Hmm, sounds like it might have been the first time you used the camera app and you had to get past some initial screens, like tips and such.
To shut it up I usually just move focus off the view finder, but it'll still let you know if there's a person in the camera view or not. To shut it up for good, I just close the camera app in the App Switcher. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) Chaltain at Outlook -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Margaret Thomas Sent: Sunday, July 31, 2022 1:02 PM To: vip >> V iPhone list <viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: Re: Playing with the camera app 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.
