In filmmaking, the term \u201cracking focus\u201d or \u201cpulling focus\u201d means that focus is shifted to one subject or object in the frame to divert the viewer\u2019s attention.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-755323\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/iphone13.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"iPhone 13\" width=\"650\" height=\"384\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro models (including mini and Max versions) are able to use this mode to capture up to 1080p at up to 30 frames per second, in Dolby Vision HDR. Since the vast majority of cinematic productions use 24 frames per second (24p), the frame rate limitation shouldn\u2019t be a huge concern, but higher resolution footage would have been nice.<\/p>\n<p>Once you\u2019ve shot your video you can use keyframes to add focus pulls at set intervals, effectively allowing you to focus on any object in frame that was acceptably in focus for the duration of the shot.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-755324\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/cinematic_mode_iphone.png?trim=1,1&amp;bg-color=000&amp;pad=1,1\" alt=\"Cinematic Mode on iPhone 13\" width=\"650\" height=\"347\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Apple<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Apple states that it has adjusted its autofocus algorithms to be able to intelligently identify and track subjects you might want to focus on too. You can take control of the feature simply by tapping on a subject or object in the frame. Tap again and the camera will track that object, with an \u201cAF Tracking Lock\u201d notification appearing on-screen.<\/p>\n<p>Apple says the iPhone 13 will even anticipate subjects entering the screen, and automatically racks focus away from a subject when they perform certain actions like looking away from the camera.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>Why the iPhone 12&#8217;s Dolby Vision HDR Recording Is a Big Deal<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_Cinematic_Mode_Works\"><\/span>How Cinematic Mode Works<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Apple has produced a short film called Whodunnit they shot using Cinematic Mode and that shows off how well the <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/technology\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"4\" title=\"Technology\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">technology<\/a> works. The results are promising, with fluid focus pulls that don\u2019t seem to suffer from overzealous racking where the camera overshoots the focus point before pulling back and settling down.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8Tl1RL8MRCA\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=8Tl1RL8MRCA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This fluidity is likely due to the way Apple has implemented the feature using some software wizardry. Cinematic Mode makes use of both cameras on the back of the iPhone 13 (and two of the three cameras on the back of the iPhone 13 Pro) to create a depth map of the scene.<\/p>\n<p>The iPhone then uses this data to simulate the desired aperture, creating a shallow depth of field effect provided you have enough depth in the shot in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Since the distance between the sensor and the lens in the iPhone is so small (known as the flange focal distance in interchangeable lens cameras), creating significant depth in the shot is much harder than with a comparable mirrorless or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/63474\/the-best-beginner-dslrs\/\">digital SLR<\/a>.
