Very impressed with my trainer’s ability to provide thorough explanations and demonstrations. I have confidence now in knowing how to manage my photos, videos, and documents. I received my money’s worth of valuable instruction.
Most people have taken pictures with a smartphone camera. However, we will start with a few basics to make sure we have a solid foundation. To begin with, we’ll discuss some basic features of your phone or tablet’s camera, define the term “selfie,” see how to quickly focus an image, and discuss a few phototaking reminders.
The self-portrait is nothing new. You might be surprised to learn that the first “selfie” was taken in 1839. Things have come a long way since Robert Cornelius immortalized himself in daguerreotype. Phones and tablets these days often include two cameras—have you noticed that? There is always one on the back—what you’re focused on displays on the screen. On many devices there is now a second camera on the front, or screen side. With this feature you can take a picture of yourself, and you can see what you look like on the screen at the same time.
Here are a few reminders regarding taking photos with a smartphone or tablet:
Smartphone cameras have changed many things related to our past user experiences with cameras. Perhaps most pronounced are the changes related to film. Remembering to purchase film or running out of shots, let alone keeping the film from being exposed and ruined, are things of the past. With smartphone cameras, you can take pictures to your heart’s content and review them right then and there. If you don’t like ‘em, you just delete ‘em, take a few more, and nothing is wasted—you’re not paying for film and development only to find that Grandma Patty’s eyes were closed.
There is a limit to how many pictures you can take based on how much storage is available on your phone or tablet. Our tip is to take a bunch of shots, then review them now or later to see which picture is the best, and delete what doesn’t look good.
Speaking of reviewing photos, let’s discuss where they reside once you’ve taken them. While the camera is in use, most devices show the last image in the bottom corner—just tap to open it up. Or later, view it in your device’s included photo gallery app. As you look at each picture, select the small trash can to delete the photo.

I think your service is great! I have used it, and I booked 2 sessions for my 83-year old husband who bought himself a new Ipad, but didn't know how to use it. He's been ill, so it was a great help that you came to the house. Thanks for the service.
I was just delighted and on my way to practice new found skills. My trainer was on time, friendly, knowledgeable, and very patient with this little old lady (age 78). I didn't have to take notes to remember - he recorded it on his tablet and sent me a copy to download so I have my instructions, step by step. So pleased with the service and the follow-up.
The trainers are so friendly, and helpful. They certainly have lots of patience and knowledge. They make you feel so comfortable asking questions you would not dare ask your family to show you again how to do. They are always welcome in my home, sometimes I hate to see them go!
Today was my first experience with GroovyTek and it was extraordinary. I learned so much over the course of the hour AND as importantly fixed the problem I was having. The trainer was intelligent and friendly. All support was given in a very collaborative way. I am looking forward to this partnership.
I'm very pleased with my session today with GroovyTek. My trainer was able to fix both my computer and my printer (problems with both) and instructed me on how to correct the issues if they occurred in the future. We also made plans for my next session. I find GroovyTek sessions extremely helpful and convenient since they are in my home.
GroovyTek has helped me, a 65 year old, learn how to do all sorts of things on my computer that I did not know about before. I had no one else to ask, and they have rescued me. It's so great to have a polite, friendly, knowledgeable person come to my house and teach me. What a wonderful service!
Outstanding trainers with expertise and a lot of patience at a fair price. I have used them for two years and they have given me a much better understanding of the in's and outs of how to use many aspects of my computer. It is a pleasure to have them come to my home and work on my own computer problems.
It is comforting to know if you have technical problems there is a Hands On source to get help. These trainers listen to your problems, find solutions and work with you until you understand the solution, their patience is outstanding. This is a great way to not only solve problems but to learn about the ever-changing world of technology; there are class presentations, small group gatherings or one-on-one in your home with kind, friendly, people.
I was so pleased to find GroovyTek. Although I am pretty tech savvy in some areas there are others where I need help. GroovyTek has helped me fill in that gap of information. I made an appointment to help me sync my devices and also help me learn how to organize my photos. The trainer was knowledgeable and able to explain things very clearly.
I have been very pleased with the IT trainers from GroovyTek who have been to my house. They were very helpful!
Spectacular people. Knowledgeable, professional, customer focused and easy to work with. I have used their services a couple of times (because I am over 40) and they are great to work with.
My tech from GoovyTek has been terrific. He is patient, knowledgeable, and explains things really well. I enjoyed learning new tools and features on my smart phone and computer. They have made doing things a lot easier and more enjoyable.
Dear GroovyTek team, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for this very supportive and beneficial service you provide! I am so grateful!
I had a serious issue with my bank website not being secure. This was a very technical problem. I used the Remote Session option to get help. My GroovyTek trainer kept at it until we finally resolved the issue.
