Q: iPhone 5s, Video Recording option is missing in Camera App. I'm shocked. How come ?

Slide the words to select the various modes. The Video option will be to the right of "Panorama"

Do the words actually slide when you try to move them left or right?

If they do, a reset may help.

Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

No content is affected by this procedure.

If you tap the HDR auto on the top of your screen the video option will appear...

I resolved this by going into Settings - Privacy and disallowing  the most recent app that I had allowed camera access. Once I removed access the video option came back straight away.

I Had the same problem and did what you said and it worked thanks mate

Hi there, I had the same problem yesterday, on iphone 6 ios 9.0.1. I could no found the option, but funny was that today, I decide to find the causes of this and the option was there. Something is wrong or missing, that is for sure.

No restar, was needed. The only think that I did was, connect the iPhone to power source to charge the battery and like I said, this morning I unplugged the device and check for the video option and it was there.

Apple, please check this funny behavior.

Thanks.

Had a similar issue. Video recording was stopping on its own, and then the video (and also slow-mo) options would disappear. By playing back a video from the photos app, I would get the options back again.

In my case, it ended up being an app called "Zoiper" that was causing the issue. After deleting the app, it never happened again! Wish I'd figured it out before my recent vacation...

This was the same solution for me. Zoiper only needed to be terminated (closed) for the camera to show video and slo-mo again for me.

Same for me with iPhone 5C on ios 7.1.2. Zoiper has it's own Settings - Select VIDEO - turned off Always Offer Video. Video option re-appeared on the Camera app.

Thanks!
