iPhone 相机有六种不同的模式（延时(Time-Lapse)摄影、慢动作(Slo-mo)、照片(Photo)、视频(Video)、照片(Photo)、人像(Portrait)和全景(Panorama)），可帮助您捕捉每一个瞬间。使用正确的 iPhone 相机设置(right iPhone camera settings)和配件，您可以在 iPhone 上轻松拍摄高品质照片和录制专业品质的视频(record professional-quality videos on your iPhone)。
然而，有时 iPhone 的摄像头会出现意想不到的变化。想象一下，由于(Imagine)相机(Camera)应用程序没有显示录制视频的选项，因此无法捕捉您孩子的第一步。可怕，对吧？在本指南中，我们解释了导致iPhone 相机设置中缺少视频(Video)模式的一些因素。我们还强调了该问题的八种可能解决方案。
1.结束正在进行的语音或视频通话
当您进行语音或视频通话时，iOS 会暂时从相机应用程序中隐藏(Camera)视频模式。(Video)这涵盖了所有通话，例如手机通话、FaceTime通话、WhatsApp通话、Zoom会议、Skype通话等。您可能没有注意到这一点，但在通话期间，“慢动作”(Slo-mo)选项也隐藏在“相机”(Camera)应用程序中。
结束任何正在进行的通话或会议，并检查是否恢复了视频(Video)选项。如果您无法结束通话，请使用下一个解决方案在通话期间录制视频。
2. 使用 QuickTake 录制视频
QuickTake是一项 iPhone 相机功能，可让您在照片(Photo)模式下录制视频。即使在进行语音或视频通话时，您 也可以录制QuickTake视频。(QuickTake)
打开相机(Camera)应用程序并按住快门按钮开始录制。快门按钮变为录制(Record)按钮。按住录制(Record)按钮的同时，将其向右滑动以锁定录制。
如果您的 iPhone 运行 iOS 14（或更高版本），请按住任一音量按钮从照片(Photos)模式录制QuickTake视频。请注意，如果您使用音量按钮录制，则无法锁定QuickTake视频。(QuickTake)您需要继续按住音量按钮才能继续录制。
注意：(Note:) QuickTake仅适用于 iPhone XS、iPhone XR 和更新的 iPhone 机型。如果您无法通过按住快门按钮录制视频，则您的 iPhone 相机可能不支持QuickTake。
3.重启iPhone
如果在您不打电话时iPhone相机(Camera)应用程序设置中缺少视频选项，请重新启动 iPhone 并再次检查。(Video)转到设置(Settings)，选择常规(General)，选择关机(Shut Down)，然后将“滑动关机”滑块向右移动。等待(Wait)您的 iPhone 完全关闭，然后按住侧边按钮重新开机。
打开相机(Camera)应用程序并检查视频(Video)模式现在是否可用。这种故障排除方法适用于某些 iPhone 用户(some iPhone users)，而其他人则抱怨一段时间后“视频(Video)”选项再次丢失。如果 iPhone 上的视频(Video)模式不断消失，请尝试下一个解决方案。
4. 保留 iPhone 相机设置
当您在会话期间更改iPhone 相机设置(iPhone camera settings)（曝光、模式、滤镜、计时器等）时，iOS 将在您关闭相机(Camera)应用程序时重置设置。如果您保留相机设置，即使关闭应用程序，对相机应用程序所做的更改也不会改变。(Camera)
Apple 支持线程(Apple support threads)上的讨论表明，一些 iPhone 用户能够通过保留相机模式(Camera Mode)设置 来阻止视频选项丢失。(Video)
转到设置(Settings)>相机(Camera)>保留设置(Preserve Settings)并打开相机模式(Camera Mode)。
重新启动您的 iPhone，启动相机(Camera)应用程序，并检查是否保留了视频(Video)选项。
5.修改相机隐私设置
如果第三方应用程序同时使用您 iPhone 的相机，相机应用程序可能会出现故障。(Camera app might malfunction)尝试禁用所有应用程序的相机访问，并查看视频(Video)模式是否返回到相机(Camera)应用程序。
前往设置(Settings)>隐私(Privacy)>相机(Camera)并关闭列表中所有应用的相机访问权限。
重新启动您的 iPhone 并检查“相机”(Camera)应用程序中现在是否可以使用视频(Video)模式。返回隐私菜单并重新启用您之前禁用的应用程序的相机访问权限。
一次为每个应用程序启用相机访问权限，并记下相机应用程序中的(Camera)视频(Video)模式。如果在授予相机访问特定应用程序的权限后视频(Video)选项丢失，请考虑从 iPhone 上卸载该应用程序。
6. 重置您的 iPhone 设置
如果问题仍然存在，请将您的 iPhone 设置(reset your iPhone settings)恢复为出厂默认设置。在设置(Settings)菜单中，选择常规(General)，然后点击重置(Reset)。然后，选择重置所有设置(Reset All Settings)，输入您的 iPhone 密码，然后在确认提示中点击重置所有设置。(Reset All Settings)
执行“设置重置”不会删除您的个人文件或应用程序。该操作只会清除与隐私、蜂窝和 Wi-Fi 连接、蓝牙(Bluetooth)、支付 ( Apple Pay )、位置等相关的设置。
7.更新iOS
在 iPhone 上运行旧的或过时的 iOS 版本？安装最新的 iOS 版本可能会消除导致问题的任何软件错误。前往“设置”(Settings) > “通用(General)” > “软件更新”(Software Update)以检查可用的 iOS 更新。
8. 回滚 iOS 更新
Beta 版(Beta)和早期的 iOS 版本通常不稳定，并且充满了破坏某些系统功能的错误。如果在安装（不稳定或Beta 版）iOS 更新后(Beta)视频(Video)选项丢失，请将您的 iPhone 回滚到稳定的 iOS 版本。请参阅本指南以了解如何降级 iOS 。(this guide on downgrading iOS)

iPhone Camera Video Settings and Options Missing? 8 Ways to Fix
The iPhone camera has six different modes (Τime-Lapѕe, Slo-mо, Photo, Video, Photo, Portrait, and Panorama) that help yoυ capture every kind of moment. With the right iPhone camera settings and accessories, you can easily take high-quality photos and record professional-quality videos on your iPhone.
