最近，我写了一篇关于如何使用Handoff(Handoff)和Universal Clipboard在不同Apple设备上复制和粘贴内容的帖子。连续性(Continuity)还包括许多其他很酷的功能，其中之一就是连续性相机(Continuity Camera)。
这是一项仅适用于 iOS 12 和OS X Mojave设备的新功能。它本质上允许您在桌面上打开支持的应用程序（如Pages、Notes、TextEdit等）并通过使用相机应用程序或使用手机扫描文档来实时导入图片。
在这篇文章中，我将介绍设置连续性相机的要求，并举例说明如何使用它。
连续性相机要求
基本上，您需要运行 iOS 12 或更高版本以及Mac OS X Mojave或更高版本。因此，如果您可以将这些操作系统中的任何一个安装到您的设备上，它将支持此功能。
接下来，您需要打开几个功能。
在两台设备上，您都必须启用Wifi和Bluetooth。您还需要确保设备使用相同的 iCloud 帐户。此外，您似乎需要启用 2FA 才能使其正常工作。因为我已经启用了它，所以我无法真正测试它。
最后，您目前只能在 OS X 上的某些应用程序中执行此操作：
这些应用程序包括 Finder、Keynote、Pages、Numbers、Mail、Messages、Notes和TextEdit。更多应用程序可能会在未来版本中支持该功能，但这是目前的列表。
还值得注意的是，您无需启用Handoff即可使用此功能。Universal Clipboard需要Handoff，但Continuity Camera不需要 Handoff 。
(Insert Photos)直接从 iPhone将照片插入Mojave(Mojave Directly)
要开始使用，请在Mac上打开一个受支持的应用程序。对于我的测试，我使用了Notes应用程序。在要插入照片或扫描文档的位置，继续按CTRL，然后单击鼠标右键。
在上下文菜单中，您将看到一个选项，其标题根据您的手机型号命名。您可以选择拍照(Take Photo)或扫描文档(Scan Documents)。此外，您也可以直接转到“文件(File)”菜单，然后从那里获得相同的选项。
在您的手机上，它应该会自动打开您的相机应用程序，准备好拍照(take a picture)或扫描文档。即使您的手机被锁定，这也将起作用。您无需输入密码或使用 Touch ID 解锁。
拍完照片并点按“使用照片( Use Photo)”后，它应该会立即出现在Mac上的文档中。
很整洁，嗯！？当它起作用时，它太棒了！但是，如果连续性摄像头无法正常工作，那可能会非常令人沮丧。以下是一些故障排除提示。
连续性摄像头故障排除
首先要做的是尝试在您的Apple ID上启用 2FA 。由于该功能会自动打开您的相机应用程序，而无需您解锁手机，我觉得 2FA 绝对是必需的。
启用后，请继续禁用并在两台设备上启用Wifi和蓝牙。(Bluetooth)然后，确保重新启动两个设备。如果它仍然不起作用，那么剩下的选择就不是太多了。
您可以尝试的一件事是在您的两台设备上注销 iCloud，然后重新登录。如果设备没有正确同步到 iCloud，那应该可以解决它。退出 iCloud 时选择保留副本。(Keep a Copy)此外，重新启动设备以重新登录 iCloud。
最后，确保您在两台设备上都连接到同一个Wifi网络。(Wifi)从技术上讲，一台连接到 2.4 GHz网络的设备和一台连接到 5 GHz网络的设备仍在同一个网络上，但只需选择一台即可排除任何潜在问题。
希望您能够在Apple设备上使用连续性摄像头！享受！
How to Use Continuity Camera on iOS and OS X
Recently, I wrote а post on how to copy and paste content across different Aрple devices using Handoff and Universal Clipboard. Continuity also includes a host of other cool features, one of them being Continuity Camera.
This is a new feature that is only available on iOS 12 and OS X Mojave devices. It essentially allows you to open a supported app on your desktop (like Pages, Notes, TextEdit, etc.) and import a picture in real-time by either using the camera app or scanning a document using your phone.
In this post, I’ll go over the requirements for setting up continuity camera and give you an example of how to use it.
Continuity Camera Requirements
Basically, you need to be running iOS 12 or later and Mac OS X Mojave or later. So if you can install either of those operating systems onto your device, it will support this feature.
Next, you need to have several features turned on.
On both of the devices, you have to enable Wifi and Bluetooth. You also need to make sure that the devices are using the same iCloud account. Also, it seems like you need to have 2FA enabled in order for this to work. Since I already had it enabled, I couldn’t really test it.
Lastly, you can currently only do this in certain apps on OS X:
These apps include Finder, Keynote, Pages, Numbers, Mail, Messages, Notes, and TextEdit. More apps may support the feature in future versions, but this is the list for now.
It’s also worth noting that you do not need to enable Handoff in order for this feature to work. Handoff is needed for Universal Clipboard, but not for Continuity Camera.
Insert Photos into Mojave Directly from iPhone
To get started, open one of the supported apps on your Mac. For my tests, I used the Notes app. At the location where you want to insert the photo or scanned document, go ahead and press CTRL and then right-click.
In the context menu, you’ll see an option with a heading named based on the model of your phone. You’ll be able to choose from Take Photo or Scan Documents. In addition, you can also just go to the File menu and you’ll get the same options from there.
On your phone, it should automatically open up your camera app, ready to take a picture or scan a document. This will work even if your phone is locked. You don’t have to enter your passcode or unlock it with touch ID.
Once you take the photo and tap Use Photo, it should immediately appear in the document on your Mac.
Pretty neat, eh!? When it works, it is awesome! If continuity camera isn’t working, however, it can be quite frustrating. Here are some troubleshooting tips.
Troubleshooting Continuity Camera
The first thing to do is to try enabling 2FA on your Apple ID. Since the feature automatically opens your camera app without requiring you to unlock your phone, I have a feeling 2FA is definitely a requirement.
Once you have that enabled, go ahead and disable and enable Wifi and Bluetooth on both devices. Then, make sure you restart both devices. If it’s still not working, there aren’t too many options left.
One thing you could try is to log out of iCloud on both of your devices and then log back in. If a device isn’t syncing to iCloud properly, that should fix it. Choose Keep a Copy when you sign out of iCloud. Also, restart your device for logging back into iCloud.
Lastly, make sure you are connected to the same Wifi network on both devices. Technically, one device connect to a 2.4 GHz network and one connected to the 5 GHz network are still on the same network, but just pick one to rule out any potential issues.
Hopefully, you’re able to use to continuity camera on your Apple devices! Enjoy!
