Take photo from lock screen

I thought I read someplace that you can access the camera on the iPhone lock screen.   Anyone know how to turn this on?

There's nothing to turn on.  You can quickly open Camera when the screen is locked by double-clicking the Home button, then tapping the camera symbol at the right end of the slide to unlock bar.

  • PUZZLED: Iphone 4s ran out of space after taking one photo from lock screen and deleted whole photo album. Can I recover?

    My phone is running 6.0.1. I took one photo from the lock screen by sliding up the camera button.  It was a little blurry so I tried again and the iphone 4ssaid it couldn't because the phone was out of space. 
    After shutting the phone off and turning it back, put in the passcode and checked my photos and they were all gone.  my usage says I only have 150kb left on the 16gb phone it says zero photos and zero videos. I only have 10 applications and 606 songs.  It seems the photos are still on the device as the space is being used but i cant access them.  Any idea or suggestions will help. Thanks

    I i backup from current state would it not backup without the photos. Maybe I should just restore from the last backup posible and this should have all photos until then. But before i restore from backup I wish i could just access the photos. I don't understand in the first place how they all deleted, and secondly why iphone still recognizes the space being used.  This is such a glitch, which is very frustrating.  i wish someone at apple can give me more insight....

  • Photos from lock screen iOS7

    How can I lock these?

    No, I have not yet seen any way to solve this, but have confirmed with some friends that their phones work "properly", so there must be something setting related (or other?) - I have seen it working with 3GS & 4, but my 4 doesn't work, and the error is easily (always) repeatable on my phone.
    HDR and Grid settings make no difference for me, and if I try editing a photo in the Photos app (eg "Enhance" it), it is still not visible via the Camera app. I have online backups (iCloud) turned on, but not the photostream.
    I have also tried silly things like disabling the passcode lock, turning bluetooth off, etc - still no difference.
    I have quickly browsed the EXIF & IPTC data - but nothing jumped out - still need to download to PC and run a proper file viewer over it ...
    This is both frustrating and stupid - there must be some logical reason for this behaviour!
    [Re your Update - yes, I am aware that the pictures are visible via the photos app (see second para of original message)]

  • Just downloaded iOS 5 update to my iPhone4. One new feature is ability to access photo app from lock screen by tapping "camera" icon. Camera icon does not show up on my lock screen. Help?

    Just downloaded iOS 5 update to my iPhone4. One new feature is ability to access photo app directly from lock screen by tapping "camera" icon. Camera icon does not show up on my lock screen. Help?

    Press the home button once to wake the phone into lock mode.  Then press it twice while in lock screen and you will see camera button to right of slide.

  • IPhone 6plus camera freezes when trying to take photos from within other apps

    Hi,  8.1 6Plus,   my regular camera turns black screen when trying to take photos from within other apps or sometimes between photos in the regular camera app.  I can still take a photo, I just have no idea what I'm seeing or taking a picture of.   Then when I press retake (in other apps) the screen comes back on and it works.   Its annoying more than anything else.   Any ideas? Have done the whole close apps/restart process.
    Thanks!

    What version of iPhoto? How much disk space did you have before deleting things?

  • Difficulty answering iPhone 5 with iOS 7 from lock screen

    With iOS 7, when I try to answer the phone from lock screen, the slide to answer green bar is less responsive than answering phone in previous versions of iOS and it also takes awhile for other party to hear you. Several persons tell me the same. Using an iPhone 5. Can anyone help me out on this? Is it a generalized problem that Apple should address?

    No, we have to wait till Apple fixes this problem.
    For the Slide to reply bar: Turn on "Reply with message" in your passcode settings you that you will have a button to answer a call instead of a slider. (Will also enable Messaging from the lock screen)

  • Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Using IOS 5, but no camera from lock-screen or Week view in Calendar, as promised. What can I do?

    Thanks. I don't know if it seems obvious to everyone, but it shouldn't be needed to double click to seet it. If anyone finds out why there isn't a week view in the Calendar native app, or a way to make it avaiable I would be thankfull. If not, I will continue using third party app for that purpose.

  • End a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?

    Is there a way to end a call & mute/un-mute from lock screen?
    I frequently call into meetings from my iPhone and then lock the screen, I don't like having to unlock my phone just to go off mute or end the call..

    iPhones should not lock at all during any length call unless you're using a headset - wired or Bluetooth. In that case,  you should use the mute and end call controls on the headset.
    The only exception to this are phones that were configured by corporate security settings that force the phone to lock after a specified interval regardless if there is a call in progress.  In that case, you only option it to get your IT dept. to reconfigure this setting.

