IPhone XR - Best Settings for Photos and Videos - Camera App Explained 

Wait say what 😳

Yes it’s horrible

Yesssss bruhhh i hate it

Exactly why I’m looking up these kind of videos 😅

Snapchat doesn't actually take a photo with the camera, it's more like a screenshot of what the app sees from the camera. It's weird

Yep

Any1 found a fix😅

Thank you so much. Greatly appreciated. Cheers!

You’re welcome 😊

Pleased to hear that. Thanks for checking out the video and for the positive feedback! Enjoy the new iPhone. Cheers!

I finally caved 😬 I've been android for years. So far no regrets.

@@LorriKlassen LOL, that's funny I have always been on iPhone since day one, but lately have been tempted by all those Android options from Huawei, Samsung etc. Haven't caved yet, there is something about the way everything works so well within the Apple EcoSystem that keeps me in. Sure they aren't showing as much innovation as some of the Android alternatives, but the experience on the iPhone is near flawless👍I think you'll be very pleased with the acquisition, especially if you have other Mac gear, everything works so well together.😀

You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching and for the positive comments. Greatly appreciated!

Great to hear that. Thanks for watching!

Everyone here is. It’s the whole point.

Same lol my camera on the front smoothes everything out

Thanks 🙏 greatly appreciated.

Lmaoo😭

💀💀💀 bro...

Lmao

I agree

Nice

My pleasure!

Great to hear!

Thanks for checking out the video. Greatly appreciated. Actually I have created quite a few tutorials on making videos on the iPhone with iMovie which is free software by Apple. Check out the videos in the following playlist: ru-vid.com/group/PL1lEvlWMM21LrK5BNc77_ql-KGUdvomjr

If you use the portrait photo mode where there is a person in the scene you can use the aperture setting on the top right. If there are no people in the scene the iPhone XR portrait mode doesn’t work so you have to use another app for that. I have used one called Focos which does the job.....

You're welcome!

Thank you very much. Greatly appreciated.

You're welcome!

Thanks. Greatly Appreciated!

You're very welcome!

Great to hear from you. Thanks for checking out the video and the sub. More content coming up soon! Cheers!

You're welcome!

Thanks so much. Greatly appreciated!

Thanks and welcome

In the latest version of IOS 14 which came out about a month ago they did put the video resolutions in the camera up in the top right hand corner so you can tap to toggle between 1080, 4k etc.

Thanks so much.

Thanks. Greatly appreciated!

You're welcome!

Thanks for watching and also for your detailed feedback. Good to know. Will keep it in mind. 👍

@@Touchtechnologyreview Cheers Only the best intentions. 😊❤️🎶🎥

You’re welcome. Thanks for checking out the video!

Maria Arias why not just hold down on the google image and save it..?

Lol

You can shoot that at either 4k60 or 4k30. The resolution is equally high on both settings. The only benefit of going with 4k60 is that it can be smoother for fast moving objects and panning shots. Also it can be slowed down in editing for more natural looking slow motion, which you probably wouldn’t need to do with concert footage.

You can check out my other video on how to edit videos on your iPhone using iMovie here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tsNnuBTTnc4.html. Or for portrait videos this video on using Premire Rush: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7dhG8AOpV40.html Both free apps on your iPhone.

Thank you! Cheers!

Windows might have its own way of calculating the frame rate that varies to iOS file. It is essentially 60FPS. If you open it up in a video editor such as Premiere Pro or Davinci Resolve, it will probably say 60FPS exacly.

K.Wright same and when u go to edit a video it starts getting blurry

Cuz it’s a wide angle camera not a ultra wide

@@matthewmaggard5557 oh I didn’t know that well thanks 😂

The iPhone Camera App will flip automatically. Its showing you your image in preview mode as you would see yourself in a mirror then flips the final image to show you form the perspective of a camera pointing at you. However if you want to flip it, tap on edit and then the crop tool and use the top icon to flip. There is an app called Mirror that does the flip for you while taking the photo, so you can download that to have it done automatically.

You're welcome. Thanks for checking out the video and for the positive feedback!

Yes

Kishawn OP yep

Kishawn OP yes to flip back go to edit crop and on top left corner lets u flip it back to normal pic

Kishawn OP sometimes

Yes just click edit do the crop are and clip the flip button at the top

You're most welcome!

Yeah, unfortunately there is no night photo mode on the XR.

Unfortunately there is no low light settings on the XR. The iphone 11,12 and 13 have low light.

You’re welcome. Thanks for checking out the video!

High Efficiency offer better file size and improved image quality using the latest codec. However they both look pretty good and some people would say it's hard to see the difference. I've seen both side by side and can agree that High Efficiency is superior.

