With the releases of the iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro, Apple introduced Kinematic Mode, a new means of recording video allowing you to focus and track subjects smoothly during and after shooting.
Is this the iPhone video revolution we've been waiting for?? Maybe.
What does cinematic mode do?
Cinematic mode provides smooth control over depth of field, either during video recording or after the fact. In filmmaking, the term “drag focus” O “drag focus” means that the focus is changed to a subject or object in the frame to divert the viewer's attention.
IPhone models 13 and iPhone 13 Pro (including mini and max versions) can use this mode to capture up to 1080p at up to 30 frames per second, en Dolby Vision HDR. Since the vast majority of film productions use 24 fps (24p), frame rate limiting shouldn't be a big concern, but higher resolution images would have been nice.
Once you have filmed your video, you can use keyframes to add focus jerks at set intervals, allowing you to effectively focus on any subject in the frame that was acceptably in focus during the length of the shot.
Apple claims it has tweaked its autofocus algorithms so that it can intelligently identify and track subjects that you may also want to focus on.. You can take control of the function simply by touching a subject or object in the frame. Tap again and the camera will track that object, with a notification of “AF Tracking Lock” that will appear on the screen.
Apple says the iPhone 13 It will even anticipate subjects entering the screen and automatically focus away from a subject when they perform certain actions, how to look away from the camera.

How Cinematic Mode Works
Apple has produced a short film called Whodunnit that they shot using Cinematic Mode and that shows how well the technology works.. The results are promising, with fluid focus jerks that do not appear to suffer from excessive tearing in which the camera overshoots the focus point before backing up and settling.
This fluency is likely due to the way Apple has implemented the feature using some software wizards.. Cinematic mode makes use of both cameras on the back of the iPhone 13 (and two of the three cameras on the back of the iPhone 13 Pro) to create a depth map of the scene.
Subsequently, the iPhone uses this data to simulate the desired opening, creating a shallow depth of field effect as long as you have enough depth in the shot in the first place.
Since the distance between the sensor and the lens on the iPhone is so small (known as flange focal length in interchangeable lens cameras), creating significant depth in the shot is much more difficult than with a mirrorless camera or the like. SLR digital. Hopefully, Cinematic mode will help budding filmmakers get more compelling images from their smartphones.

Limited to iPhone models 13
Since cinematic mode depends on the diagonal camera design seen on the iPhone family 13, the feature won't work its way into older devices. As is the case with night mode on the iPhone 11, third-party apps may try to bring this feature to older phones. Actually, the application Focus Live has been doing something like this since 2020.
