# videoFieldMode

A setting that tells the connection how to interlace video flowing through it.

```
var videoFieldMode: AVVideoFieldMode { get set }
```

## Discussion

The property only applies to a video connection and when [`isVideoFieldModeSupported`](/documentation/AVFoundation/AVCaptureConnection/isVideoFieldModeSupported) is <doc://com.apple.documentation/documentation/Swift/true>.
