The camera function of the iPhone 13 series is often updated, and the iPhone 13 Pro | 13 Pro Max and the iPhone 13 | 13 Mini are separate columns.Of course, there are many common parts, and the explanation of the common parts is mainly written thickly in the camera function introduction of the iPhone 13 series, so please refer to that, but here it is not PRO for the camera function of the iPhone 13 Pro series.I would like to mainly tell the difference from the iPhone 13.
Organize the differences between iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13
This time, the camera to be installed is the same on iPhone 13 | 13 mini, iPhone 13 Pro | 13 Pro Max, so PRO MAX is not special as last year.Whether or not to choose MAX should be determined purely by screen size and battery capacity.
Then, the difference between the iPhone 13 Pro and the iPhone 13 is that the A15 Bionic GPU performance and installation memory capacity are different as previously reported, but from the user's point of view, the difference between the built -in camera is the largest.Even if you want to feel the built -in memory and clock speed right now, there will be few situations where you can experience the existing app.
In addition to the increasing number of telephoto cameras in the camera part of the wide -angle camera three times as much as the wide -angle camera, the wide -angle camera has a larger sensor size in the first place, and the pixel pitch has not changed, but the pixel pitch is 1..7 μm to 1.Expanded to 9μm.The caliber ratio (brightness) of the lens is also F1.6 to F1.It is brighter to 5.
3 times the telephoto camera has an optical image stabilization F2.It is much more telephoto than the 877mm equivalent (35mm format) and the conventional 55mm equivalent (same).This area is a very convenient part, so I would like to introduce it in detail later.
In addition to the ultra -wide -angle camera, the sensor size is expanded, and F2.4 to F1.It has become much brighter to 8 and has a macro function that focuses up to 2 cm in front of the lens.If you look at the angle of view alone, there is no change of 120 degrees at the diagonal angle, but it can be said that it is completely different.
In addition, LIDAR, a spatial distance sensor, is installed only on the PRO line.Based on the rough depth measurement using this, only the 13 PRO series can be performed in portrait mode night mode shooting in combination with the separation of subjects by machine learning processing.
However, when viewed as a smartphone -built camera, it is not the case that iPhone 13 is a "low -priced version".The internal camera of the iPhone 13 has the current smartphone top -class performance and image quality, but PRO has a lens with a lens in a brighter and brighter area in addition to it, and adopts a larger sensor.
Because it is equipped with the same A15 Bionic, the effects of smart HDR 4, more advanced semantic rendering, portrait mode, DEEP Fusion operation accuracy, or cinematic mode are the same as the iPhone 13, which is not PRO, but capturing images.The lens and the sensor are different.
What do you feel the difference between the brightness of the lens and the sensor size?
You will often use a wide -angle camera in everyday shooting.Or you may use a super wide angle when shooting landscape or with a distinctive composition.These two cameras have a significant difference in the scene of automatically entering the night mode because the sensor size has expanded and the lens is brighter.Especially the super wide angle is remarkable.
In the scene of the entry scene of the fighting event with a ultra wide -angle camera with ring, flower path, ceiling lighting, etc., the iPhone 13 is occasionally entered in the night mode, but in the iPhone 13 Pro consistently normal mode.I could shoot with, and the shooting result was good.
Of course, I feel that even in night view shooting.In the bright cityscape of the city, the iPhone 13 Pro series can shoot dark scenes within the normal shutter speed, rather than shooting mode that must be held for a long time like night mode.
Nowadays, there may be few opportunities to gather at restaurants and karaoke shops due to corona, but when you visit a restaurant with a partner on an anniversary, you can expect a commemorative photo that makes use of the atmosphere.If it is easy to shoot in a dark place, there should be less failure when handing it to a clerk and having it shoot.
Like the aforementioned fighting event, the interior event has many high contrast scenes, and the subject is often pulled by the black background and the subject is over, but the subject of the person is rich without jumping white.It reproduced the skin color.
It is considered that the effect of the smart HDR 4, which is wise for the separation of the subject, the middle view, and the distant view, and the development processing that draws a three -dimensional effect for each person is large.The smart HDR 4 is digging into a review of iPhone 13, but I think that the contribution balance of the entire screen has improved, and I think that it has approached a photo -like expression for smart HDR 3, which tended to be painted.
On the other hand, the three -dimensional effect of the face is a more complicated expression, and the leaves of the trees have a rich shade, and the optimization of each scene is progressing, and there is a uniform trend.Rather, it may be correct that the range and variations of machine learning processing have expanded, making it easier to output a satisfactory photo.
Telephoto camera that has tripled
So, in a situation where I still feel improvement every day for a short period of time, I feel that the bottom of the iPhone 13 Pro camera is still unknown.The diversification of machine learning processing is diversifying, so the behavior of each scene is diversifying, and it is difficult to simply explain what kind of scene.
Basically, the camera is at a level where you can feel the evolution by using it, but it is likely that the user who seeks the iPhone 13 Pro for the camera is 3 times that of the telephoto camera (77mm equivalent (77mm equivalent (77 mm equivalent).) It is an angle of view.
This angle of view is just right when shooting a bust -up portrait at a travel destination, and is also convenient for shooting around a landmark slightly away.It can be said that it has evolved as a telephoto camera in the sense that the scenery farther is closer, but it may be difficult for those who have also used telephoto cameras to shoot close views.
