How Do I Shoot video with the iPhone 4

Monday January 24, 2011

Sean gives a

guided tour of the video and still cameras on the iPhone 4

, either of which can be used to shoot video. Using the rear camera on the iPhone 4 you can

shoot video in HD at 720p resolution

. Not full HD as you'll find on your 1080p HDTV at home but a marked improvement over the SD video recording capabilities of the previous generation, the iPhone 3GS.

Show Notes

- The iPhone 4 has two cameras, one on the front of the device and one on the back.

- The rear camera is the higher resolution camera and can shoot video in 720p HD.

- The front-facing camera is designed primarily for video calls via FaceTime but can be used for shooting video too, though it's lower resolution than the rear facing camera.

- There's an LED flash on the back of the iPhone 4, right beside the camera lens. This can be used as a flash or as a video light.
