Hi, Patrick.

I have the light detector app on my phone and have been using it successfully for several weeks. It's actually one of the first apps I installed.

I honestly didn't think about using it before doing the video because I was in my living room, and I have two large windows facing due west, and it was around noon on a bright sunny day, so I knew there was plenty of light coming in.

I actually enjoy the light detector for the noises it makes. I can point the phone at my floor, which is covered in light grey carpet and tell when my black Lab walks under the phone because of how the tones decrease in pitch as she moves past. My next test is to try something smaller like a flashing LED.

Hello Lisa and all:

Congratulations on taking your first video. I am sure you are thrilled :). nothing like a sense of accomplishment.

As has already been pointed out, landscape provides a wider viewpoint. However, portrait may produce better results indoors or when you have a large amount of light.

If you can separate yourself from $0.00 you might want to pick up the light detector app. then you can play around with your camera in relation to the light you have in which to take pictures and video. Here is the link:

Much good luck to you and please let us know if this information proves useful to you.

Take good care and I wish you enough.

Patrick

Hi, all.

Yesterday I shot my first video using the iPhone and attached it to a text message. let's just say I was impressed with how easy it was and how well VO provided feedback.

The people watching the video said it looked Okay visually, but suggested that I turn the phone sideways I'm thinking landscape? because the actual video portion was very small and there was a black border around it.

I'm totally blind, so going on what people are telling me. What can I do to position the phone so that videos look better?

I use the back facing camera, and when I made the video, the phone was in portrait mode. Would choosing landscape help visually?
