iPhone Video Zoom During Playback

Zooming during video playback

There’s little skill involved in mastering the technique of this trick.

Simply open up your “Photos” app and select one of your videos. Press the Play Button to start playback, then use the pinch-to-zoom gesture to check out the details of your video. You can zoom in and out using the gesture, or shift the magnified portion around using two fingers and a dragging motion.

Hint: This technique applies to all video types, including “Slo Mo”

Depending upon your iPhone model, the quality might suffer a little when zooming into noisy low-light shots. While Apple hasn’t yet developed CSI Miami style “enhancement” for deciphering number plates or tiny details in your shots, you should now be able to spot a lot more of the hidden secrets of your videos.
