording I’d just done, and not knowing where else to look, I brought up the camera app. While I was exploring the camera app, I heard it announcing things like no people, keyboard, … I realized it was telling me what was on my desk! After playing around, I found out that if you move focus to the top to the view finder, the camera app will read text to you and identify objects. I ran downstairs to show my wife, and I heard it say “cat on a flat surface with a laptop and a glass with a beverage”. I was pointing it at my kitchen table which had our cat on it, waiting to be fed, my wife’s laptop and her glass of sparkling water! It’s not going to replace the Seeing AI app for me yet, but it seemed awfully fast and accurate!
