what's up guys Eric here from techisode TV and today we're taking a look at the top
five unknown camera features on the iPhone SE. most of these features work
with other iPhones as well as long as you're on iOS 13 4.1 or higher. I also
have a second unknown features video for the iPhone SE where I cover a bunch of
non camera related features so if you want to check that out you can follow
the link at the end of this video or the link in the description with that out of
the way let's get started if you're taking a bunch of pictures and you want
to immediately start filming all you have to do is hold the shutter button
and you're gonna start filming when you're done filming whatever you want
just release the shutter button then it'll save the video if you're holding
the shutter button to film a video and you suddenly decide you want to film for
a lot longer you can just swipe the shutter button over to the right and
it'll lock you into video mode alternatively you can just swipe to the
right from the beginning and it will lock you in a video mode right away the
one downside with filming like this is that you're going to get a 1920 by 1440
resolution video which matches the four by three aspect ratio of the pictures
and if you're taking a square photo which is one by one then you get a one
by one aspect ratio video and obviously the same thing goes for sixteen by nine
which is the resolution that most videos are filmed in and this would give you a
1920 by 1080 video and just to be clear it's 1920 regardless of what your video
settings are set to so even though I have a 4k video setting in my video mode
I'm still going to get a 1920 by 1440 resolution video when I record a video
from photo mode if you swipe the shutter button to the left you'll start taking a
burst photo while we're here you'll notice that there is a yellow crosshair
and this is telling you when your phone is level so if I start tilting this a
little bit if I get my hand bionaire and I start tilting it one way or the other
you'll see there are now two crosshairs moving around and when I get it
perfectly level then it's going to lock in place and turn to a yellowish color
and now I know that my phone is perfectly level now this is mainly
useful form you want to take a picture straight down on top
and you want it to be perfectly level you don't want it to have any sort of
like angle to the picture at all then this is a great way to know when it's
level unfortunately the crosshair disappears
when you go to take a regular picture so if you're taking a picture like this of
a landscape and you're trying to level that and make sure that's perfectly
level there is no feature to help you do that on older iPhones if you want to
change the resolution and framerate of your video you'd actually have to go to
the system settings and then navigate to the camera application go into those
settings and change it from there every time you wanted to change the settings
on newer iPhones it is much easier now all you have to do is tap the resolution
and it will change from 4k to HD which is 1080p and then you can tap the frame
rate as well and change that from 30 to 60 for HD resolution if you switch to 4k
you can do 20 for 30 or 60 frames per second in case you're wondering this
also works with slo-mo videos so you can change it from 240 to 120 frames per
second but you are stuck with just HD resolution if you switch to the front
camera you do not get the option to change resolution or frame rate because
the iPhone se only records in 1080p at 30 frames per
second with no other options however if you have a higher-end iPhone like the
iPhone 11 Pro max then you do get the option to change the resolution and
frame rate for the front-facing camera as well if you want to check if your
last picture came out good all you have to do is swipe up on the preview and you
can quickly preview that image if you swipe back down it goes away and you can
go back to taking photos immediately if you were to swipe up and let go it'll
take you into the Photos app which is the same as just tapping it if you just
want to film a very short video all you have to do is press and hold the record
button and it's going to record as long as you're holding that button if you let
go of it it's going to stop recording and save the video alternatively if you
were holding the button and then later decide you know what I want to film for
a little bit longer all you have to do is swipe the button to the right and
you're going to go into regular recording mode and in case you're
wondering this is filming at the resolution that you have your video mode
set to if you tap this icon in the upper left
corner it's either going to turn slash completely off or have the option to
turn it on automatically if you're filming something really dark the
problem with this is if it's not super dark then that flash automatically turns
off so if you wanted the camera flash to stay on while you're filming so that you
could film underneath something like let's say you lost something under a
couch or behind a piece of furniture then the way to do that would be to
swipe up while in video mode now you get a new option called on so go ahead and
tap that that's going to turn the light on and keep it on even if you're not
filming then when you start filming it's again going to keep that light turn on
so if you're looking for something in a dark place this is a great way to keep
the flash on this one's kind of a bonus feature because it isn't really hidden
typically when you go to take a panorama photo the iPhone will make you take it
from left to right no matter what if for some reason you want to take the
panorama photo from right to left all you have to do is tap the arrow and
it'll let you do that here's another bonus feature that isn't
hidden at all but a lot of people don't know how to use this so I just wanted to
share it with you guys anyway if you tap anywhere on the screen it will focus and
change exposure based on where you tapped but if you're taking a picture of
people with like a sunset behind them a lot of times that still doesn't work
very well and the people are super dark and the sunset is properly exposed if
you want those people to be more properly exposed so it's easier to see
them then all you have to do is tap anywhere on the screen and start swiping
up and it'll actually make the entire image brighter so that you can see the
people's faces easier now the sky might get a bit blown out and you might not be
able to see as many details but at least you'll be able to see the faces of the
people you're taking a picture of and the same goes for swiping down if you
swipe down if it's too bright and you're taking a picture of maybe a sunset
you're trying to bring it down just keep swiping down and it'll make it darker
