To change the frame rate on your iPhone for video recording, you use the quick toggles located at the top of the screen within the Camera app's Video mode.
Adjusting Frame Rate in Camera App
Your iPhone's Camera app provides an easy way to switch between different video recording options directly within the Video mode interface.
Here's how you do it:
- Open the Camera app on your iPhone.
- Swipe or tap to select Video mode.
- Look for the quick toggles positioned at the top of the screen. These toggles typically display the current resolution and frame rate settings, such as "HD | 60".
- Tap the frame rate number (e.g., "60") on the right side of the toggle. Each tap will cycle through the available frame rate options for your iPhone model, which can include 24, 25, 30, or 60 fps.
- You can also tap the resolution setting (e.g., "HD" or "4K") on the left side of the toggle to switch between HD or 4K recording.
- Note: The available frame rates and resolutions depend on your specific iPhone model. Newer models offer more options.
Understanding Video Options
Using these quick toggles makes it simple to switch settings on the fly without needing to go into the main iPhone Settings app.
- Resolution: Determines the detail level of the video (HD or 4K).
- Frame Rate (fps - frames per second): Determines how many still images are captured per second to create the video.
- Lower frame rates (like 24 fps): Often used for a more cinematic look.
- Standard frame rates (like 30 fps): Common for general video recording.
- Higher frame rates (like 60 fps): Ideal for smoother motion, especially good for capturing action or creating slow-motion effects during editing.
By utilizing the quick toggles in Video mode, you can easily adjust both the video resolution and frame rate available on your iPhone to best suit the scene you're recording.
