Unable to record 240fps slow-motion video on iPhone

Record a slow-motion video

When you record a video in Slo-mo mode, your video records as normal and you see the slow-motion effect when you play it back. You can also edit your video so that the slow-motion action starts and stops at a specific time.

1. Open Camera  on your iPhone.
2. Select Slo-mo mode.
3. On supported models, you can tap  to record in Slo-mo mode with the front camera.
4. To start recording, tap the Record button, press either volume button, or click the Camera Control (on supported models).
5. You can tap the Shutter button to take a still photo while recording.
6. To stop recording, tap the Record button, press either volume button, or click the Camera Control (on supported models).

To set a portion of the video to play in slow motion and the rest at regular speed, tap the video thumbnail, then tap Edit. Slide the vertical bars below the frame viewer to define the section you want to play back in slow motion.

• Depending on your model, you can change the slow motion frame rate and resolution. To change slow-motion recording settings, go to Settings  > Camera, then tap Record Slo-mo.

Tip: Use quick toggles to adjust the video resolution and frame rate while you record. See Use quick toggles to
