“New feature for iPhone 13 Pro: portrait mode for video”

Apple will add new camera features to the next iPhones. According to a reliable source, the iPhone 13 Pro (Max) can shoot videos in portrait mode. This produces a nice depth of field effect.

‘iPhone 13 camera can take portrait videos’

Current iPhones already have a portrait mode for photos, of course, but this function was not available for video. That will soon change. Mark Gurman from Bloomberg writes that the iPhone 13 Pro will also get a portrait mode for video.

The iPhone 7 Plus was the first iPhone to have a portrait mode for photos. With this function you can take photos where the subject remains sharp and the background is blurred. The amount of blur, or depth of field, can be adjusted afterwards.

High quality video

However, the new features are not limited to just a portrait mode for video. The iPhone 13 can also use the ProRes video format, writes the Bloomberg journalist.

Higher quality video recordings are then possible. ProRes offers support for resolutions up to 8K, but the next iPhones will go to a video resolution of 4K, according to Bloomberg.

Gurman also indicates that this feature “may be reserved” for the most expensive models, i.e. the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Editing picture’s

In addition, several new filters are added to improve your photos afterwards. Post-editing is already possible on current iPhones, but with the iPhone 13, Apple goes further than that.

You can apply the new filters to areas of photos, Gurman says. For example, you can make parts in the photo look warmer, without giving the entire snapshot a yellow glow. The current filters can only be applied to the entire photo.
