(UPDATE (some hours later): 720p 60 fps mode now works just great! Scroll down to the first update!) While the camera of the iPhone 4S is pretty decent for taking videos, it has some major problems – as had the iPhone 4. The default 1080p mode the stock Camera application records in:
1. has quite bad low-light performance
2. has a pretty narrow (around 43-44mm equivalent) field-of-view (FoV), which is even a bit narrower than most consumer video cameras
(3. there is no way of setting the frame rate, which is always around 30 frames per second (FPS))
Let's take a look at how each of these problems can be (quite easily!) fixed!