Yet, there are times when things take an unexpected turn with the iPhone camera. Imagine not being able to capture your child’s first steps because the Camera app didn’t show the option to record videos. Horrible, right? In this guide, we explain some factors that cause the Video mode to go missing from iPhone camera settings. We also highlight eight possible solutions to the problem.
1. End Ongoing Voice or Video Calls
iOS temporarily hides Video mode from the Camera app when you’re making voice or video calls. This covers all calls like cellular phone calls, FaceTime calls, WhatsApp calls, Zoom meetings, Skype calls, etc. You might not notice this but the Slo-mo option is also hidden in the Camera app during calls.
End any ongoing call or meeting and check if that restores the Video option. If you can’t end the call, use the next solution to record videos during phone calls.
2. Record a Video Using QuickTake
QuickTake is an iPhone Camera feature that lets you record videos within Photo mode. You can record QuickTake videos even when you’re making voice or video calls.
Open the Camera app and hold the shutter button to start recording. The shutter button changes to a Record button. While holding the Record button, swipe it to the right to lock the recording.
If your iPhone runs iOS 14 (or newer), hold either of the volume buttons to record a QuickTake video from Photos mode. Do note that you cannot lock a QuickTake video if you record with the volume buttons. You’ll need to continue holding the volume button to keep recording.
Note: QuickTake is only available on iPhone XS, iPhone XR, and newer iPhone models. If you’re unable to record a video by holding the shutter button, your iPhone’s camera probably doesn’t support QuickTake.
3. Restart iPhone
If the Video option is missing from iPhone Camera app settings when you aren’t making phone calls, restart your iPhone and check again. Go to Settings, select General, select Shut Down, and move the “slide to power off” slider to the right. Wait for your iPhone to shut down completely and hold the side button to power it back on.
Open the Camera app and check if Video mode is now available. This troubleshooting method worked for some iPhone users, while others complained that the Video option went missing again after some time. Try the next solution if Video mode keeps disappearing on your iPhone.
4. Preserve iPhone Camera Settings
When you make changes to your iPhone camera settings (exposure, mode, filter, timers, etc.) during a session, iOS will reset the settings when you close the Camera app. If you preserve the camera settings, changes made to the Camera app remain unaltered even when you close the app.
Discussions on the Apple support threads suggest that some iPhone users were able to stop the Video option from going missing by preserving Camera Mode settings.
Go to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings and toggle on Camera Mode.
Restart your iPhone, launch the Camera app, and check if that retains the Video option.
5. Modify Camera Privacy Settings
The Camera app might malfunction if a third-party app is using your iPhone’s camera simultaneously. Try disabling camera access for all apps and see if Video mode returns to the Camera app.
Head over to Settings > Privacy > Camera and toggle off camera access for all apps on the list.
Restart your iPhone and check if Video mode is now available in the Camera app. Go back to the privacy menu and re-enable camera access for the apps you disabled earlier.
Enable camera access for each application one at a time and take note of the Video mode in the Camera app. If the Video option goes missing after granting camera access to a particular app, considering uninstalling the app from your iPhone.
6. Reset Your iPhone Settings
If the problem persists, reset your iPhone settings to factory default. In the Settings menu, select General and then tap Reset. Afterward, select Reset All Settings, enter your iPhone’s passcode, and tap Reset All Settings on the confirmation prompt.
Performing a “settings reset” won’t delete your personal files or apps. The operation will only clear settings relating to privacy, cellular and Wi-Fi connectivity, Bluetooth, payments (Apple Pay), location, and so on.
7. Update iOS
Running an old or outdated iOS version on your iPhone? Installing the latest iOS version might squash any software bug causing the problem. Go to Settings > General > Software Update to check for available iOS updates.
8. Roll Back iOS Update
Beta and early iOS versions are often unstable and filled with bugs that break certain system functionalities. If the Video option went missing after installing an (unstable or Beta) iOS update, roll back your iPhone to a stable iOS version. Refer to this guide on downgrading iOS to learn how it’s done.
Get Your iPhone Checked
If the missing Video option on the Camera app still doesn’t reappear, contact Apple Support or visit an authorized Apple Service Provider near you.
