Now all smartphones have a camera, with which to record videos in real time. L'iPhone it is no exception and allows you to create simple videos or with special effects, which I will talk about in the next paragraphs.
Camera
record a video on iPhone, just the app is enough Camera, already integrated on iOS. You can easily find it on the home screen, as it has agray icon with a camera inside it. But before we talk to you about how to record a video and how to set some parameters, it is important to update the iOS, so as to be sure you have all the features that I will talk about in the next lines. In this regard, I suggest you read my guide on how to update iOS or the one entitled How to download and install iOS 12.
After locating the app Camera, tap on it to start it and automatically open the lens shutter. By default the camera is set to mode Gallery; since you want to record a video, what you have to do is press on the wording Video, which you find at the bottom, or swipe from left to right on the display, to switch to video recording mode.
You will find that you are in the mode Video because the shutter button will have changed from white to red. In the top bar you can see a timer, to tell you the current video recording time, as soon as you press on button red.
Always in the top bar, in the upper left corner, there is thelightning bolt icon. This button allows you to activate the flash LED to shoot a little brighter. You can choose from the options Automatic, so as to allow the app to automatically manage the ignition of the flash based on the brightness of the environment, Yes, to keep the light always on, or No, to keep it off.
At the bottom right, however, there is a 'camera icon with arrows inside, which allows you to activate the front camera of the iPhone, in case you want to record a video of yourself. In the lower left corner, however, there is a miniature of the last photo or video in the iOS media gallery (the app Gallery).
As I have already mentioned, there are ways of recording videos with particular effects: Slow Motion e Time-Lapse. The mode Slow Motion, called Slo-mo, allows you to record a video in slow motion, with the possibility of subsequently changing the interval of the frames where the effect should begin and end. The mode Time-lapse animationinstead, it takes a series of shots at regular intervals, in order to create an accelerated video.
You can change the quality of the recorded videos by adjusting the resolution and other parameters directly from the iOS settings. To do this, launch the app Settings (the'icon with l'ingranaggio), scroll through the list and tap on the item Camera. Once this is done, in the screen that opens, locate the item Register video, to change the resolution (HD 720, HD 1080p, 4K). Remember that by changing the resolution, the video will take up more space in the iPhone memory. Through the voice Record slow motion, you can change the resolution of the video in mode instead Slow Motion.
Another option you can change is that of the video format: by selecting the item Formats, you can choose between High efficiency e More compatible. I advise you to keep the first option active but, in case, you can choose the option More compatible, which allows you to record videos in H.264.
Other apps to record videos on iPhone
Usually there is no need to record a video on iPhone with other apps, unless it is more convenient to capture the video directly from third party applications. An example are videos recorded directly via the shooting functionality of social networking apps, such as Facebook e Instagram, to share your movies with other users.
