iPhone portrait#
The controls work as in landscape; only their places change. The scene badge and the storage and battery indicators sit above the telemetry row. The lens selector and More () button stay at the top edge of the picture. Audio, scopes, the tray and Record sit below the picture.
When a procedure names a control, find it by name first; its position in portrait differs from the landscape figures in this manual.
