== Steps ==
# Let's get started by pressing the Home button one time. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas10_162.jpg|center]]
# Once we've done that, we'll be on the lock screen where we can then swipe across. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas15_462.jpg|center]]
# Now, enter a PIN or Passcode. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas17_763.jpg|center]]
# Alternatively, we can use a thumb or finger to press and hold on the Home button. This will trigger the fingerprint sensor and take us to the home screen of the phone. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas17_699.jpg|center]]
# From the home screen we need to find the "Camera" icon, which is a black camera in a silver box that's labeled "Camera". [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas27_822.jpg|center]]
# Press that icon one time to open the Camera window. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas40_805.jpg|center]]
# We will notice a big, round white "PHOTO" button at the bottom. A single press on this button will take a photo. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas44_602536.jpg|center]]
# We'll also notice that a photo is taken when the screen changes, and the image at the lower left corner changes. The screen will flash, and a new image will appear in the bottom corner. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas51_782536.jpg|center]]
# However, we can also take our iPhone 6 headphones and use the volume up and own buttons to accomplish the same thing. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas69_122536.jpg|center]]
# We'll start by pressing the volume up button. This will take a photo. We can do the same thing by pressing on the volume down button. A single press on that button will also take a photo. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas72_601536.jpg|center]]
# In addition, we accomplish the same thing using the volume up and down buttons on the side of the phone. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas95_522536.jpg|center]]
# One press on volume up will snap a photo. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas99_442536.jpg|center]]
# One press on volume down will take a photo as well. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas103_542536.jpg|center]]
# This is how we can use the phone to take photos more easily or in a more traditionally comfortable manner. For example, if we're holding our phone, and we want to take a photo, we might find it difficult to press the photo at the bottom of the screen. It can be much easier to use the volume buttons. [[Image:_take_photos_with_the_volume_buttons_of_your_phone_or_headset_when_using_an_iPhone_6.mp4-canvas127_106536.jpg|center]]
# On the other hand, if the phone is on a tripod or a stand, it can be much easier to use the volume up and down buttons on the headphones or use the built-in timer to take a photo. The timer is discussed in another tutorial, which can be found on this website.
