ATTENTION:
*The modes expressed are available in the iPhone 5S only. Each device offers different configurations. We recommend iPhone 5S or iPhone5 to take the maximum experience.
*Slow Motion available only in last generation hardware.
2K recording is only available in latest hardware. Specially designed for the iPhone 5S, but also works on iPhone5 and similar iPads.
As with high end cameras, 2K recordings are tough to playback, so you may need to use the “Render Proxy” function in the player to create a more playable version
VFXWarrior is to blame. Sure beats a lame RAW meat gag on April 1.
