I found that the macro mode on this phone is super sensitive, It's best to have it toggled on/off in the settings instead of automatic

Sensitive because the sensor is bigger, therefore it can’t focus on close objects the older phones used to do.

This is not a bug (I’ve seen so many ppl on my local forums complaining about this, especially on 3rd party apps where it’s not updated)

How do you turn off automatic macro but still have it appear as a toggle?

I think the default settings are the best for point and shoot. So high efficiency and that's it for photo. You can change the video settings to 4k30, this is great for every scenario.

Why not 4K 60?

4K24 used to have better low-light performance. Not sure if 30 and 60 fps do the same.

aquablaze69 t1_itd1ggs wrote

Yeah I know that. I’m just asking why 30 not 60. I main 60 instead of 30 because it’s smoother, so is there any reason I should main 30 instead?

For just point and shoot looking for best smoothness and sharpness in a video, can I main 4K 60 if I don’t care much for low light performance?

You can turn on Auto FPS as well.

I have yes thank you!

Personally I also turn off Prioritise Faster Shooting. If I want to take many photos at once, I’ll use Volume Up for Burst.

I tried that. I found that my pictures were generally better with it on as I have a bit of a hand trembling issue rn, and I’m 17😭

iOS now automatically reduces the frame rate if there isn't sufficient light. Just select the Auto FPS option.

For me 4k30 is better for everyday use, it stabilizes better, file size is not that big and it's better for low light

I find 1080 and 60FPS the best mode for video. Much smaller file sizes than 4k, and besides most people aren’t watching your phones video on a 4k screen.

I have no idea lol. Some people in apple subs are serious zealots

Completely agree. 1080p is best for me most of the time. I only use 4K for super important family videos that I want to “future proof”.

BlackHole6Cut t1_itcw31u wrote

I second this. I don't need 4k, the difference can't be viewed on my phone, but 60fps very much can be. 1080p vastly reduces the file size.

aquablaze69 t1_itd5xq9 wrote

If I don’t care about file size, why shouldn’t I do 4 k 60 over 4 k 30??

Misenk0 t1_itfzbon wrote

Sure you can, the only reason why not is the size of the video. If you don't care much about size then go with highest setting. On 4K OLED TV it's a night and day difference between 1080P and 4K as well it's night and day between 30 vs 60FPS. Only ignorants will tell you the opposite :) Modern TVs have interpolation technologies like true motion for example which can compensate low framerate and make the picture smooth but there are some drawbacks e.g. artifacts with high motion scenes. If you record at 60FPS you don't have these issue but yeah, 1h video is pretty big in size.

I used HEIF because it save space and automatically converts to jpeg when sharing

I mean my best advice for taking the nicest photos of people or dogs is using the 2 or 3x zoom, and decreasing the blur until it looks natural. This just makes for some photos that look like they were taken on a much higher quality camera

Such an odd question when talking about a camera. Best in what condition? Night, morning sun, noon sun, portrait, landscape?

There’s no best.

But, easiest is just stick to defaults.

Default settings, and enjoy! The beauty of the iPhone and the native Camera app (regardless of model) is the option to keep it incredibly simple.

Enable Apple RAW for photo mode.

Depending on storage you could enable the HDR recording at 1080/60 or 4k/30

Or just use 4k 60 for crisp videos.

This is awful advice. Please don't use pro raw unless you plan to edit every photo with good editing software. It's not at all practical or designed for point and shoot
