exist Its “Awe” event On Tuesday, Apple whipped the latest cover of the cover iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Maxwhich contains a lot of updates, including Split new orange. But as a professional photographer, this is the camera I’m particularly excited about, and the new Pro Models have a lot of updates that shock my tech nerd. Let’s dive in and learn more.
Longer telephoto zoom
First, telephoto zoom. and 16 Pro The 17 Pro offers 5x optical zoom, which reaches 8x, which is equivalent to tying a 200mm lens to a normal camera. I like to use it with long mirrors My Canon R5. It allowed me to find more interesting pieces in one scene, and if I just stood there with a wide angle lens, it would be lost. While 5x is a great place for many scenes, I often want to provide additional coverage for more distant topics, but don’t want to sacrifice image quality with digital amplification.
Now, the Pro Model offers a complete camera package, from one end to more and more speeding to super zoom. The telephoto lens now has a 48-megapixel resolution and is physically larger than previous models. This is great – the larger sensor captures more light and more light, meaning a better look to the image. I’m really happy to see how this larger sensor allows for powerful overconversion seen on many competitors’ scaling systems, thus allowing for natural telephoto images.
Movie underwater video? Check.
Honestly, I also love seeing larger sensors on the main camera. I want to see Apple as big as a 1-inch sensor, like Xiaomi 14 Ultra and 15 Ultracan provide amazing quality. It seems that Apple hasn’t changed the main camera hardware so much this time, and I think that’s good. After all, it’s already one of the best mobile cameras around, so why screw up a good thing?
As a professional photographer, I used my iPhone instead of my usual camera in many cases when I didn’t expect to need a camera. I even posted an iPhone image in a magazine. Do I need Apple to overhaul its main camera? no. Do I want to see it slapped on a full-frame image sensor with interchangeable lenses? Oh, yes. It does have a “second generation” sensor that moves optical image stabilization, which should help with low-light images, while the super camera is still a healthy 48 megapixel.
PRORE RAW Video
And the photographer, I am a video producer, creating videos for CNET and making YouTube videos For my channel about photography. I work in the location often and create videos that show how I take pictures, which means carrying a lot of gear – I need a camera to take pictures, I need a camera to take pictures I take those photos.
Last year, I shot a special movie video (embedded below) on the hills in Wales and I had to drag a lot of gear on my back, including two cameras, two tripods, a display for cameras and microphones, microphones, lenses, lenses and filters. That’s why I’m excited about Apple’s other big upgrades to the camera: ProRes Raw videos.
Apple introduced the ProRes Video codec to its iPhone 13 Pro in 2021, and this version basically captures more information for a more professional look. PRORE RAW captures more information, bypassing many built-in image processing (such as sharpening) for greater flexibility through the resulting video files in post-production. As Apple says, Prores Raw is the industry standard format for professional filmmaking, so it’s crazy for phones to do that now.
“But Andy, no serious filmmaker will shoot on his phone,” I heard you cry. Not so: Recent Smash hits 28 years later zombie movies Shooting on iPhone 15 Professionals And they don’t have the original one. They weren’t even the latest models available at the time. While the quality of the iPhone may not be the same as the quality of a huge movie camera and lens, the lens costs hundreds of thousands of dollars, the tiny size of the iPhone means it can be used in small spaces and is used for fast-paced action, while a larger camera rig will fail.
Of course, my little YouTube channel isn’t a Hollywood production, but I like any opportunity to bend creative muscles and try to create a more cinematographic video. With the update of the iPhone 17 Pro camera, I will be able to make better-looking videos without having to carry the equipment for spinal stimulation with me.
