# automaticallyAdjustsCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled Controls whether cinematic video metadata capture is automatically managed by the framework. ``` var automaticallyAdjustsCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled: Bool { get set } ``` ## Discussion When this property is `true` (the default), the framework manages `cinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled` automatically. The framework decides when to enable cinematic video metadata capture; capture is not guaranteed even when `cinematicVideoMetadataCaptureSupported` is `true`. Clients that need explicit control over whether metadata is captured should set this property to `false` and manage `cinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled` directly. When this property is `false`, `cinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled` is not automatically managed and must be explicitly set by the client. Setting this property from `true` to `false` sets `cinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled` to `false`. This property can be set before calling `-[AVCaptureSession startRunning]` or within `-[AVCaptureSession beginConfiguration]` and `-[AVCaptureSession commitConfiguration]` while the session is running. Default value: `true`. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