Yes same camera features 👍

unfortunately not, its got a focal length that is much like a 35mm lens so its kind of mid/wide. Ultra wide has just become available on the new iPhone 11. So if you have an XR you can't shoot really wide. The only thing you can do is use the panorama mode to get wide shots, takes a bit more effort but does the job if you need to get more in the scene.

Unfortunately you can’t change this. The video function crops into the sensor and that is why it zooms in about 10%. So you don’t get as wide a shot when you shout in video mode compared to still photos.

If you download the updated version of iOS 13 which came out last week you get access to extra video editing tools right within iOS. So once you download it and update, tap on the video, select edit and go to the adjustments menu. I have produced a video on how to update to iOS 13 along with how to edit the video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jqPdL-GOCiQ.html.......

To be honest the front facing camera is not the best on the XR, they made improvements on the iPhone 11 and 12. I am not aware of any real time filters you can apply on what's app so the only thing to do is consider getting a good light. Either a small Softbox or Ring light could work well.

That's a great tip. I never thought of doing that. I can see it would come in handy if you wanted to capture a tall building in one shot and you were too close to get it all in the frame. 👍

That’s so obvious, how didn’t I think of that?

Use Airdrop

You're welcome. Cheers!

When using the camera app to record video the only option is to stop the recording. The you would have to put the edit together in a video editor such as iMovie which is a free app that apple provide.

No you can't but you can export them out as lower res images. For example if you email them you get the option to export out as full res or lower res images.

That is strange, so when you go into the camera app, can you still select between photo and square modes in the slide menu just above the shutter. If you can and it shot the square image in Photo mode then it sounds like a bug of some kind, in which case i would say you may need to update the OS?

@@Touchtechnologyreview Thank you. It wasn't the camera app at all. You know what it was I was seeing a portrait, but taking a landscape or wide shot. So the fix is in the menu where the short cuts are like a flashlight. It is the portrait orientation lock: On. I guess I hit it when using the flashlight yesterday. So I was taking a picture today in horizontal and when I looked at the picture it was verticle. huh!

The front facing selfie cam doesn't support 4k. So when you want to shoot in 4k you have to make sure you are using the main camera on the back of the phone......

Well not really, the iPhone XR has only the one lens. You can zoom in by pinching on the screen but this is a digital zoom effect so not as good in terms of quality compared to the new iPhone 11 and 12 which have 2-3 lenses at different lengths for wide angle and close up zoom shots.

@@Touchtechnologyreview Thanks!

How are you exporting the pictures? I can export mine at full res without issues. Are you exporting to photo library then sharing via email or air drop?

@@Touchtechnologyreview I use the image capture app on my imac, and not sharing, just storing them. But even looking at the images on my iphone, they look lower res. I have my videos settings set to 4K, but there doesn't appear to be any resolution setting controls for still photos.

@@Pirromount Yeah I don't think you can adjust the resolution for images on the iPhone. Just to clarify, the photos are 72dpi in terms of dpi resolution. Pixels are 3024 x 4032, which makes a 12Mp images.

This is the way it has been designed to work. It takes the image as though someone took the photo of you and therefore flips it from what you are seeing in the selfie preview. So you can change it by tapping on the photo in the camera roll once taken, tap on edit on the top right of the screen tap on the third icon at the bottom which is the crop tool. Then at the top left of the screen there is a flip horizontal option next to the rotate tool......

Touch Technology Review It’ll be 2 work to make it. Then one more thing is “Once attend the incoming call it take to run call duration on 3 to 5 Seconds. Y?

TikTok are 9x16 format and no higher res than SD. So you can shoot it the 720p mode. If you are editing in iMovie export out as mp4 and should be fine to upload.

👌Great choice!

Hi Karen, The image size of the photos on the XR are 3024 by 4032 pixel so should well and truly meet the specification required by ETSY. So it is possible that you are not sharing the full res image. Are you uploading directly to the ETSY App from your camera roll. Or emailing to a computer then uploading? If emailing be sure that you are not reducing the file size. When you email an attachment it will give you an option and you select the actual size image at 3.1MB.

Touch Technology Review Thank you so much! I will try a different method to see if it works for me. I have tried a couple of upload methods, but I’ll try again now that I know the phone’s capabilities.

@@ncjimandkaren Great, best wishes with it.

Not really, the front camera is a little soft and I even think lower in resolution than the main camera. But if you edit the image you can improve sharpness significantly. I made a video on that which you can see here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wnVGZEKLq6U.html

same problem ugh

Same

same question

@@deepalij9475 update to iOS 14, after the update go to settings go to camera and you will find your solution
