Record ProRes videos with your iPhone camera
On supported models, you can use Camera to record and edit videos in ProRes, which offers higher color fidelity and less compression.
ProRes is available on all cameras, including the front camera. ProRes isn’t supported in Cinematic, Time-lapse, or Slo-Mo mode.
Note: ProRes videos result in larger file sizes.

Record a video with ProRes
Open Camera, select Video mode, then tap

Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start recording.
While recording with the rear camera, you can pinch to zoom in or out, tap .5x, 1x, 2x, 3x, and 5x (depending on your model) to switch between lenses, or touch and hold the lens chooser, then slide the dial for more precise zoom control.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to stop recording.
