iPhone Camera Settings
One of the first things you need to do is make sure you have the right camera setting on your iPhone. Before we go over these settings, if your iPhone doesn’t have these, they’re not necessary to take amazing photos, but they can help. And if any of you have any questions, feel free to post them in the “Questions” Discussion.
(We’ll skip the video settings for now and go straight to photo settings.)
First, let’s go over “Formats.”
Go to Settings > Camera > Formats
Once you’re in formats, make sure you are in “High Efficiency” mode. This will allow you to shoot cinematic, 4k at 60 fps, and HDR.
Moving down the screen, if you have an iPhone that allows to shoot in ProRAW, make sure you have this on. And also put the Pro default to “ProRAW Max.”
The last section is “Video Capture.” Allow for Apple ProRes. This lets you have more a more professional look in post-production.
Next up is “Preserve Settings.”
Go to Settings > Camera > Preserve Settings
Each setting allows you to make your favorite settings automatically used when you first open up the camera app; otherwise the app goes to it’s default
settings. This is more of a personal preference, but I would recommend at least putting “Macro Control” on. For iPhones that are newer, they have a macro
feature that allows for close up shots, but without this setting on, the iPhone chooses when it wants to use the macro feature.
I would also recommend putting “ProRAW & Resolution Control” on. This makes sure that you’re using ProRAW every time you go to your camera without
needing to make sure it’s on.
And lastly, I would have “Apple ProRes” on.
The rest of the settings in this group is also preference, so you can decide what you want. We’ll skip down to the “Composition” section next.
“Composition”
To help with better composition, turn on the “Grid” setting. This puts the lines on your preview so you can have a better idea of where your thirds are.
I also like using the “Level” setting. This helps with keeping horizons straight, so there’s less work to do in editing.
That’s all I would have on for these composition settings.
The last two sections that I would have on are “Lens Correction” and “Macro Control.” I wouldn’t put on “Prioritize Faster Shooting.” This can cause other problems with the system when it prioritizes this one feature.
And that’s it for Camera Settings!
I’ve attached screenshots of everything we just went over for a better visual. (And yes they are unedited lol)
Let me know if any of you have a question or want to add something!
