Take videos with your iPad camera
Use Camera to record videos on your iPad and change modes to take slow-motion and time-lapse videos.
Record a video
Choose Video mode.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start recording.
Pinch the screen to zoom in and out.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to stop recording.
By default, video records at 30 fps (frames per second). Depending on your model, you can choose other frame rates and video resolution settings in Settings > Camera > Record Video. Faster frame rates and higher resolutions result in larger video files.
Note: For your security, a green dot appears at the top of the screen when Camera is in use. See Control access to hardware features.
Use quick toggles to change video resolution and frame rate
In Video mode, you can display quick toggles to change the video resolution and frame rates available on your iPad. To display quick toggles in Video mode, go to Settings > Camera > Record Video, then turn on Video Format Control.
Record a slow-motion video
Choose Slo-mo mode.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start and stop recording.
To set a portion of the video to play in slow motion and the rest at regular speed, tap the video thumbnail, then tap Edit. Slide the vertical bars below the frame viewer to define the section you want to play back in slow motion.
Depending on your model, you can change the frame rate and resolution. The faster the frame rate and the higher the resolution, the larger the resulting video file.
To change Slo-mo recording settings, go to Settings > Camera > Record Slo-mo.
Capture a time-lapse video
Choose Time-lapse mode.
Set up your iPad where you want to capture a sunset, traffic flowing, or other experience over a period of time.
Tap the Record button to start recording; tap it again to stop recording.
Adjust Auto FPS settings
On models that support Auto FPS, iPad can improve the video quality in low-light situations by automatically reducing the frame rate to 24 fps.
Go to Settings > Camera > Record Video, then do one of the following:
On iPad Air (4th generation), tap Auto FPS, then apply Auto FPS to only 30-fps video or to both 30- and 60-fps video (iPadOS 14.2 or later).
On iPad Pro 11-inch and iPad Pro 12.9-inch (3rd generation and later), turn on Auto Low Light FPS.
