What is the "Live Photos" feature
By default the new devices iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus, come with the new function enabled "Live Photos" in the pre-installed Camera application. However, if you do not wish to use it, you have the option to turn it off by touching the concentric circles icon.
With the function "Live Photos" enabled, every time you touch the iconic capture button to capture a photo, your device will not only take a still photo of the 12 MP, but also a video 1,5 second duration, before and after taking. In essence you will have a total video three seconds.
To play the video captured, press and hold the thumbnail (new 3D Touch feature). You will watch the video with picture and sound.

How the "Live Photos" feature works
The first thing we wondered when we heard the announcement of the "Live Photos" feature is the following:
How is it possible to shoot video before and after taking a photo without holding down the virtual shutter release button?
In fact the answer is remarkable. When opening the application with the camera turned on with the camera in the "Live Photos, registration starts and registration video. This way when you press the download button, already the device has recorded 1,5 second that preceded and will store and 1.5 second recording after taking. All other registration that has taken place is rejected. If you continue to keep the camera app open, then your device will continue to capture video temporarily until the next capture.
Why not just download video?
You may be wondering why this whole process is considered more attractive than just recording a video from your camera iPhone your? One simple answer seems to be that by leaving the possibility of a new "Live Photos" activated, you will capture moments from your daily life that are worth more than a still image and less than a recording. video, as a film. A new proposal which is expected to prove very popular.
Memory/Storage - Considerations
You should be aware that if you capture all your photos as "Live Photos, then the space occupied on your device will be doubled. In fact, keep in mind that a Live photo will require space for two photos. Perhaps for many users this may not be a particularly important fact, but if you capture a lot of photos of this kind without deleting them, then you will certainly have much less storage space available to you.
Do the photos stand out from the Live Photos?
Although the Live at photos do not cease to be photos and are therefore located in the Photos app for easy access, they remain separate. They are essentially stored and can be shared, separately. In addition you can choose to send a photo, as simple even though it has been captured, by live.

Restrictions
There are also some restrictions that apply to live downloads and we are obliged to mention them. Of course they do not negate the title "fascinating", which we gave to the new function. We hope that with the next updates of the operating system they will be fixed.
For example, you cannot abruptly move your device before or after downloading, as the abrupt movement will be recorded as video in your photo. All the Live photos record image and sound. That's the whole point. But if some of the users want only the image and motion, in fact only the visuals, what happens? It just ... doesn't work. The ability to isolate audio in a future upgrade would be a welcome development.
There is no way (so far) to edit live photos. You have a large collection of tools to edit still photos, but no tool for editing still photos. live photos. Not even the basics, (brightness, contrast, etc.). We like to think that they will be added by the Apple in the near future.
Conclusions
As a final conclusion, we could say that this is mainly a sensationalist feature, although many users are willing to try the new feature. We do not know whether it is aimed at "professionals" iPhone photographers or those who wish to record moments of certain events }, "snapshots", but it certainly paves the way for the evolution of mobile photography.
