You can tap the magnification button near the shutter button to change cameras.

There are several ways to zoom in and out while recording. But sometimes it's better to do so than miss a moment. Rarely when I'm recording a video do I switch between cameras. The iPhone's new Zoom Dial makes zooming look better The same applies to the iPhone 11, where recording video at a 2x magnification will look decent still. For example, if I'm on the iPhone 11 Pro I feel comfortable shooting at 3x in bright situations. With that said, a little digital zoom in good lighting isn't going to degrade your video's image quality too much. As a rule, I try to stay at 1x, 2x or 0.5x on the iPhone 11 Pro and 1x and 0.5x on the iPhone 11. Otherwise, if you zoom to, say, 1.9x or 6x magnification, you're actually using digital zoom, which can degrade the image quality, making it look soft and blotchy. When you film at any of those magnifications, you get the best optical quality available to you. The 11 Pro has a third 'telephoto' camera with 2x magnification. The iPhone 11's main camera has 1x magnification and the ultrawide-angle camera has 0.5x magnification. Optical zoom is when the camera shoots at its natural magnification.

Not all zooming is created equalĪn iPhone, like most camera phones, has both optical zoom and digital zoom. The iPhone will keep these settings until you touch the screen again or adjust the brightness slider further. AE/AF LOCK stands for auto exposure/autofocus lock. If you want to lock your exposure, tap and hold on the screen until the yellow focus/exposure square pulsates and 'AE/AF LOCK' appears on your screen.
