iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra
So, the photo-related news from yesterdays Apple keynote are pretty slim, but
there were some. No new hardware, but some new ways to use tech that is already there. Live Photos is where, when enabled, the iPhone takes a series of full- resolution shots 1.5 seconds before and after you hit the shutter button. This was always just a quirky way to save a short video with every still shot. With iOS11 you will be able to edit this and pick what shot is the "main" shot. And also, you can change the shutter time, meaning the iPhone can after the fact make a long exposure from a "normal photo" by interpolating information from the surrounding 3 seconds of footage. It's a neat trick to move closer to what you can easily do with a DSLR. Apple is also doubling down with AR, with a developer API to include augmented reality elements into any scene, which is seriously cool of course. -- Sandman |

I don't follow Apple news, but the above indicates that the camera function activates before the user of the device knows he's going to take a photo. It's good to know that I'm back in your killfile! I can say just about anything right up in your face and you won't notice. Did that agligator leave *anything* vital? ;-ppp In article , android wrote: In article , RJH wrote: [--] 1.5s *before* you press - is that some sort of undocumented space-time shift facility?

While it is in that mode it is recording everything all the time but dumps everything older than 1.5 seconds. When you push the button it attaches the end of currently saved 1.5 seconds to the beginning of the next 1.5 seconds thereby giving you a 3 seconds shot. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

I didn't know there was a mode, or setting, involved. I didn't recognize "Live Photos" as being a mode or setting, but I should have. Seems like it would run down the battery if one wasn't careful to turn off Live Photos when not expecting to use it. there's no reason why it would run down the battery with it on or off. |

So you are saying that "Live View" is not a battery-powered function? A lit screen is not lit by battery? what a way to twist things. i never said anything remotely close to that. have you had a few too many tonight? |

You said "there's no reason why it would run down the battery with it on or off." That at least implies that either turning on live view does not draw additional power from the battery or that even when turned off it continues to draw power from the battery. -- Regards, Eric Stevens |

The display is on and stays on as soon as you turn the camera on, whether live photos is active or not. It can't make any real difference. |

If Live Photos is a mode that can be turned on or off, it would seem that this adds battery drain when it is on. Yes or no? no. there is no reason why it would.

Isn't it? with rare exception, the display is on whenever you're using the phone, whether it's live photos or any photos or some other app. an example of an exception would be when the proximity sensor detects when the phone is held up to one's head during a phone call, so it will turn off the display because the display can't be seen, however, the cellular radios are transmitting which is actually more expensive. it also has nothing to do with photos. |
