Finally, because of your explanation I finally have a much better understanding of the camera of my new iPhone 15 Pro Max. Thank you!

[@teddchilless5645]

I have watch a dozen on masteriing iPhone 15 pro max…………this is the best detail information, thank you

[@Goldfinch241]

Thank you. That was such a clear explanation and now I can video by just pressing the volume button or long pressing the shutter button - I have just got an iPhone and didn’t know how to do that!

[@webmail4]

Wow, that was an excellent video. So much good information, thank you and keep up the great work.

[@Langkinhsaigon-SaigonHoloscope]

So far i think the best instruction clip for Iphone 15 pro camera usage. Thanks pal!👌👍

[@CruisingwithChooChoo]

Awesome video with great tips and beautifully explained. Thank you so much!

[@SteveBowman-ng9eb]

Brilliant video,thankyou

[@CruisingwithChooChoo]

Thank you so much! I learned a lot from you!

[@rosesterchi5794]

Thanks for this video, I needed it. Your son is growing so fast! He is adorable! ❤

[@AppleInsider]

Thanks! he really is!

[@leonardberverena1030]

Love this video information ℹ️ 😊

[@Primeestyles]

Love the caseee❤❤❤

[@nikibuz1]

Best explanation ever Very well done

[@rabintmg8538]

Nice one man

[@sayedhaseebullahsadat1499]

Your videos worth it❤

[@stilllife74]

THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@choachdiamond]

oh thanksssssssssssssss. it was geat and I learned a lot

[@Lightfighter1]

Excellent video. One small note - you can actually change raw formats from camera app - just press on raw format and 4 choices will appear on top menu.

[@Aviation_Racing]

I have 3 only, heif raw and pro raw. Is the jpeg limited to the pro max?

[@Lightfighter1]

The 3 choices presented of the 4 available are based on your default format - high efficiency or most compatible. If you choose high efficiency, the choices are HEIF Max, Raw 12 or Raw Max - if you choose most compatible, the choices are JPG Max, Raw 12 or Raw Max.

[@oxanamoses8953]

Awesome video

[@ady69ish]

Great video, very informative. Do know if you can still use apples wired headphones as a remote shutter release. On the older phones with lightning you could use the headphone volume button to activate shutter. Very useful for steady shooting

[@BrutusMaximusAurelius]

13:51 yes you can, if you hold the icon you can chose between the three different options.

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

Today I learned one of the volume buttons can be used to record video. I thought I knew everything about the camera app

[@michalpfeil]

Yes but the video is only HD sadly and not 16x9. Quicktake videos are bad all around and just makes more sense to switch to video mode.

[@FfilmiauFflur]

Excellent review! Thanks as well for using the term "times" when referring to the different lens settings. So many so-called reviewers insist on interptreting to X as the letter X and not really understanding that it should be used in the mathematical multiplication sense. As soon as I hear that, I don't bother watching any further...

[@dealman3312]

Great video. What is the best way to crop in a 5x optical video of birds?

[@jozievismanos7095]

could you please further explain the camera settings? what each category mean especially for the quality? thank you

[@Steven-qi4gm]

Thanks for the video. I’m considering getting this phone for a US road trip of national parks in June. Is it only the the 1X 1.2X and the 1.5X that can shoot at 24-48mega pixel or does the 2X do it also? Thanks

[@sauravmisraz]

hey andrew, is there any way around to use the volume+ button to zoom in and volume- button to zoom out in camera & video camera?

[@vix1211]

Dual video recording is supported sir?

[@speca]

Great tips! Thank you ❤

[@amaliaarango3068]

How do you create that shortcut and all those things come out ?

[@mhouslay7281]

Great video. Really clear and useful. Thanks very much indeed.

[@danyellekeen]

Why do I not have the shared library button on the top of mine?

[@matthewburno]

You could actually make portrait photos out of anything you have to just tap to focus. I wish Apple would add the option to lock focus even while moving though, because if you move slightly the whole thing blur. What they could do is maybe single tap for lock focus and exposure like normal and double tap for focal tracking where it would track object. It comes in handy with things that constantly moves like kids, pets and plants in the wind.

