Apple says the camera “used AI” to expand the field of view and adjust the orientation. This is very convenient, especially given that you don’t have to change the way you hold your phone, which means it’s no longer an unstable grip. It’s also more comfortable, but it may still take some time to retrain your muscle memory and prevent yourself from switching to selfie landscape mode.
Don’t forget that all selfies on these new devices can also improve image quality, as the new 18-megapixel sensor can be packaged in more detail. If you shoot a lot of selfies, your clips will also have better stability in 4K HDR.
Double Capture
You can eventually record with the front and rear cameras in the iPhone Camera app! OK, technically not New. You can already do this through third-party apps for years, and some Android phone This feature has been used in camera applications for a decade. Samsung calls it a dual recording Galaxy phonewhile HMD’s Nokia Phone (when they’re still a thing) calls it “Bothie. “Now it’s a native on the new iPhone.
In Video Mode, click the Overflow Camera menu in the upper right corner and select Double Capture. It works up to 4K 30 frames per second, and you’ll see a floating preview of the front camera (for example during video calls) and the main viewfinder of the view is displayed on the rear camera. The placement of the floating front camera view seems important because it doesn’t seem possible to change it after capture, so you need to make sure to flick it to a position that won’t block the action.
It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s an interesting little feature that I think nowadays a lot of people will take advantage of its native built into the camera app.
8x zoom
I test my phone to make a living, but I am also one Photographerthe camera I use most often is telephoto zoom. These days, I find the main cameras on most phones are too wide, so the optical zoom option brings me closer to the topic.
Color Me Accor is the new iPhone 17 Pro model that can reach 8x zoom and maintain optically similar quality! Apple upgraded its telephoto camera to 48 megapixels, which means you can see more details in the lens. This is also a 4x optical zoom camera. Considering that the Pro iPhone offers 5x optical zoom for several years, this may sound like a step back. However, superpixel counting and upgrades to larger sensors should overall provide better quality images, whether 4x, 5x or even 8x.
