Record Both Sides of the Story with Dual Capture
Ever wanted to capture a stunning view and your reaction to it at the same time? With the iPhone 17 series, you no longer have to choose between being the storyteller and being in the story.
What is Dual Capture?
Dual Capture is a new video feature available on the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. It allows you to record footage using both the front-facing TrueDepth camera and the rear camera system simultaneously. This creates a single video file that captures two perspectives at once, making it an essential tool for vloggers, interviewers, and social media creators across Egypt.
How to Record Dual Capture Video
Setting up a professional-grade multi-cam shoot is now as simple as a few taps in your Camera app.
Step 1: Open the Camera app on your iPhone 17.
Step 2: Swipe to select Video mode.
Step 3: Tap the Camera Controls button, then select Dual Capture.
Step 4: Choose your preferred layout, such as Split View or Picture-in-Picture, by tapping the screen options.
Step 5: Tap the Record button or click the Camera Control to start filming.
Step 6: Tap the Dual Capture button again when you wish to return to standard single-camera recording.

Pro Tip: Perfect Your Layout
When using Dual Capture, think about your lighting for both sides. If you are filming a sunset in Egypt using the rear lens while recording your reaction with the front lens, ensure your face isn't silhouetted. Using a tripod or a stable surface is highly recommended to keep the rear footage steady while you move naturally in the front-facing frame.
