okay to start off you want to go to the Settings menu and tell the phone what to
record because it defaults to 1080 30 frames per second but we want to shoot
in 4k for this example 4k at 30 but you've got other settings 1080 at 60 or
even 720p at 30 one really nice thing that they do here is they list the file
size that each one will take up on the the memory or the storage of the phone
and if you'll notice 720p will obviously take up less space than the 1080 30 and
then the 1080 60 and then ultimately 4k takes up about three times the size of
traditional 1080 HD so you got to decide whether 4k is worth it or not when
you're about to shoot your video so also you can set up the slo-mo and it'll
default to whatever you pick the slo-mo that we like is the 1080 120 frames per
second that gives a great slow-mo effect and still has nice quality just a quick
reminder whenever you're shooting video you should always put your phone in
airplane mode that way you won't get a unwanted call or text that would
interrupt your recording alright up next we're going to shoot some video so
remember turn the camera on and go into landscape mode landscape mode do not
shoot with the phone vertically no no no landscape mode all the way also wanted
to show you another way to fire up the camera and that is holding down the 3d
touch features of the latest phone you can select to record a video record
slo-mo take a photo or take a selfie which is nice because that way it goes
directly to the recording function you want instead of having to fumble with it
and when you just turn the phone on you'll be an auto exposure and autofocus
the phone will move around and do various auto features but that's not
what we want we want to have manual control over what we're doing and so we
suggest tapping on the screen and pulling up this little exposure slider
and that way can set the exposure of the shot and
shoot from there now if you want to completely lock it down you press on the
screen and hold it down and then you'll see at the top of the screen you've got
AE/AF lock auto exposure auto focus lock and then from there you can move it
around and nothing will change at all it'll lock the exposure, focus and white
balance so let's record some video here this is the actual video nothing too
exciting just showing the 4k image now this is in a HD show we've edited the
show in HD so this footage is not in 4k but it was shot in 4k
once you shoot the video you want to get it off your phone because especially if you're shooting 4k
you don't want to have these huge files eating up all your storage space one of
the things that's nice about the later iOS as long as you have a later computer
as well as using airdrop we did a previous video where we showed different
ways to get footage off of a phone into an editor and those still work that's
connecting through iTunes or using software that transfers your photo and
videos to another device to a computer or to an iPad but using airdrop is
really really cool and it's really really fast and so this is what we use
almost exclusively now of course you could also send stuff to YouTube or
Facebook or Vimeo and that's up to you whatever your videos for but typically
when we shoot video we're doing it because we're going to edit and we'll
use airdrop
so shooting video is really easy with the iPhone but if you want to get really
really good results we would highly suggest using a third-party app and so
in another video coming soon we will talk about some of our favorites as
always thanks for watching now go out and shoot some 4k video
