Liven up shots on smartphone
STEPHEN SCOURFIELD shows you how to make magic with iPhone Live mode
Lots of people with iPhones that have the Live photos function will see it mostly as a nuisance.
You take that terrific picture, then notice the yellow Live note that shows it’s actually a three second video, and not a still shot.
