Did You Know About This Hidden iPhone 17 Front Camera Feature?

The iPhone 17 series from Apple gives big creators a major upgrade, letting them film videos with great quality using the front camera without any manual rotating of the phone.

The iPhone 17’s new front camera is built on a square image sensor along with the enhanced Center Stage feature. Center Stage keeps an eye on people during a video call, and it is the new sensor that permits the users to record high-quality videos in both portrait and landscape orientations without any interruption. The outcome is: the front camera footage will be smoother, and ready for YouTube.

Devices with the new orientation feature

The whole iPhone 17 range, which consists of iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, and iPhone Air, receives the improved front camera sensor.

Apple iPhones with front cameras have 18MP resolution, the one on its iPhone 14 models was 12MP. However, the critcumstance of pro-level cameras with a powerful sensor and smart software enables the mobile to modify framing based on the situation. Users can now take the phone without tilting it physically for switching between orientations, thus making it more comfortable and not losing a steady grip while recording videos.

How to use the hidden front camera trick

Activating the new feature is a simple task:

1. Go to the camera application and change the lens to the front.

2. Search for the icon for the Orientation switch that is located above the shutter button. By tapping it, you can alternate between portrait and landscape modes in no time.

3. A nearby Simplified Zoom button allows users to practice framing fast without numeric indicators available in photo mode.

4. A quick-settings icon at the top opens the Center Stage options, where the 'auto-zoom' and 'auto-rotate' features can be toggled. Enabling these functions will disable manual control for orientation and zoom, thus the users can opt for either automation or full control.
