On the IPhone

How to take a video
Where to view and edit photos and videos
Open the photos app on your Iphone/Ipad
Scroll down do see all your albums and phtoos.
How to edit photos
1. Edit and Auto Enhance
Open Photos to review the shots you've snapped, tap on one, then tap Edit (top-right). The editing options appear; their location will vary depending on whether your iPad is in portrait or landscape orientation. Often the most immediately useful option is Auto Enhance (represented by the magic wand icon).
Tap this and Photos will attempt to improve the colour and contrast of your photo automatically.
2. Crop and rotate
Tap the Crop tool. If Photos detects a line in the image that it thinks should be horizontal, it automatically rotates the shot to suit. You can fine-tune using the wheel, or undo by tapping Reset.
To crop, drag the white frame border or its corners. Optionally, tap the aspect ratio icon (overlapping squares); a rule-of-thirds grid will be displayed to help you perfect your composition. Click Done to save your changes.
3. Using Photo Filters
The Photo Filters option enables you to quickly add special effects to your photos. Tap the filters icon to reveal a row of effect previews.
Tap each in turn to see how it affects the image; tap Done to finish. You can remove an effect by tapping its preview again or by tapping None, and add further adjustments afterwards. You can revert to the unedited shot at any time, even if you've closed and reopened it.
4. Remove red-eye
Red-eye (caused by reflected camera flash) is a common problem in portraits. Photos has a built-in red-eye removal tool, which will appear if the app detects a face in shot.
Tap the tool (the eye-shaped icon), then tap on each affected eye. Sometimes you need to tap a few times for Photos to locate the red-eye; it can help if you pinch to zoom in first. Tap Done to finish.
How to shoot video with your iPhone or iPad
The video button is red and the photo button is white
Launch the Camera app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
Swipe from left to right across the bottom to switch from Photo to Video mode. (Or just tap the word Video.)
Tap the Record button to start your video - the button turns square and the second begin to roll.
Tap the Stop button to end your video.
Mouse cursor for ipad - trackpad for Ipad and Iphone

Resetting iPad or Force restart
If turning the iPad off and back on again doesn't fix the problem, or the iPad is unresponsive when you try to turn it off, you have to reset it by doing the following:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
(On the IPhone X and Ipad Pro press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Volume up button at the same time for at least ten seconds until the Apple logo appears.)
