Dolby Vision on Apple iPhone 12 smartphones with restrictions
Source: Pure PC added 29th Oct 2020Dolby Vision is nothing more than a video quality standard that surpasses standard HDR with the number of recorded dynamic metadata. This is of course a generalization, but thanks to the use of this technology it is possible to obtain shots that show the full potential of the image. The problem is that for a video recorded in the above-mentioned format, you need compatible equipment – a TV, smartphone or other appropriately marked device. What if we dream of recording movies in Dolby Vision? Well, today a smartphone from the Apple iPhone family 12 is enough for this. However, in this case, you need to be aware of several limitations and inconveniences caused by using the solution. Here they are.
New Apple iPhone smartphones 12 and 12 Pro can handle Dolby Vision video recording, but you need to know how to get it. There are limitations.
Apple iPhone 12 officially – 4 5G smartphone models for everyone
The weight of Dolby Vision compatible video files is higher than that of standard recording. All because of the amount of data stored in it, which determine the quality and full possibilities of recording and reading the image. In addition, recording this type of video requires more computing power. Fortunately, the Apple A processor 14 Bionic available in the entire iPhone family 12 copes with it without major obstacles. However, please note that only the iPhone 12 Pro and 12 Pro Max are able to record Dolby Vision in 4K resolution at 60 FPS. Apple iPhone users 12 have to be content 30 frames per second.
Apple iPhone 12 Pro will cost you 28 working days: What about others?
Who needs this knowledge? Well, most people use the maximum video settings on their iPhone and that means Dolby Vision mode doesn’t automatically trigger. So we need to lower the frame rate to 30. What else you need to remember is that you need to select HDR Video in the Camera app settings. This information will also be useful when you want to reduce battery consumption while recording. HDR mode with Dolby Vision shows a noticeably increased appetite for energy.
