This smartphone setup can make your videos look a lot smoother – News Block

Whenever you decide to take a video of a precious memory that you would like to capture, you must remember that there is a powerful camera in your pocket. It doesn’t matter if it’s an iPhone or Android, especially if the device is relatively new. You can accomplish a lot with the smartphone’s photo and video capabilities right out of the box. But the more familiar you are with your equipment, the better the results will be.

While we’re talking about video, there just so happens to be some simple camera settings you can tweak on your iPhone and Android that will help you capture much smoother video on your camera. The key is to shoot at 60 frames per second (fps) instead of 30 fps.

You don’t have to be a pro to shoot 60fps on your iPhone or Android device. And you don’t even have to be a camera enthusiast. As ZDNet explains, you might turn on 60fps video recording mode on your iPhone accidentally. But you’ll realize that the clips are suddenly better once you watch them again.

Only then will you try to understand why your videos suddenly look smoother than before. Increasing the frames per second that the camera captures will do that. You’re pretty much doubling the frames with a single setting, and the results will show, especially if you watch the videos on larger screens.

The downside of doubling the fps is that the video file will be larger than a normal 30fps clip. The resolution of the clip is also important here. Shooting at 4K 60fps will consume much more storage than the 1080p 30fps setting.

The video below compares different shooting modes on an iPhone 11, from the default 1080p 30fps to 4K 60fps. Why an iPhone 11? Because you don’t need the newest model to capture smooth video, especially on iPhone. Video capture has been a big focus for Apple and an advantage over Android in years past.

In addition, the accidental fluid video in from ZDNet The story came from an iPhone 11.

Now that you understand the basics, you can go ahead and enable 60fps on your iPhone right from the iPhone. Camera app You don’t even have to go to the Settings app.

Open the Camera app, switch to Video mode, and then find the 30 number in the upper right corner. Touch it to turn it into 60. You can do the same with High Definition to convert the video recording to 4K.

Increasing the frames per second is the key feature here to help you create smoother clips.

If you’re on Android, you can achieve the same effect from within the Camera app. Again, switch to Video and then tap on settings to select your desired resolution and fps values.

Just like on the iPhone, recording at a higher resolution and increasing the number of frames will increase the size of the resulting clip. You may want to stick with HD (1080p) and 60fps for most recording, regardless of platform. But it’s up to you to decide.

While we’re talking about camera settings, the following YouTube clip will teach you how to customize your camera experience on your iPhone beyond just video settings.
