Best iPhone camera settings for pro-quality videos

“

Fancy camera doesn't always equal to better content. In fact, the best camera is the one you have with you. And for most of us, that is our iPhone. And if you know how to optimize your iPhone setting and use the right tools on your phone, you can actually shoot pro-level content with just your phone. So in this lesson, I'm going to show you how you can set up your phone for the best quality video, stabilize your footage, pick the right shooting modes, use screen mirroring for better filming, and get great audio. So let's get into it. First of all, let's set up your iPhone for the best video quality possible. Head over to Settings, scroll down to Camera, and tap on Record Video. Set it to 4K 30 frames per second if you're filming for social media. And if you want to shoot slow-motion footage, you can change the frame rate to 4K 120 frames per second. Also, make sure to tap on Format and select Most Compatible. You want to actually turn off the HDR video because social media apps don't actually tend to process that too well. Also, make sure to turn on enhanced stabilization for smoother footage. And if you want to help with better framing, turn on all the tabs under the composition.
