Find the perfect mode for your moment
The first thing that should be understood about the iPad, to know what to expect of it is that, first and foremost, an iPad is a computer. Now, one can make an argument that any digital camcorder is a computer; however, those 'computers' are purpose-built tools whose singular purpose is to record video.

The camera modes built into your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch help you take the ideal photo or video. Swipe left or right on the camera screen to switch to a different mode. You can choose from photo, video, time-lapse, slo-mo, square, Portrait, and pano modes.
Before you start, make sure that you have the latest version of iOS or iPadOS.
Photo
Photo is the standard mode that you'll see when you open the Camera app. You use this to take still photos and Live Photos, which come alive when you touch them.
Your camera automatically focuses the image and adjusts the exposure based on what you're pointing it towards. That way, you always start with a brightly lit photo.
You can change the camera focus and exposure to a specific area. Before you take the photo, tap the place on the screen that you want to adjust. If you want to keep the focus and exposure in the same spot, press and hold on the screen until you see AE/AF Lock.
With iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and later, you can use QuickTake to record videos easily in photo mode. With other iPhone models, you can press and hold the shutter button to take a quick burst of photos. Just let go of the shutter button to stop.
