From iPhone 14 and later’s Action Mode, which applies very deep video stabilization to your handheld shots, to the new portrait features in iPhone 15 phones, there are plenty of new photography features than your old phone probably didn’t offer. .
To use Mode of action open the camera app, switch to video mode and press the little “action” button to activate it. The video should be stable even if you run while recording with the phone.
Portrait Fashion And Portrait lighting take great photos of people and, for the iPhone 15 series, animals. You can adjust the depth of field in these portraits to create more or less background blur.
Cinematic mode arrived with the iPhone 13 and lets you focus on the subject in a video the same way Portrait mode works with photos. There is even automatic focus tracking.
Macro photography is only available for Pro iPhones, but if you own an iPhone Pro or Pro Max, you can take very detailed close-ups.
Photographic styles arrived with the iPhone 13 and lets you customize the image processing pipeline to give your photos a slightly different tone. Open the Camera app, switch to Photo mode, and swipe up to reveal the small camera control buttons. You can also select your photography style in Settings > Camera > Photography Styles.
Super zoom: If you own an iPhone 15 Pro Max, you own the only iPhone with a 5X zoom lens, allowing you to get closer than ever to distant subjects. To test it, press one of the zoom buttons in the viewfinder or pinch the screen to zoom.
