Thank you! I have upgraded from 12 Pro to 15 Pro Max. You are the only one who can clearly explain which lens setting uses native optical features instead of digital zoom. Quality is very important to me.
I have an iPhone 12 and tested a GR III, I find the image quality really better on the Ricoh. Is there a big difference between the image quality of an iPhone 12 and 15?
The iPhone 15 indeed offers significant improvements in image quality compared to the iPhone 12. With its upgraded camera sensor and enhanced capabilities, you’ll notice sharper and more detailed photos.
I have found the 'crop' modes of 28 & 35mm very usable as Apple upscale the image back to your chosen 12 or 24MP file size, whereas the 48mm crop only provides the 12MP image
I have a 15 pro max and purchased a telephoto 60 mm additional lens (Going on a safari) When I set for 2x the telephoto lens (bottom one) works fine. When I set the camera to 5x with the attached lens the camera does not switch (stays as main camera, not telephoto) so half the image is black since the camera is catching the edge of the extra lens. I would like to set the lens to adapt to telephoto but not sure if this is possible. Do you have experience with this Thanks for the reply
i think the portable telephoto lens could be used only in the main camera not in the native telephoto lens, since the native telephoto lens are already optically zoomed in.
I've come across information suggesting that capturing a slightly zoomed-in image with the camera produces superior results compared to cropping in post-processing. Is my understanding incorrect?
Enable the Lens Correction feature in your iPhone settings. This intelligent feature corrects any distortion caused by wide-angle lenses, resulting in more natural-looking photos.
@@iPhone_Photography_School it’s already turned on… But with wide lense it kinda looks like fish eye lense but than the opposite of fish eye. It’s rounded at the corners and distorted.
I went to the Apple store and tested the 15 Pro against the 15 Pro Max at different focal lengths. The 15 Pro Max produced sharper photos beyond 5x (since it has a 5x optical lens) but photos were noticeably less sharp and even blurry in the 3x-4.9 range since they are just digitally cropped images of the wide-angle lens. Even the older iPhone 13 Pro produced better images in this range. I hope Apple includes both a 3x and 5x lens in the iPhone 16 Pro lineup like the Samsung S24 Ultra.
Is this unique to the 15 Pro and Max? I haven't found any settings like this in the iPhone 13 Pro. When recording and I tap 3x, it digitally zooms in and looks AWFUL. However, if I stop recording and THEN tap 3x, it switches to the 3x (optical) zoom lens.
Thank you! The Apple tech specs for the 15 Pro/Max are very confusing and misleading. At first, I thought wow! 48MP for all three lenses (Main, Ultra Wide, Telephoto). Then below that, it says super-high-resolution photos (24MP and 48MP). Scroll down further and it says Pro camera system (48MP Main, 12MP Ultra Wide, and 12MP Telephoto). So now I'm thinking, where is the 24MP lens? What in the world is Apple trying to tell us about their camera?
Thanks for a great explanation, now we only need the real ultimate explanation :-)..... what is the resolution in pixels for each of the 7 "lenses"...... 1x is 48m pixels, but what about the rest..... ?
Yes, I understand that… but can you ID which lens is which? Example: which is the main lens? Top left, bottom left or middle right (as looking at them from the back)
@@markmaxwell2765 assuming that you have a iphone 15 pro max bottom left is main camera, right one is ultra wide (0.5) and top left is telephoto. you can test this out by putting your finger on the camera but be careful it might switch is macro mode turns on
