• The Best iPhone Camera Settings for Video Pros
• Did you know that by changing a few of the
  default iPhone camera settings, you can shoot
  even better-looking video with your iPhone? In
  this step-by-step guide, well dive into the
  world of iPhone video settings and walk you
  through everything you should turn on or off. So
  are you ready? Lets go!
• The first thing you want to do is to grab your
  phone, open up the Settings app, and scroll
  down to Camera. And lets start tweaking!
• Switch to 4k resolution
• To give your iPhone video quality a boost, tap
  into the Record Video tab.
• If your phone supports it, switch to 4K
  resolution. This resolution will capture the most
  detail in your video footage.
• Shoot at 24 frames per second
• Lets move on to the frame rate, which is how
  many frames per second (fps) your phone will
  capture.
• 30 fps is what most TV broadcasts and soap operas
  use, and 60 fps is excellent if you intend to
  slow your footage down in editing. You can now
  even record slow-motion videos in 1080p HD at
  120 fps or 240 fps. To access these settings, go
  back to the main camera settings page and then
  tap Record Slo-mo.

Our preference is to shoot at 24 fps. This frame
rate will give your footage a cinematic and
larger-than-life quality.
3. Turn off HDR Video While youre still in the
Record Video subsection, scroll down a bit more
and turn HDR Video OFF. Doing so will make
your footage more compatible with video editors.
We also think that HDR (High Dynamic Range) makes
skin tones look pretty strange take our word
for it! 4. Turn on Grid Now, head back to the
main camera settings page and turn Grid ON. The
grid displays the rule of thirds overlay, which
can help center a subject, frame up a persons
eyes, or act as guidance for creative framing.

5. Turn off View Outside Frame Scroll down
more, and turn View Outside Frame OFF. By
default, the camera app displays the area
outside of the frame the camera is actually
recording. This is more distracting for properly
framing a shot. We suggest turning it off so
youll only see exactly what youre recording.
6. Turn on Macro Control Lastly, we advise that
you turn Macro Control ON. Macro mode lets you
film objects extremely close up. Enabling this
mode will give you a toggle, which is much easier
to control than having the iPhone automatically
switch to macro mode as the camera gets close to
an object. Note that this mode is only available
on certain iPhone models.
Shoot stunning videos with your iPhone And youre
all set! See how easy that was? Now, get out
there, open the camera app on your iPhone, and
start filming top-notch videos for your business.
