  5. To take a series of rapid photos, hold down the capture button and it will automatically put your phone into burst mode.
  6. Turn your iPhone into a level by swiping to the left when in the compass app.
  7. Lock the autofocus and steady the shot when taking photos by pressing and holding your finger on the screen until a yellow square appears with the letters “AE/AF”.
