iPhone and iPad: How to change the camera format for videos and photos

If you are already an iPhone user, you will imagine that the process that I am going to describe is extremely simple. If you have just released your first iPhone, it will surprise you . To change the format in which your iOS devices capture photos or record videos, all you have to do is follow these steps:

1. First, open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Scroll to the Camera section. Select the Formats option. In the last section, you only have to choose between one of the two available options: High efficiency or The most compatible . Select the one you want to use and go back.
