I initially still had no luck. I slid my finger around the screen and
only heard the thing about quick video ; Drag the shutter to the left
for something that sounds like burst; and 0 people. There is no focus
or view finder.
There was a continue button that I finally found and double tapped on
and then I could follow your instructions.
It was interesting and needs some work. It liked to call things musical
instrument and there isn't a musical instrument in the house. It got
some things right.
A friend came when I was going around downstairs with it and I finally
got it to say face.
How do you get it to shut up? I tried the magic tap and that didn't
work. I was hurrying to be able to pay attention to my friend and lost
speech, but was able to get it back.
Thanks,
Margaret

Double tap on it and then do not touch the screen again until you wan to
change something and just point the camera around at things and wait a
few seconds for it to say something.
HTH,

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.

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!
