The ability to record slo-mo videos on your iPhone 7 can come in handy when you need to record something in motion that is difficult to view at the normal framerate. Slo-mo video works by capturing more frames each second, allowing you to get a clearer view of that action when you slow it down. Your iPhone has two different options from which you can select in regard to the quality of your slo-mo video. You can elect for the video to record at a higher resolution, but with fewer frames per second, or you can elect to record at a lower resolution with more frames per second. Our tutorial below will show you where to find this setting so that you can adjust it to fit your needs.
