How to Use Apple Watch Timer and Camera Remote on watchOS 9

Did you know you can use a timer and a camera remote on your Apple Watch? There's an easy way to do that through this guide.

Through your iPhone, you can capture an image from afar. You can set up the smartphone for a photo shoot, and from here, you can see the camera image from the device you're using through the smartwatch.

Additionally, positioning your timepiece for a shutter timer is also possible.

How Apple Watch Functions as a Camera Remote

According to the official support page of Apple, you need to take note that your smartwatch should be within range of Bluetooth.

Of course, you should first turn on the Bluetooth on your iPhone. Ideally, it should be within 33 feet or 10 meters of your smartphone.

After that, you can command Siri to snap an image you desire. Just say, "Siri, take a picture."

How to Take Photos on Apple Watch

Here are the steps you need to remember to take a photo using the Camera Remote on your Apple Watch.

1. First, open the Camera Remote app on your smartwatch. Make sure that your Apple Watch is updated to the latest version, which is watchOS 9.
2. Then, place your iPhone in the best possible position before taking a shot. Your Apple Watch will act as a viewfinder of the pre-image.
3. After that, you can now begin zooming the subject you want to capture. Turn the Digital Crown afterward.
4. If you want to tweak the exposure, simply click the shot preview from your smartwatch.
5. Start taking shots by tapping the Shutter button of your Apple Watch.

Although the images are saved in the storage of your iPhone, you can still view them on your smartwatch.

How to Review Your Shots on Apple Watch

1. Click the thumbnail in the bottom left of your Apple Watch to view a photo.
2. To check the other photos, swipe left or right.
3. To drag the image that you have zoomed, use Pan.
4. Double-click the photo so it will spread out on the screen.
5. You can also show or hide the Close button and check the shot count. Once you're done, click Close.

How to Adjust the Settings and Select a Different Camera

1. Head to the Camera Remote app of your Apple Watch.
2. Tap the three-dot option so you can choose among the following options.

• HDR (switch on or off)
• Flash (you can choose auto, on, or off)
• Timer (activate a timer for 3 seconds or turn it off)
• Live Photo (just like Flash, you can select auto, on, or off)
