The iPhone was one of the simplest cameras on a smartphone. However, over the last two years, the iPhone camera has become bigger and bigger, the quality has improved, and the number of functions, buttons, and settings has continued to increase, and as a result, I feel like I'm stuck here. [See all images] How to thoroughly use the iPhone camera app The iPhone camera app is planned to be significantly redesigned, but until then, we have to manage this increasingly complicated system. Hmm. You should be well aware of the basics of switching to portrait mode and panoramic photography. This time, I will explain the functions that many people are not familiar with.
The Pro model of the iPhone sells three different cameras: a regular wide-angle camera, an ultra-wide-angle lens, and a telephoto (zoom) lens. However, the iPhone camera app uses a different term. You can switch between the three cameras using the zoom function (cameras can be switched in most camera modes). [1X] represents a normal camera, and [0.5X] represents an ultra-wide-angle camera. If you want to use a telephoto lens, press the [2X], [2.5X], or [3X] button. The button is just above the camera mode. You can also swipe left or right in this space to zoom in or out in the 0.5x to 3x range, or to zoom in on the viewfinder. However, note that if you zoom out beyond this range, it will switch to digital zoom. For example, if the iPhone only supports 2.5x zoom, you can't physically zoom out any further. All "zooms" beyond that range are digital zooms, which degrades image quality.
The answer Apple gave to the question of where to put the ever-growing number of camera options was to hide it under the carpet. The "carpet" in this case is the camera menu (only Flash, Night Mode, ProRAW, and Live Photos are visible from the beginning). When you open the Camera app in Photo or Portrait mode, you'll see a small upward arrow at the top. Tap here to display a new menu instead of camera mode. This menu contains most options for that camera mode. Flash: You can set the flash to On, Off, or Automatic. Night mode: You can disable night mode or change the timing (more on night mode later). Live Photos: You can select either Auto, On, or Off mode. Photograph Style: New camera feature for iPhone 13 and above. With these iPhone cameras, you can now customize the photo tone and warmth settings and set them as defaults. Aspect ratio: By default, the iPhone will still take pictures at a 4: 3 ratio. But if you want a more cinematic feel, or if you want to post your photos to Instagram Stories, you'll want a 16: 9 aspect ratio. In this menu, you can select the aspect ratio from [Square], [4: 3], and [16: 9]. Exposure: You can set and lock the exposure. However, you don't have to worry about the exposure because the iPhone will set it well. However, you can choose any exposure between -2.0 and 2.0 if desired (default is 0.0). Timer: You can quickly set a timer for 3 seconds or 10 seconds. Filters: The filters you're familiar with on your iPhone are still alive. It is hidden inside the last button in the options menu. Here you will find the familiar Vivid, Warm, Cold, etc. filters.
