This is a great basic guide to camera settings, the more simple things are covered clearly, and the more complex things aren't discussed in baffling detail - people wanting more info on the more complex elements are likely to go looking for it for a deeper dive, so it's great you spent just the right amount of time on each feature. I've saved this video in case I ever feel like having a play around with settings. I changed a couple of minor things, but for the most part my setting are as in this video. Thank you.

14 PM user here. Learned something new, esp. the raw settings and photographic styles. For mirror front cam, I still put it on so that the outcome will not ‘mirror’. Unless there are words or logos going backwards, I just ‘mirror’ it in built-in cam app. I use most compatible for higher quality. (For videos, yeah it’s better to be 4K, but when uploading to Fb or ‘Gram, better to use 1080p HD as it will not be too compressed compared to 4K. ) 😊

[@jamescherishgumela320]

What camera brand are you using to take this video? It’s so cool

[@steverich_photography]

Excellent video, well done!

[@barrymcalle7377]

Nice one good explanation of the settings, really useful

[@dwightbroemanphotosandart]

Dear IPS and David, I would highly encourage you help get an option from Apple to turn off the image processing that occurs with ProRaw Max. For me the image is too over processed and crunchy. I would love to get a 48MP unprocessed RAW file to work with and build it up as I see fit. Any chance of this occurring? Keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again! Good to see you on here.

Finally just found details camera settings for iphone been looking for since i got 15 and no yt vid explained details of each individual settings goodjob👍🏻

[@momo37able]

Thank you, what are some tips for beach photos

[@iantroup]

Hi David, it's great to see you & you're looking so well. I have missed your content of late but this video is just what I have been looking for since I sold all my camera gear & am reliant on my iPhone 14 Pro these days. I hope we'll be seeing more of you in future videos, best wishes!

[@maryannstatham9729]

thanks David for this informative and very useful video; i am using 15promax wish you all the very best !

[@king...675]

can you make a video about the pro res for log, HDR and SDR? i dont understand the difference between them

[@RedVizorMoto]

Thank you for the video, it is great and informative. Also, what I don't understand is whether the HEIF format or the JPEG format has better quality. Is there a difference in terms of quality? As far as I know, jpeg supports 8 bit, heif 10 bit. I would appreciate it if you answer.

Most useful channel for iphone photo6

Could you do a iphone series 12, 13, 14 15…

[@trumpan80]

Very good, how can u use the pink moving box, to focus on the area text you are refering? I want to learn it .

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

If you are inquiring about the grid, you can activate it on your device by going to Settings > Camera, then turn on Grid. Hope this answers your question.

[@kevy_.]

that’s an animation they have edited into the video in post

[@amaliaarango3068]

Should you keep that on , spatial video Apple Vision Pro ?

[@1alb]

Thanks for this very well made tutorial. However, I still find it impossible to get a decent photo in low light. In natural light, the iPhone 15 Pro Max takes exceptional photos. But in low light it is truly horrible - I’ve worked on this for 8 months now, having watched many tutorials and visiting the Apple store, my iPhone 15 Pro Max has never produced a usable low light photo. My daughter’s cheap OPPO phone takes far better low light pics.

[@artfartzy]

I always have live photo turned off except for those moments where I want to take a photo and turn it into a long exposure photo, or one of the other options like loop etc. That's also why under preserve settings I have live photo turned on, or else it will turn live photo back on again the next time I open the camera app. With this turned on in preserve settings it remembers the last setting I used for live photo. And since I always turn live photo off again after using it, it will remain turned off the next time I open the camera app because it remembers that. If I had not enabled it in preserve settings it would have turned live photo back on the next time I opened the camera app no matter what. And I dont wan't all my photos to be a live photo, and you also get better quality when taking a photo without live. Plus when you take a photo at night with nightmode you will see that live photo icon will be turned off if you had it on, thats because nightmode doesnt work with live photo.

[@EmonKhan-eb9wl]

Nice good viideo

[@itz-m1l]

So he has lens correction on or off? I didn’t understand

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

It is up to you to leave it on or off. You can try leaving it off and taking a few pictures at a wide angle. If you belive the warp effect is too strong, you can activate lens correction to correct that.

[@king...675]

i dont know if its just me but on photo when the camera is facing me (front camera) i cant do raw max or Heif max its always on raw 12, does this happen to you as well and why does that happen?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

The issue you’re experiencing with your iPhone 14’s front camera not allowing you to select RAW Max or HEIF Max settings is likely due to the current limitations of the front-facing camera. As of now, the iPhone 14 Pro and Pro Max models support ProRAW and HEIF Max settings primarily for the rear cameras, which can capture images at up to 48 MP. The front camera, however, is typically limited to 12 MP and does not support these higher resolution formats.

[@king...675]

@@iPhone_Photography_School i have a iphone 15 pro max not iphone 14??

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Sorry about that. The same applies to the iPhone 15 models.

[@king...675]

can someone please explain what live photos is?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

You can learn all about Live Photos here: support.apple.com/en-us/104966

[@Travelingcompas]

It’ll be better if you can show how to do setting in normal iPhone

[@mamukaauriadmkopelii]

Why not about smart HDR?

[@mamukaauriadmkopelii]

Most compatible is better 😎 u can see difference ))

[@artfartzy]

Agree I also prefer most compatible.

[@Maarioo007]

Heif is better. It takes 10 bit pictures. JPEG only 8.

[@mamukaauriadmkopelii]

Next lesson for hight quality upload at social media photo video not losing quality !!!

[@BTraderV]

My pro raw not coming 😢

[@artfartzy]

im using most compatible, this way im sure it will work with most programs on my windows computer. I like Jpeg. And then I use Jpeg Max if I want the higher res.

[@phylliscarlyle8455]

You must use a Mac. PCs do not like HEIC files and they have to be converted. I consider this recommendation to be bad advice for many.

[@mvl6827]

Only useful if you have the latest iphone....

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

The rest of the settings apply even to older models. 😊

[@HFE-lb5mp]

Please go back to your Channel David. That much nicer than this one.

[@yjhmei]

Me watching this video with an iPhone 11 that have only 10% of the features shown here.

[@LSUfan]

You blew it on MIRROR FRONT CAMERA setting. You should have noted that words in the picture will be backwards unless you shut this setting off. Who wants distracting backwards words anyway??? Very distracting!!!

[@king...675]

LMAO most people have this option turned on so i guess the users that dont will understand

[@zombiegoatwheels]

This setting ideally should be turned off, right?? If we want a natural look as opposed to a mirror look?

[@king...675]

@@zombiegoatwheels no everyone has it on, when its on it takes the same pic of how you take the photo

[@digitaldroo]

But he said he doesn’t like it mirrored so he keeps this option turned off.

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

That's correct! :)

[@hwntwww]

use a less high end model for Petes sake, like your viewers. Otherwise you are either showing off or just plugging a product for Apple

[@kwokweng76]

this is a very useful video, thanks
