Say why a photo moves
Say why some pictures move, and stop it when you would rather they did not.
A Live Photo is a still picture with a moment of video either side of the shutter.
Hold a finger on it and it moves. That is why a photograph of a still room wobbles.
Key points
- A Live Photo is a still picture with a moment of video attached
- It can be turned off, and older pictures keep their movement
What to remember
- One switch, and only the next picture changes.
- Movement in a still picture is a setting, not a fault.
Try this
Open the camera on your own phone and look for a small circle of rings.
