How to Use Cinematic Mode on the iPhone 13 Pro

The iPhone 13 Pro’s Cinematic Mode lets you capture videos with a stunning depth-of-field effect, elevating your storytelling to a cinematic level. Follow these steps to unlock its full potential:

  1. Open the Camera App
    Launch the Camera app and swipe to select the Cinematic mode.
  2. Frame Your Shot
    Position your subject in the viewfinder. Cinematic Mode automatically detects and focuses on faces, but you can manually tap on the screen to shift focus to a different subject.
  3. Adjust Depth Control
    Use the f-stop slider to control the intensity of the background blur. A lower f-stop creates a stronger bokeh effect.
  4. Switch Focus Dynamically
    While recording, tap on different parts of the screen to change focus between subjects. The iPhone 13 Pro will also intelligently adjust focus based on movement and gaze.
  5. Record Your Video
    Press the record button and let the iPhone do the magic, maintaining smooth transitions and professional-looking focus changes.
  6. Edit Focus After Recording
    Open your recorded video in the Photos app. Tap Edit, then adjust the focus or depth-of-field as needed for the perfect result.

With Cinematic Mode, the iPhone 13 Pro transforms your videos into professional-quality masterpieces, perfect for social media, vlogging, or personal projects.
