Looking for a way to shoot more dynamic videos? The slow motion feature on your iPhone or iPad offers the possibility to record your videos in slow motion, giving your videos a cool and professional effect. You can make a slow motion video directly with the camera of your iPhone or iPad and easily edit it later in the Photos app. Read on quickly, because we will explain how the function works!
What is the slow-mo feature on iPhone and iPad?
The slowmo function is built into the Camera app of your iPhone or iPad as standard. The function ensures that the images you record are slowed down. It is therefore an effect with which you can easily create a unique video. No wonder that the function is also used a lot by filmmakers.
How does the slow-mo function work?
Normally, the camera on your iPhone or iPad shoots 60 frames per second. What happens when you use the slow motion function is that the number of frames that are recorded doubles to 120 frames per second. This creates the illusion that everything is moving slower than it actually does. The newer iPhones even have the super slowmo function where even more frames are recorded per second. This makes the videos play back even slower. Perfect for seeing the smallest details!
On which devices can I use the feature?
Making slowmo movies is possible on every iPhone 5s or later. On the iPhone 8 or later it is even possible to use the super slowmo. In addition, the function can also be used on the newer versions of the iPad (mini).
How do I make a slow motion recording?
- Open the camera app on your iPhone or iPad
- Scroll through the different movie options above the record button and select 'Slow motion'
- Click the red record button or one of your sound buttons to start the video

How do I edit the slow motion recording I made?

- Select the video and tap 'Change' at the top right
- A yellow frame will appear at the bottom of the screen around part of your video
- Move the frame right or left to move the effect
