In our example up top, the new iPhone can shoot 720p video at 120 frames per second. Video is shot at a higher frame rate than the rate it’s played back. There are a couple of ways slow-motion can be done, but the way the new iPhone does it is one of the most common. There are fascinating technical reasons why, but that’s an in-depth for another day.īack to slow-motion.
#SLOMO IPHONE 5S TV#
TV in the US is shown at 30 frames-per-second (or FPS), and elsewhere in the world TV is shown at 25. What those brilliant folks discovered is that it takes at least 24 frames each second to give the illusion of fluid motion. That’s the frame-rate at which feature films are shown. Way back when (aka the late 1800’s) a few smart people discovered this trick, and soon enough motion pictures were born.
All that video consists of is lots of individual photos, or frames, shown quickly enough so that the brain thinks that the photos/frames are moving. Let’s take a quick step back and remember that video is all an illusion. But how does slow motion become, well, slow? That’s all thanks to some fancy frame-work. Cool things tend to look even cooler in slow-mo. In most cases this also means better detail. In other parts of the world it’s a standard called PAL, which is 576 lines.īottom Line: The bigger the number, the more pixels in the video frame. We live in a confusing world of video formats, but for reference, Standard Definition in the US is commonly referred to as NTSC and is 480 vertical lines. The other common HD format you’ve probably heard of is 1080, which is (you guessed it) 1080 pixels tall, by 1920 pixels wide. The 720 High Definition format is 720 pixels tall, by 1280 pixels wide. Resolutions are described by the number of vertical lines displayed, and that’s exactly what 720 means. That pesky little option at the bottom of YouTube videos makes a world of difference, but what do those numbers mean? These numbers refer to the video resolution, measured in pixels. Unfortunately, most people have no idea what that sentence means, so let’s break it down. The fact that the new iPhone 5s can record 720p HD video at 120fp is a big deal.
#SLOMO IPHONE 5S SERIES#
Enjoy a few spectacular flair bartending tricks shot from a nice angle.Editor’s note: This is the first in a series on iPhone 5s features. Tap Play to start playback or edit the part of the video that you want to be slowed down!Ĭheck the video provided below and watch a demo of a slow-motion video footage that I shot a few days ago using my iPhone 5S. When finished press the red button again to stop the footage and access the Camera Roll from the bottom left corner of the screen. Next, simply press the red Record button and shoot.
You need to tap on Camera and swipe from left to right above the shutter button to switch from Photo mode to Video and finally to reach Slo-Mo. You have the option to upload your video to Facebook, Youtube and the other common social media, or share it with tour close friends via AirDrop or Email. It’s fun because you can edit the recording and select which part you want to slow down. The built-in slow-motion feature will play the recording with a 25% slower pace, creating some exciting footages from some of the simplest videos. You can now shoot spectacular 120 frames per videos with your iPhone 5S. Slow-Motion is one of the coolest new features of iSight within iOS 7.
