There’s another iPhone camera trick that you might be interested in.

But this can be tricky to do sometimes while recording on an iPhone.

And it can often leave you with a jittery zoom, which won’t look good in final footage.

First open your camera app up.

The press and hold on the shutter button to begin recording video.

Then simply drag your finger up or down the screen to zoom in or out respectively.

This means you can create ultra-smooth zooms with just one hand.

You can do this from the photo or video modes in the camera app.
