How to Change FPS for Video on iPhone Camera?

If you’re a fan of shooting videos with your iPhone, you might want to know how to change the FPS (frames per second) settings for your camera.

The FPS stands for frames per second. It means how many images are captured in one second of video. FPS is directly proportional to the quality of the video. Higher FPS indicates more realistic video. The default FPS setting for the iPhone camera is 30, which is good enough for most situations. However, you might want to change it depending on what kind of video you’re making. For example, if you’re shooting a fast-paced action scene, you might want to increase the FPS to 60 or even 120 to capture every detail of the movement. On the other hand, if you’re going for a cinematic or artistic effect, you might want to lower the FPS to create a more dramatic or stylized look.
