The square image sensor with a 95-degree field of view enables dynamic aspect ratio switching, Auto Zoom, and Auto Rotate. Key APIs introduced in iOS 26 include: AVCaptureDevice.dynamicAspectRatio for seamless orientation switching without rebuilding the capture session; AVCaptureSmartFramingMonitor for automatic face/gaze-based framing recommendations in photo capture; sensor orientation compensation via cameraSensorOrientationCompensationEnabled; and a new low-latency video stabilization mode for video calls. The session also covers how Center Stage works with AVCaptureMovieFileOutput for recordings and how to enable it programmatically for video conferencing apps not using VoIP background mode. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
