We are faced with an important event, we take out our iPhone, open the camera and… Do we record a video or take several photos? Well, it depends a lot on what is happening around us, but, in any case, we can take both at the same time. Let’s see how.
First video, but with photos at the same time
Faced with the situation of recording video, taking photos, or “hacking” the iPhone camera button to automate almost anything, it’s more than handy to know that we can capture both pictures and videos. Even so, This involves some changes. compared to the results we would get if we took photos and videos separately.
The video itself doesn’t see any change whether or not we take photos while it’s being shot, but the photos do. What we will appreciate more quickly is that these will not be Live Photos, these will be static photos. In addition, its resolution will be conditioned to that of the video we record, normally going down from the 12MP of the cameras to around 8, approximately.
That said, the truth is that be able to capture both resources at the same time It’s really interesting. So let’s see how. The steps are these:
- We open the application Camera on our iPhone or iPad.
- We choose the video mode.
- We touch the button to start recording.
- We press the white button to take different photos.
When we have finished recording the video, we will find both the snapshots and the video itself in the photo library of our iPhone or iPad. Ready for us to rearrange them in the album, if necessary, share, create a memory or whatever we consider most appropriate. A great resource for increase the coverage of what we want to record very, very simply.
