Tidbits

  • The new Camera app uses a unique variant of the system font called SF Camera. You can see the typography differences best in the text of the control wheel.
  • On iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, you can now choose which lens to use when taking a panorama. This means you can capture dramatic vistas by using the Pano camera in concert with the new ultra-wide lens.
  • There’s a new Live Auto setting for Live Photo capture, in addition to the usual On and Off. It’s not clear what heuristic it uses though, as snapping photos of stationary objects still consistently saves Live Photos to the camera roll.
  • Apple believes in Smart HDR so much that there is no longer an option in the Settings to save both the HDR-ified and original image. Now, you can only choose to take photos using Smart HDR — or not at all.
  • The Auto Low-Light FPS video feature can be used when recording in either 1080P 30 FPS or 4K 30 FPS. To check you have this turned on for your phone, open Settings -> Camera -> Record Video and ensure the Auto Low-Light FPS toggle is enabled.
  • If you don’t use the auto low-light option, the iPhone will still record video in extended dynamic range, almost like applying HDR to video capture, all the way up to the maximum 4K 60 FPS format.

How to quickly record a video in the iPhone 11 Camera

Image
One of the new iPhone 11 features is called QuickTake. This lets you start recording a video without changing modes, sort of like Snapchat or Instagram. To quickly take a video, ensure the camera mode is on Photo. Then, long-press on the shutter button and it will turn into a red recording light. The video is now being taken. If you remove your finger from the screen, the video ends. If you would like to keep recording without holding your finger down, simply drag the red shutter button to the lock icon on the right-hand side of the screen. This locks the video in and a standard stop button appears for you to tap at your leisure

How to take burst photos with iPhone 11

Image
In the old Camera, holding down the shutter would take a burst. Now, that’s QuickTake. A burst requires an additional motion. To take a burst, press on the shutter button and then quickly drag to the left towards the thumbnail pile of photos. (If the shutter button stays red, then you have held your finger too long and the phone thinks you want to take a video. Stop and start over.) The shutter circle will move with your finger to indicate that the burst has started, and the number shown will represent the current number of photos in the burst. When your burst is finished, just release your finger from the screen to finish

How to change crop and aspect ratio in the iPhone 11 Camera

Image
The iPhone 11 Camera has a hidden drawer of additional controls. If you notice an upward-pointing triangular arrow, swipe up on the viewfinder to reveal the new drawer of controls. There are more fine-grained options for the flash, night mode, Live Photos, crop, timer and filters. You may have noticed that the Square camera has been removed from the main wheel UI. You can instead take Square photos by changing the aspect ratio in this drawer. To change aspect ratio, tap the button (which by default will be set to 4:3). Then, tap Square. There are options for Square (1:1), 4:3 and 16:9. You can always adjust the crop later when you edit the image in the Photos library.
