Pro Photo: DEEP DIVE INTO THE BRAND NEW CAMERA SET ON IPHONE 15 PRO

The Apple iPhone 15 Pro Max is the talk of the tech world, with its camera capabilities pushing the envelope even further and offering professional users even more tools to shoot cutting-edge videography and photography from their pockets without a DLSR in sight!

AN EVOLUTIONARY LEAP

Apple might have kept the 48-megapixel Main camera introduced with the iPhone 14 Pro, but the all-new A17 Pro chip brings new capabilities to this already impressive hardware. The camera features a 24mm focal length, an ƒ/1.78 aperture, and second-generation sensor-shift optical image stabilization. This combination ensures less movement and crisper photos and videos, even in challenging conditions. This year, Apple has introduced a 24-megapixel setting via the Photonic Engine, a significant upgrade from the previous 12-megapixel. This offers ultra-high resolution without significantly increasing the file size, a balancing act photographers will appreciate. Both the 24-megapixel and 48-megapixel photos can be saved in the standard HEIF image file format, providing flexibility without the need for RAW, which is often cumbersome - and thanks to the iPhone’s USB-C port, moving them to a Mac for editing is easier than ever.

Apple’s computational photography capabilities are nothing short of revolutionary. Users with iPhone 15 Pro Max models can now switch between 24mm, 28mm, and 35mm focal lengths, effectively mimicking what’s possible with a DSLR camera. These focal lengths are accessible when taking a photo and are reflected as distinct zoom levels. Apple claims the triple-lens camera and variable Main camera options equate to having seven lenses at your disposal. The bold claim seems increasingly credible, given the device’s capabilities.
