AI-FACE, AI-BODY and PHOTO: the three ViaCamera modes

How do you use a mode?

1. 01

   Open ViaCamera and pick a mode

   AI-FACE for portraits and head-and-shoulders shots, AI-BODY for full-body and outfit shots, PHOTO when you want to press the shutter yourself.

2. 02

   Frame the shot and step back

   Set your iPhone down with the front or the back camera facing you, then move to where you want to stand.

3. 03

   Pose

   In AI-FACE and AI-BODY mode, ViaCamera takes the photo when it sees what the mode is waiting for. In PHOTO mode, tap the shutter.

The three modes at a glance

Which mode should you use?

• 

  AI-FACE: a face detection camera

  Fires when your face is in frame and your eyes are open. Best for portraits and head-and-shoulders shots.

• 

  AI-BODY: for full-body shots

  Fires when it sees you in frame, so it suits full-body shots. Best for outfit photos.

• PHOTO: a regular camera

  A manual shutter, as in any camera app. Use it when someone else is holding the phone or you want to pick the moment yourself.

What are the limits of each mode?

• AI-FACE fires only when your face is in frame and your eyes are open. If the room is too dark for the camera to see you, turn toward a window or a lamp. If you are not facing the camera, AI-BODY fires when it sees you in frame.
• The modes are made for photos of yourself.