  • Take photo from image stream using capture engine technique in media foundation

    Hi,
    I am beginner for media foundation.I have to develop Win32 desktop application using capture engine technique in media foundation.
    I have to implement the following features:1)Show video streaming 2)Capture video 3)Capture photo from still-image stream.These features are implemented in capture engine.
    I am able to take photo from video stream not from image stream.I tried to configure the image stream index in Addstream() api,but its giving MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_ERROR error.
    To trigger the still pin,use
    the IAMVideoControl::SetMode method
    in directshow. How do i implement this feature using capture engine technique in MF?My question
    is-is it possible do it in Media foundtion??I have searched many sites but no luck.
    Here the sample code which i used to capture an image.
    HRESULT TakePhoto()
    HRESULT hr = m_pEngine->GetSink(MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_SINK_TYPE_PHOTO, &pSink);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pSink->QueryInterface(IID_PPV_ARGS(&pPhoto));
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = m_pEngine->GetSource(&pSource);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pSource->GetCurrentDeviceMediaType(1, &pMediaType); // 1 is Image stream index.I will get current image stream media type here.
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    //Configure the photo format
    hr = CreatePhotoMediaType(pMediaType, &pMediaType2,GUID_ContainerFormatBmp);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pPhoto->RemoveAllStreams();
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    DWORD dwSinkStreamIndex;
    // Try to connect the first still image stream to the photo sink
    if(bHasPhotoStream)
    hr = pPhoto->AddStream((DWORD)MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_PREFERRED_SOURCE_STREAM_FOR_PHOTO, pMediaType2, NULL, &dwSinkStreamIndex); //Instead of MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_PREFERRED_SOURCE_STREAM_FOR_PHOTO,i gave index as 1.i am getting error
    if(FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = pPhoto->SetOutputFileName(pszFileName);
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    hr = m_pEngine->TakePhoto();
    if (FAILED(hr))
    goto done;
    return hr;
    HRESULT OnCaptureEvent(WPARAM wParam, LPARAM lParam)
    GUID guidType;
    HRESULT hrStatus;
    IMFMediaEvent *pEvent = reinterpret_cast<IMFMediaEvent*>(wParam);
    hr = pEvent->GetExtendedType(&guidType);
    if (SUCCEEDED(hr))
    if (guidType == MF_CAPTURE_ENGINE_ERROR) //i got this error if i give dwSourceStreamIndex as '1' in Addstresm api
    DestroyCaptureEngine();
    pEvent->Release();
    return hrStatus;

  • Does anyone know how to take photos from IPHOTO into Lightroom?

    does anyone know how to take photos from IPHOTO into Lightroom?

    Because Apple has dropped "Aperture" and is switching users away from "iPhoto" to a new photo application called "Photo" so that they are more fully integrated with the Yosemite 10 and the iOS 8.3 going forward there are some instructions how to import photos into Lightroom without losing to much metadata or other information. Go under Lightroom help and follow he instructions.

  • Opening camera or calculator from lock screen

    Recently I upgraded my 5S to IOS 8.3 and now faced issue when starting camera or calculator from lock screen.
    I'm pressing "home" button to activate screen and then start calculator or camera from bottom menu, but the screen goes black immediately.
    When I press "home" button again, I can see that the camera or calculator will be closed and I'm back in lock screen.
    Does anyone else have similar issue with 8.3 ?

    I currently have the exact same issue with my iPhone 5s.
    The previous update was golden and fixed every issue I had with my 5s. I have my 5s set up for Touch ID/password and I was thinking it might have something to do with that, but I haven't gotten around to testing this issue without all of that enabled.
    I hate to say it, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who has this issue...
    This update also bright back other issues that were fixed in the previous update, for me anyway.
    Is there a way for us to officially submit this issue to Apple?

  • Removing time and date from lock screen

    how do i remove time and date from lock screen?

    As noted in the title, I would like to know if it is possible to remove the Time, Day and Date from my custom Lock Screen?  Is it possible or not? 
    Not a feature of Windows Phone OS, you can only change wallpaper, show artist when playing music or have password request upon lockscreen.
