Many of the features that phones typically come with are disabled due to storage requirements. So, if this isn't met, your phone won't be able to take advantage of the most useful functions for capturing and recording 4K video. The standard capture is 1080p at 30FPS, but that's not the main topic right now. The first thing you need to do is enable the 4K video option.
How to enable 4K video recording on your iPhone 6s and 6s Plus
- Open the settings app and go to the “Photos and camera".
- Enter to "Camera” and click on “Record a video".
- Select the option “4k at 30fps"To enable the feature on your iPhone. Switch from OFF to ON to enable it."

Once you've enabled the 4K video option, any video you record from now on will be in ultra-high-resolution 4K. You can verify this by opening the Camera app and looking for the "4K" button in the upper right corner.
4K resolution is so new that it's possible that you might make a 4K video and then, when you want to watch it on a TV or laptop, it won't be able to display the full quality of the video.
But if you're not a fan of videos and prefer taking photos, you can also do that using 4K resolution. So, if you want to adjust your SD camera to HD for 4K video, you just need to know the following:
- 60MB with 720p video.
- 130MB with HD video at 1080p at 30 FPS, which is usually the default setting.
- 200MB with HD at 1080p at 60 FPS.
- And finally, 375MB in 4k resolution.
As you can see, capturing a 4K video takes up three times more storage space than a video with standard settings . In fact, when recording 4K videos, you need plenty of storage space, otherwise you'll run out of space halfway through the process. Or, you might have to start deleting files to make room for the 4K captures.
