Rotating the iPad

You can hold an iPad in two ways: landscape mode or portrait mode. When you turn the iPad on its side, it automatically flips the image currently displayed on the screen. Since you can rotate your iPad in four different positions, you essentially have two ways to hold the iPad in landscape mode and two ways to hold it in portrait mode.

If you're holding the iPad and finding that it keeps trying to flip its image back and forth, you can lock it in a specific position by following these steps:

  1. Rotate the iPad into the portrait or landscape position.

  2. Move the Screen rotation lock button up or down (shown earlier in Figure 3-1). An icon appears on the screen that shows whether the screen rotation is locked, as shown in Figure 3-4.

    The Screen rotation lock icon shows when the screen is locked or unlocked.
    The Screen rotation lock icon shows when the screen is locked or unlocked.
