The iPhone was one of the simplest cameras on smartphones.
However, in the last two years, the camera on the iPhone has become larger, improving the quality, and as a result of the increase in functions, buttons, and settings, I feel that I have come here.
The iPhone's camera app is planned to be redesigned, but until then, you must manage to use this more complicated system.
You will fully understand the basic matters such as 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, a super wide angle, and a telephoto (zoom) lens.
However, different terms are used in iPhone camera apps.
Switching the three cameras is performed using the zoom function (most camera mode can switch the camera).
[1x] is a normal camera, [0).5x] represents a super wide angle camera.
If you want to use a telephoto lens [2x], [2.Press 5x] or [3X] button.
The button is just above the camera mode.
Swipe this space to the left or right, and 0.You can also zoom in or zoom out or squeeze the viewfinder in a range of 5 to 3 times.
Note, however, that if you zoom out beyond this range, it will switch to digital zoom.
For example, that iPhone is 2.If it only supports 5 times the zoom, it cannot be physically zoomed out.
All "zoom" that exceeds that range is digital zoom and reduces image quality.
Apple's answer was to hide under the carpet on the question of where to place an increasing camera option.
The "carpet" in this case is the camera menu (only flash, night mode, ProRaw, Live Photos displayed from the beginning).
Open the camera app in Portrait or Portrait mode, and a small upward arrow will be displayed at the top.
Tap here to display a new menu instead of camera mode.This menu includes most options corresponding to the camera mode.
Flash: You can set the flash in either [On], [Off], or Automatic.
Night mode: You can disable the night mode or change the timing (described below for night mode).
Live Photos: You can select either [Automatic], [On], or [Off] mode.
Photograph style: A new camera function from iPhone 13 or later.With these iPhone cameras, you can customize the tone and warmth of the photos and set them as defaults.
Aspect ratio: By default, the iPhone takes a picture of a 4: 3 ratio as before.
However, if you want a more cinematic atmosphere or if you want to post a photo to the Instagram story, you should set the aspect ratio to 16: 9.
In this menu, you can select the aspect ratio from [Square] [4: 3] [16: 9].
Exposure: You can set and lock the exposure.However, the iPhone will set the exposure well, so you don't have to worry about it.
But if necessary, -2.0 to 2.You can select any exposure between 0 (default 0).0).
Timer: You can quickly set the timer of 3 seconds or 10 seconds.
Filter: The familiar filter on the iPhone is also alive.Hidden in the last button of the option menu.
There are filters such as familiar vivid, warm, cold, etc.
Until now, to switch the video resolution of the iPhone camera, it was necessary to open the Settings app.With this change, I can switch from the camera app.
When you switch to the Video mode, two types of buttons are displayed in the upper right.By default, the video is shot in HD, 30fps.
Tap these buttons to switch to 4K and 60fps, respectively.
This guide in the US LH is explained in detail about shooting with full resolution on the iPhone.
The night mode mounted on the iPhone camera app has a great effect under the right conditions.
However, the night mode turned on due to the shadow, and in some cases it was counterproductive.
Since this function starts automatically, there is no clear [off] switch, but there is a way to disable it.
Start the [Settings] app on the iPhone and open [Camera].
Open [Settings] and tap the toogle next to [Night Mode].Now the camera does not automatically switch to night mode.
Return to the iPhone's camera app, tap the night mode button from the optional menu, and select [Off].Now the night mode is invalid.
Would you like to shoot a video quickly during photo mode?
In such a case, press and hold the shutter button.While holding the shutter button, the iPhone keeps shooting the video.
You can also swipe to the right and switch to video mode completely.
The same can be done with the volume button.As you know, you can take a picture by pressing the volume button while opening the camera app.
If you press and hold the volume button, you can shoot videos only while pressing the button.The method of shooting videos quickly on the iPhone is also explained in this guide in the US LH.
Where did the burst mode go by pressing and holding the shutter button to take a video?
Press and hold the shutter button and swipe to the left.
The setting app also has the option to take a picture of burst mode using the volume up button.
To enable this, turn on [Settings]> [Camera]> [Use the button to increase the volume in the burst].
