Brilliant video! Thank you for all the advice my photos are so much better now! Best wishes and take care.

Clear. Simple. Direct. I was originally only looking to see how I could switch from HEIC to JPG format (for the exact reasons you mentioned), but I'm happy to make other practical adjustments. Thanks.

Great video, wasn’t too fast.
I’ve adjusted my camera setting so thanks for that 😊

Do you recommend 4k at 60fps? When I’ve been recording videos at HD 60, it’s a lot smoother than the 30. Wondered if the same goes for 4k?

Going from 4:3 to 16:9 doesn’t capture more, instead it captures less, it just crops the top and bottom, it doesn’t extend to the sides.

Great info. Thanks! Do these settings work for things posted on Instagram?

Can you do how to subscribe from all the channels you subscribe to really, really quickly only with one button on iPad??

Hi David, what an awesome tip to change the ratio on photos. I add photos to almost all of my videos and spend hours resizing them to fit the 16:9 format. I never knew this was an option. You just saved me lots of time. Thanks! 🙂

[seifsplace]

Thx I have always had to reset my camera settings.

Good video! But about the 16:9 capturing more information than 4:3, I don't think it's the most accurate. When changing from 4:3 to 16:9, rather than widening the horizontal field of view, it seems the iphone actually cut the 4:3 vertically to fit the ratio, thus leading to information loss. So if shooting in the 4:3 ratio, you would always have the option to cut it to the ideal ratio, with the freedom to choose which part of the photo to abandon. But i'm no expert, so there could be more factors that I does not take into consideration.

I was just taking some photos this morning and again was not happy with the smaller (now I know) 4:3 photo. I will go take the photo again and compare. Thanks David.

Thanks for your video, not even sure why but I haven’t been happy with my iPhone photos. I’ve gone in and willy neely changed my camera settings not really knowing what I was doing. Hope following your suggestions my photos will be better!! Tc from Nevada

HELP!
I have my photos app on my mac studio on a removable drive, and had been transferring my photos from my iPhone 13 to it by connecting my phone via a cable to my mac.
Suddenly this won't work anymore, it's not letting them transfer to the application anymore.
I tried again and some are now on the Mac in finder but still will not transfer from finder to my photos saying
" this item cannot be added to your photo library Because it may be an unrecognisable file format or the file may not contain valid data"

[terwya]

Thank you. For once I was able to follow the directions and correct the settings to what you suggested. Ha Ha
