So, if you just bought the new iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, you can capture 4K cinematic video in just a few simple steps. It's a great feature, and anyone can capture cinema-style video with this specific video mode.

The 4K recording feature is not enabled by default on your new iPhone 14 Pro series; it must therefore be activated manually. Here are some simple steps to enable cinematic mode in 4K on the iPhone 14 Pro.

1. First, open the Settings app on your iPhone, scroll down and tap on Camera.

2. On the Camera Settings screen, tap the Record Cinematic option.
