In this guide, we show you how you can record with both front and rear cameras of your iPhone 17 or iPhone 17 Pro. This is perfect for recording reaction videos, travel vlogs, interviews, tutorials, and more.
When you use iPhone’s Dual Capture Mode, you can record your face with the front camera and whatever is in front of you using the rear camera.
On older models of iPhone, you had to rely on third-party apps to record with both cameras at the same time. However, with the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple has introduced the Dual Capture Video Mode, which records both front and rear cameras at the same time and combines the footage in a single clip.
Use Dual Capture Video Mode on iPhone
Here’s how you can start using this feature.
- Unlock your iPhone and launch the Camera app.
- Switch to the Video recording mode.
- Now tap on the Dual Capture button located in the top-right corner.
- As soon as you do this, you will get the preview of both front and rear cameras. Now hit the record button to start recording.
While recording, you can move the smaller preview window around the screen. Remember, your video will show the window wherever you place it during video recording.
That’s it, this is how you can take advantage of the Dual Capture Video Mode on your iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Plus, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max and record with both front and rear-facing cameras simultaneously.
This feature is great for recording reaction videos, tutorial demonstrations, interview-style content, unboxing videos, and more.
