How to Take a Photo on Your IPhone, with VoiceOver Running:  Rita's iDevice
Advice for October 26, 2020

Did you know you can use your iPhone's volume buttons to snap photos? Using
the iPhone volume buttons can make it easier to take a picture when holding
the iPhone at an awkward angle.

How to Take a Photo Using the iPhone Volume Buttons

1.  Open the Camera app.

2.  Select which Camera option you want to use.  This is a "picker option"
where you can choose front facing camera, back facing, etc.

3.  The volume buttons are the second (up) and third (down) buttons on the
left edge of your iPhone. When you're ready to take a photo (or start one of
the video options), press either the up or down button. 

4.  You can hold your phone upright (Portrait).  Or you can hold your phone
sideways (Landscape).

You can take a picture on your iPhone by simply hitting either the volume up
or down button, instead of dragging your finger to find the "take picture
button".

This will reduce the picture getting blurred.

You can hold your iPhone in landscape mode, like a real point and shoot
camera, and click the Volume up or down buttons which are now located in the
upper right of the iPhone to take a photo

Normally the Volume Up button will increase the sound level of everything
from your ringer to the music or video you are listening to. When you launch
the Camera app, however, the Volume Up button transforms into a shutter
release button, letting you snap pictures with a squeeze of a finger. As a
special bonus, if you have headphones plugged in, and you launch the Camera
app, the headphones volume button becomes a long-distance remote shutter
release.
