What else is the camera is good for

Last time I told you about the amazing things Google Lens can do, but even just your camera can do
much more than taking snapshots. Here are just a few ideas:

  • Keep a photo of your pet and their ID, that way you have a photo handy if he/she goes missing
    (could be a good idea for kids, too, perhaps?)
  • Use it as a notebook: take snaps of recipes in magazines, plants, art, decorations that you like and
    would like to try out yourself
  • If you rent a car, take a picture of the car and the number plate; easier to find if you don’t
    remember exactly what is looks like
  • Or even with your own car in a strange carpark, take a photo with indicators like row/level
    number etc to find it again afterwards
  • If you keep a shopping list on a whiteboard on the fridge, take a photo of it before going
    shopping, no need to transcribe it. Also, you could take a photo of the contents of your fridge to
    see what you have and what you need
  • Take a photo of any cable/plug placement before you move them, easier to put everything back
    where it belongs afterwards
  • If there is a label in a shop high up, and you can’t see it properly, hold up your phone and take a
    picture of it (or even if the print is just too small); and then zoom in

I’m sure there are a million other things where this always there little camera can help. Just remember to delete the photos when you don’t need them anymore.