For example, if you were taking photos of meals in portrait mode, iPhone 12 Pro Max 2.It would have felt that it was too telephone even in 5 times telephoto, but this time it is tripled, so if it does not go further back, the whole dish will not be reflected.Of course, portrait mode can be used with wide -angle cameras, but those who have doubled may be confusing.
As a matter of fact, considering the original portrait lens, the purpose of the original telephoto, many people will consider choosing a 77mm equivalent.Especially in outdoor scenes, there are many situations where you are active, and if you have more travel opportunities with family and partners, you will feel that it was three times better.On the other hand, if the indoor use is mainly used, I think there are many scenes that are doubled.
I think that there are many people who know, but in portrait mode (and cinematic mode), it is fixed at a wide -angle camera and telephoto camera angle of view, so it is not possible to double the mode using a pinch.
Convenient macro mode, but "automatic camera switching" occurs during wide -angle and telephoto
The macro function, which achieves a very short shooting distance of 2 cm before the lens, is mounted on an ultra -wide -angle lens.This itself makes it very easy to use, but you may have to be careful.
It means that even if you are shooting with a wide -angle or telephoto lens, you will automatically switch to an ultra -wide -angle camera as you approach the distance that does not match the focus with each lens.
For example, while shooting a dish, you want to take a picture with an angle and approach it diagonally.At this time, if the angle of tilting becomes stronger, the edge of the dish will be closer to the lens, and it is judged as a macro distance and switches to an ultra -wide -angle camera.
If you were shooting with a wide -angle camera, you can double the electronic zoom, or if you use a telephoto camera, it will be 6 times the electronic zoom, so the image quality will drop.However, what makes more stress more stressful is that the framing itself changes drastically in close shooting because the camera mounting position is different.
If you re -set the target composition, this time, the camera returns to a wide -angle (or telephoto), which is determined to be the distance that can be taken with the original camera, and the confidence is changed again.Furthermore, since the incident angle of the gaze changes, the white balance etc. will change depending on the position of the light source.
In such a shooting, the edge of the plate in the foreground is almost always a blurred blur, so it is almost okay to focus on it, so if possible, I would like to shoot with a wide angle (or telephoto) camera, but switching is automatically switched.Because it is done, there is a situation that cannot be framed well.
This phenomenon is only for still image camera, and there is no automatic switching to a macro to an ultra -wide -angle camera when shooting a video.(If it occurs, the dynamic change of framing will be recorded.)
If you can turn on/off to the macro mode in the standard and telephoto camera, you can avoid this problem, but at this time it is not possible to make such settings.
The proximity shooting of the ultra -wide -angle lens itself is a wonderful thing that can be very unique, but it can also be stressed during shooting.If possible, I would like to have a response that will make it easier to use in updates.
The goodness of HDR videos is more effective
Except for the difference in the quality of the camera itself (lens, sensor size, or a telephoto camera), there is no difference in the function of the added cinematic mode.As I mentioned in the iPhone 13 review, there are some differences in the depth of subject size from the brightness of the sensor size and the brightness of the lens, so if you change the focus position later, the Pro is blurred.In some cases, the focus cannot be switched.
However, of course, there is a difference in noise in the low light scene with high quality.In addition, since the blur is natural, put the front blur subject at the edge of the frame in advance, make it blurred in advance, and add the optical blur effect in cinematic mode.
Since these parts are the photographer's specialty area, it may be considered as a "Pro" model, so it should be considered for those who use it more aggressively.
A telephoto lens equivalent to a 77mm equivalent of a telephoto lens is a video of the background with a glittering and beautiful light while busting up a person on a sunny day, or a video is applied to the subject while putting the dotted source in the background at night.If you take such a way, it will be a more dramatic video.
This time, only half a day had a chance to shoot, but as time passes, more and more people will use cinematic mode to create works.
And I would like to tell you that this cinematic mode requires HDR and cannot be changed.
The goodness of cinematic mode is not only the blur and the transition of bokeh can be seen, but also the mode of "enjoying the beauty of light by the lens description (created in an operation)".To express the beauty of light, HDR is absolutely necessary.
And this is important, but if the HDR video is not an environment where it can play it, you will not be able to enjoy the original beauty 100%.It has a peak brightness of about 500 nits or more, but I want more than 800 nits to evaluate the ability of a new camera.Speaking of Apple products, I have cleared the iPhone 11 or later OLED model or the latest iPad Air/Pro/mini, but 12 of the iPad Pro.If you look at the 9 -inch model or iPhone 13 Pro, the reality of HDR videos will increase even more.
Comparing the iPhone 13 and 13 Pro, you will not find a difference in bright outdoors, but you will see the difference in an environment where the illuminance is low, such as the interior at night.For the past few years, Apple has established the HDR display function of the entire product lineup, but it has finally become a result.
Is it a special tool for creative or a tool to use casually?
The iPhone 13 Pro -equipped camera is a camera that requires "mastering", which is unusual for Apple.After grasping the characteristics, it is necessary to use it properly and use it, but I think that you can enjoy the shooting itself with a high degree of freedom.
On the other hand, if you want to shoot casually without being aware of your use, you may find it easier to use iPhone 13.There is a image quality difference, but it is not so much.Or maybe you don't know the difference.
In terms of computational photography, the latest results, cinematic mode, can be enjoyed on both models.
In the first place, if the camera lens is different, it is a good idea to consider the choice of iPhone 13 Pro as a tool to use on your own, and if you want to enjoy shooting as a camera.
