Camera shortcuts
Open Video Mode
Opens the Camera app to the Video mode. If Preserve Settings is enabled, opens to your last-specific settings.
Open Portrait Mode
Opens Portrait mode in the Camera app. If Preserve Settings is used, the Portrait Zoom level stays between shots instead of being reset to default.
Open Portrait Selfie Mode
Opens the Portrait camera to the Selfie mode – my preferred way to take selfies, but one I forget to use (until now).
Open Pano Mode
Opens the Pano mode in the Camera app – use this for shooting panoramas that you can view later on the Apple Vision Pro.
Open Slo-Mo Mode
Opens the Slo-Mo mode in the Camera app – mine is set to 1080p 240 fps.

Show the Workflow tag on MacStories
Opens the tag page on the MacStories website for stories marked with “Workflow,” the original version of the Shortcuts app – these stories introduced me to the app before I joined the team. So, uh, thanks Federico!
