Hi,
I have an iphone 16 pro and I know there SHOULD be a depth (f) function when I want to record a VIDEO
(I'm not talking about photos).
Why is it showing the ''f'' but it's dark and NOT working, it's not yellow colored like the other functions.
What can I do please?
iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 18
No you have to be in Cinematic to have the depth effect.
You have to be in 1080p HD, but not sure what FPS might be excluded.
You’re welcome. For stills you need to be saving your images as HEIF. Then you’ll have both the styles function and depth function (f/number) when you edit in Apple Photos app. You’ll also have Styles before you shoot in Camera app.
As far as I know the depth function is only in Cinematic. I don’t edit video in Photos, but I suspect it is available. Maybe post in the Photos app community here,

Thanks Jeff,
I wish I knew that yesterday...I spend hours searching and figuring out WHY I didn't have the F funcion.
Thanks, I appreciate you replied.
While you're helping me, I have one other issue that I see people edit photos and video and when tapping the edit on a photo or video, you should also see that F function or tone styles.
However, when I open a video or photo, it's not showing me the Depth or styles.
Is that ONLY when taking cinematic videos?
Sadly, that's not helping as I've tried to switch several times and still no depth function....
I’m doing the following,
1080p HD, HDR off, Apple ProRes off, and Cinematic mode.
What exact settings are you using?
Hi Jeff,
Thanks. I want to use VIDEO, 1080p HD, HDR off, Apple ProRes off
Is it not possible in video only?
