iPhone 4S... Confused?

[Buchanan0204]

Been playing with the new iPhone 4s today. Took a video with it... only to discover it was no where near 1080p.

It was actually.

Have I missed something totally obvious? Is there a setting to up the res?

 

[Talbs13]

Does it look HD?

 

[SDK^]

There is no setting to change the resolution, it always records 1080p. Those size properties above are probably reporting something else.

How did you export it? That resolution is what iOS uses when uploading to things like You Tube, sending via email etc.

I don't think I'm that daft that I took a note of the wrong video

Looks like that was the issue. I emailed it to myself. Thought it would be easier than plugging it into iTunes. A bit rubbish you don't have the option to email the full size video. Doesn't take too long over wifi. Ah well.

Cheers for solving the mystery.

Most mailboxes won't be able to accept an attachment the size of a 1080 video

iPhone 4S 1080p video is about 200mb per minute

I4 battery is very bad, with WiFi consumption for a few hours out.

I think we are all more than aware of what 1080p is.
