Hello to all and many thanks for the responses.
I especially appreciate Phil's guidance on managing the photo file format and the live feature. I also agree that you have to keep a sharp eye on settings and preferences with software updates.
Apple products default photos to the HEIC format which is exclusive to them. It is a version of the HEIF format that uses compression technology. It has the photo resolution of a JPEG file at about half the file size. HEIC is one of the formats that the industry is considering as a replacement for JPEG. That would be a long term transition.
John: I will send a PM.
