By comparison, the iPhone 6s appears to snap to the correct focus point almost instantly.

It’s also interesting to see how the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus appear to still have an edge over the Note 5 when it comes to continuous auto focus as in this scene the Note 5 takes some time to recognize that the subject of the video is out of focus and some contrast AF bracketing is used to verify the correct focus point. However, Apple’s EIS is quite good compared to something like the Galaxy Note 5’s video OIS due to its rather unnatural dampening effect, in which there are pockets of local stability punctuated by no stabilization at all. If you’re not careful about holding the phone relatively still EIS is going to feel a bit limiting. When comparing the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6 for general image stabilization quality it feels like they’re both pretty much identical. For all other modes, encoder settings appear to be constant with variations in bit rate based upon frame rate and resolution. It’s likely that mono audio is used because the microphone setup doesn’t really support stereo audio, but in future iterations it would definitely be interesting to see stereo audio recording. AAC at about 84 Kbps in a single channel is also carried over from the iPhone 6. Apple iPhone 6s Encodingįor 1080p30 video, Apple continues to use H.264 high profile encoding at around 17 Mbps bit rate, which is carried over from the iPhone 6.
In order to test these changes, we rely on relative testing between two phones to see how both perform in terms of video stability, resolution, and exposure/focus quality. It’s interesting to see this change, as in the past it looked like Apple was solely relying on their EIS mechanisms to smooth out video instead of using OIS. Interestingly enough, for the iPhone 6s Apple has also added 1080p120 slow motion video capture along with OIS in video recording for the iPhone 6s Plus.
This is a major highlight for the iPhone 6s’ this year as the main reason for increasing the resolution of the sensor is primarily to enable 4K video recording. Now that we’ve discussed still image quality we can start to look at video quality.
