Live Photos Shown Off In New Hands-On VideoOne of the brand new features for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus is Live Photos, which captures an additional 3 seconds of video around a still image and plays it through when a user 3D Touches the photo. We went hands on with the new feature and experimented with it.

<center>Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.</center> To use Live Photos, a user just has to take a normal photo when the "live" icon in the upper center of the screen is lit up. The iPhone automatically captures 1.5 seconds of video before and after the photo and stitches it all together. Because Live Photos combines video and still images, the new format takes up
double the space a regular photo would.
While reviewers were
largely positive on Live Photos,
first impressions from users haven't been as kind.
MacRumors forum member
kungxpao said that he turned the feature off after a few test shots. However, some users see potential in the feature, like fellow forum member
Conan86.
Live Photo is a great feature when you create them intentionally. I hope Apple would allow us to remove accidental "live" portions of a photo as I probably wouldn't hold 3 seconds to take a photo every single time.
Only the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus can create Live Photos, but they are viewable on all iOS 9 devices and Macs running OS X El Capitan. Eventually, Live Photos will also be shareable on social media services like Facebook and Instagram.
