Opening the camera from the lock screen or the icon on the home page or from control centre is all the same. As far as HEIC formatted images are concerned, they open just fine for me on my Windows 11 laptop in the Photos app. It used to be you had to download the HEVC Video Extension from the Microsoft Store and maybe I have done this and don’t remember or maybe in Windows 11 Version 23H2 this is already included in the Photos app, but I did just try this and it worked and then in Photos if you wanted to convert to JPG, you can either press tab or shift + tab until you get to the “More app bar Button” and after activateing it select “Save As” or press Control + S and the Save As dialogue comes up. In the list of formats you can then select JPG and save your file with whatever name you want. When I just tried this the picture in HEIC format I sent from my iPhone to Dropbox was 2093 Kb and the JPG was 2348 Kb, not a huge size difference, but more than 10% larger.

My wife took a couple of pictures and sent to them to me to upload, but when I received them they were, .HEIC format, and I had to download a program to my PC to change the format to, .JPEG, before they seen on my PC. So, how do we change the default photo format back to .JPEG? I don't know when the format switched to this .HEIC format, but I do not like it at all. I opened the camera and didn't find the old format option. Does anyone know how we can switch back to the .JPEG format? All help is greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care. Mike.
