# automaticallyAdjustsCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled

Controls whether cinematic video metadata capture is automatically managed by the framework.

## Declaration

```swift
var automaticallyAdjustsCinematicVideoMetadataCaptureEnabled: Bool { get set }
```

## Discussion

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.
