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. The faster the frame rate and the higher the resolution, the larger the resulting video file.

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.

On models that support Auto FPS, when you take time-lapse 1080p video at 30 fps under low-light conditions, iPad can automatically reduce the frame rate to 24 fps to improve the video quality. Go to Settings > Camera > Record Video, then turn on Auto Low Light FPS.
