QuickTake is time-saving iPhone photography feature that enables you to record video without having to manually switch out of your current mode in Apple’s stock Camera app beforehand.
A brief introduction to QuickTake
On supported iPhones, you’re able to capture video while in Photos mode by using the QuickTake feature. This can help you avoid missing a great photo op because you were swiping in the Camera app like an animal, trying to switch between the available shooting modes.
Simply hold the Shutter button in Camera to start shooting a QuickTake video.
Slide the Shutter button to the left and hold it to take a burst of photographs. Similarly, slide the Shutter button to the right if you’d like to lock recording. And with video recording locked, just hit that white Shutter button that appears to take a still photo during your QuickTake session.
Lock recording by sliding to the right
QuickTakes are limited to 1080p at 30fps, mono sound and no audio zoom. To shoot in higher resolutions with stereo sound and audio zoom, switch to Video mode.
