Experiment and have fun.

What follows are reference slides about HEIF and HEVC.HEIF is a photo file format. HEVC is video format.

This would pertain to users of iPhone 7s and later and 2017 iPad Pro models.

New Photo File Format HEIC High Efficiency Image Container in place of jpg

Started in iOS11 with iPhone 7 and newer 2017 iPad Pro Requires High Sierra 10.13 on Mac

Apple calls it HEIC C is for Container

Advantage: Better Quality and Less File Space

You can turn off using HEIF in iOS settingshttps://www.lifewire.com/what-is-heif-4145411

Shot as JPG

3.2 MB File

Live Photo HDR

HEIC not JPG 1.6 MB file

HEIC 50% smaller than the JPG

Both images had almost same pixel dimensions.

Limited function on older Mac OS and older iOS devices.

Capturing this media When using iOS 11, the following devices can capture media:

• iPhone 7 or iPhone 7 Plus or later• iPad Pro (10.5 inch)• iPad Pro 12.9-inch (2nd generation)

If you're using iCloud Photo Library with iOS 10 or macOS Sierra or older, you might see in the upper-right corner of the photo or video, or you might see an alert message.
