Dual camera at games: the play and the sideline
Game footage without the sideline is half a memory. Dual video records the field on the back camera and the watching parent, fan or bench on the front — the goal and the eruption, genuinely synchronized because both are exposed in the same instant.
Short answer: Selfie shoots photos and videos with the front and back cameras at the same time, picture-in-picture, with 50+ vintage camera presets that apply to both. One tap captures both perspectives — no stitching, no second take.
Ideas that work
- The kid’s goal: the play on one camera, your reaction on the other — the clip the family group chat actually wants.
- Derby day with friends: screen or stadium on the back camera, the sofa crowd on the front.
- Race finishes and PBs: the finish line and the cheering section, one file with the roar.
How to set it up
- Open Selfie in Dual mode (the default).
- Drag the picture-in-picture window to the corner you want, and pick a frame color if you like.
- Optionally pick a camera preset — 35mm film, instant, VHS and 50+ more render live on both cameras.
- Tap the shutter for a photo, or switch to video mode and record with sound.
Frequently asked questions
Are the two views taken at exactly the same time? Yes. Selfie runs both cameras in one capture session using Apple’s multi-cam engine, so front and back are exposed simultaneously — not one after the other.
Can I record video this way? Yes — dual video records both cameras at once, with microphone audio.
Can I choose which camera is the big view? Yes, and the small window can sit in any corner, with a choice of frame colors.
What does it cost? Selfie is free to download and try. The Pro subscription (weekly or annual) unlocks unlimited dual-camera shots and all premium presets.
