How to toggle slow-motion speed on iPhone 6 and 6 Plus

As is typically the case, Apple’s latest iPhone offerings bring improvements to the camera on both devices. Beyond both the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus both offering 60 frames per second (FPS) video capture, both devices also offer two capture speeds for slow-motion video.

When the slow-motion feature first launched on the iPhone line, the videos were captured at 120 FPS. When played back at the normal 30 fps rate, the video was slowed down four fold, providing the slow-motion effect.

The new iPhones still offer 120 FPS slow-motion capturing, along with the new default of 240 FPS.

To toggle between the two different speeds, you’ll need to launch the Camera app and swipe to the right until the “SLO-MO” option is selected.

Displayed in the corner of the viewfinder will be either “120 FPS” or “240 FPS.” Whichever listing is shown is the current speed at which the device will capture slow-motion footage.

To switch to the alternate option, just tap on the label. It’s that simple. The label changes each time you tap it, representing the current setting.
