Take videos with your iPod touch camera
Use Camera to record videos on your iPod touch and change modes to take slow-motion and time-lapse videos.
Note: For your privacy, a green dot appears in the top-right corner of the screen when Camera is in use. See Control access to hardware features on iPod touch.
Record a video
Choose Video mode.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start recording.
Pinch the screen to zoom in and out.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to stop recording.
To choose other frame rates and video resolution settings, go to Settings > Camera > Record Video.
You can also turn on quick toggles to switch resolution options while in Video mode: go to Settings > Camera > Record Video, then turn on Video Format Control.
Record a slow-motion video
When you record a video in Slo-mo mode, your video records as normal and you see the slow-motion effect when you play it back. You can also edit your video so that the slow-motion action starts and stops at a time you choose.
Choose Slo-mo mode.
Tap the Record button or press either volume button to start and stop recording.
To set a portion of the video to play in slow motion and the rest at regular speed, tap the video thumbnail, then tap Edit. Slide the vertical bars below the frame viewer to define the section you want to play back in slow motion.
Capture a time-lapse video
Capture footage at selected intervals to create a time‑lapse video of an experience over a period of time—such as a setting sun or traffic flowing.
Choose Time-lapse mode.
Set up your iPod touch where you want to capture a scene in motion.
Tap the Record button to start recording; tap it again to stop recording.
