Curious about how the gimbal-like stabilization of Action mode works for the new iPhone 14 lineup? There’s growing talk in the tech space that this simple camera feature by Apple has the potential to kill Go-Pro. Below, I have gathered information on how the Action mode works on iPhone 14 and how you can turn it on.
What is Apple’s Action mode?
Action mode is integrated into the iPhone’s camera app itself, with the sole purpose of stabilizing videos that have heavy movements. The Action mode essentially enables you to shoot videos that resemble the output of a Go Pro. Based on the initial impressions, it is safe to say that Action mode is a worthy addition to the already amazing modes available on iPhone’s camera app. On top of super-steady stabilization, this video shooting mode also allows you to use Dolby Vision and HDR video recording.
Which iPhone supports Action mode?
As of now, reports from Apple suggest that only the iPhone 14 lineup will have the Action mode. And on top of that, there’s no clarification on whether they’d be rolling out Action mode for other iPhones.
How to turn on Action mode on iPhone 14
Action mode is just like any other mode on the iPhone 14’s camera app. You can swipe through the modes in the slider, choose Action mode, and shoot highly-professional action videos.
How Apple’s Action mode works on iPhone 14
Right now, we have limited information on our hand, but at the time of the launch of the iPhone 14 lineup and Action mode, Apple gave us an official statement (as confirmed by Pocket-lint) about how it works: “It uses the full sensor with more overscan and advanced roll correction to make video look incredibly stable when you’re in the middle of the action. Simply toggle it on for great-looking, smooth video without having to carry extra gear like a gimbal. It also supports Dolby Vision HDR.” Winding down The Action mode that Apple introduced is pretty interesting, and in my opinion, it has the potential to kill Go Pro with its stabilization.
