I’m adding my thank you to many others for this well explained video of the iPhone camera. I’ve spent many frustrating hours trying to teach my 78-year-old sister how to use her iPhone 8 camera and you’ve done it all in just over 17 minutes. Now she can watch this over and over and save my sanity thank you....Now I’m going to go look for your video on my iPhone :-)

[@woodyww]

The flickering is because you have fluorescent lighting in your room. It flickers at high rate that your eye doesn't see. The camera slows it down in slo mo and records it as a visible flicker

[@DHTV]

+Woody Woodrome oh wow I didn’t even think of that! Thanks for the info.

[@JonHowardPhotos]

I wonder if recording in multiples of 30 is the cause since electricity is 60 hertz. Perhaps that’s a good reason to record 24 fps.

Me too I didn’t try it because i had an iPhone 6s before and didn’t know those “modes”

[@exoticedits2010]

Yes same as mine

[@nightwaves3203]

Your slow motion light flickering is probably diode lighting. Most diode lights have a certain fast rate they are flashing in not perceivable by eye. A camera taking timed photos can pick up the on and off. It's like looking at diode lights in a cars rear lights with a digital camera and seeing lights blinking when just by naked eyes you don't see the blinking.

[@WilyTuber]

Great overview. You missed only ONE feature! In the photo option the volume rockers not only take a photo, they will take multiple exposures if either is held down with a counter indicating the number of shots taken! This is VERY COOL! Good for fashion photography. Also would be helpful to indicate WHERE photos are stored.

[@DHTV]

That’s true I missed it in this video. I’m posting an updated camera video tonight with all the features covered.

When you say it isn’t working what do you mean? You accessing video mode but nothing happens?

[@HinaShah5]

Thank you so much for replying the problem is when I shoot the video while shooting I can’t pause it. The only option I see is Red button Which one only stops or shoot. In your video you mentioned everything very well for new users of iPhone but can’t see this Tip or trick in your video too. Is there any way to Pause the video while shooting?

[@Abychan1]

I think the flicker on your slo-mo is due to the lighting you're using. It has a frequency which is not compatible to use for video shooting

[@twostrudelsplease2511]

The flashing in the slo mo video is because That’s the result of the alternating current passing through your light devices. It’s also why city lights flicker from a distance, the speed of light is quite modest.

[@DHTV]

Well said. I figured it out shortly after the video. I should have known since my DSLR does the same...

[@EventEventos]

Hello and thanks for the info, great video indeed. I only have one question: How can I have my Iphone 8 plus camera screen without showing the "1x" and "2x" in the middle of it at the bottom ? I use the Iphone to record my videos directly on Screenflow, and when I do, Screenflow is capturing on my footage that 1x icon inside this circle (or 2x, it changes when I press on it). That 1x however disappears when I turn the camera into "selfie" mode. I hope Im making myself clear. Thanks a lot!

[@DHTV]

Unfortunately you can’t remove it as it’s built into the app. It’s to allow you to zoom in and out. The only suggestion would be to download a different camera app in the App Store.

[@DHTV]

It’s the lights used that cause the flickering. Also the iPhone front selfie camera isn’t as good.