[@boss_ie_kop159]

I stay in South Africa and I have a 15 pro max titanium and my Live Photos does not have the menu of transforming it to portrait it is also missing a little details that you have and I don't, should I be worried?

[@cydeweyz]

What’s up with “Action Mode Lower Light” record video option?

[@user-ec8pn5bf7b]

i have the new iphone just a question why every time i take the video its blurr?? its weird

[@amaliaarango3068]

With the iPhone 15 pro max can you set your own aperture , iso , etc.

[@allenofblacksteel9169]

how do you make your in your camera app get rid of those black space. I remember when I borrow someone phone I always see their camera app have no black space it's like when you zoom bigger than 5x but at 1x.

[@camtheman233]

what is SDR and Log for the recording?

[@MSRWorkshop]

Where is the periscope camera ?? I have not seen something on this or a getting to make it work. I put my finger over the lense and move through all the settings and found it to do noting

[@Garcia061]

Which is the lens that has optical zoom. Crop is irrelevant can do that in post.

[@user-fi6hg8vq6c]

The 15 and 14 have the same sensor. Why doesn’t the 14 have the digital crop “lens”?

[@zehnkhazan5301]

2:01 How do you set the clock like this in your home page?

[@jamesburton2497]

I think the timer for the camera can be better

[@theNader]

Can I know what is the brand of your magsafe stand ?

[@AppleInsider]

It's also from ESR!

[@haroldseattle1488]

What kind of stand is holding your phone?

[@throughsoul]

fyi - you can change the type of professional shot you shoot by holding the RAW icon at the top right

[@iamhunkidori]

tbh I had never seen or heard of this RAW icon until this video

[@iamhunkidori]

I have never seen (nor heard) about this "Shared Library" v "Personal Library" option

[@bjmoore1712]

the action button on mine only turns the volumn on or off...what am I doing wrong? And, is there no way to pause while taking a video and restart the same video to finish taking one?

[@idyllic55555]

Hey ive tried taking pictures with pro raw but a lot of times it shows the mp of the photo at 36 mp instead of 48, is there a reason for that?

[@BadMFJules]

Could have something to do with the aspect ratio of the photo.

[@leonardberverena1030]

So good video ❤information

[@tedbowling5036]

Great video. Thanks. Just subscribed,

[@TacticalTrucker]

❤

[@groman521]

Same for 15 pro?

[@AppleInsider]

Mostly, but I do go more into the telephoto lens here.

[@JohnBlakeJr]

I tried to take a photo just now and I could not get my iPhone 15 Pro Max to focus on an object. The object was a grab apple (about 1/2 the size of a penny US)

[@MissSmurfey]

Did you try pulling the camera back a bit? Have you figured out how to to take close ups?

[@HirschyB]

How do you have in camera controls for the ‘photographic styles’ ?? Mine doesn’t show that and I can find anything in settings to make it an option. Using iPhone 15 pro max on latest OS

[@sijmenberkers]

iPhone x make better close up pictures then the 15 pro max or 15 pro.. what do i wrong ?

[@MissSmurfey]

Trying pulling the camera back a bit, sounds like you are too close to the subject.

[@user-sl5el5qv1c]

is it true that selfie camera in 15pro max and generally the 15series is not showing the selfies vivid,vibrant and realistic, but it kinda messes up with the colors and makes them like grey-ish? any 15 pro max users' opinions?

[@AyannaIman]

Yes! It’s true and it’s really annoyingggg…

[@darjasabajeva]

Absolutely true and I hate it 😢 tried all the possible options to fix it with settings- nothing works

[@MaLizaVGade]

It will be good just click the edit and the live,you choose there the best photo you like

[@lovetessita]

The selfie camera is just horrible! I tried to compare with an old iPhone and it even makes better photos.

[@MissSmurfey]

@@lovetessitahow is it horrible? Any fixes in the updates?

[@erickmanangan4803]

why the back camera doesnt mirror?

[@TheDutchGuyOnYT]

Because usually narcissists use the selfie/selfish camera.

[@janakresht9047]

In my 15 pro max iphone every time i go close to an object taking a portrait it becomes blurry! Even the normal photo inside the house only is not clear and is not with good quality compared to the versions before and doesn't blur in close picture (photo mode)! Is anyone suffering from the same issue?.. if someone can tell us how to fix these issues ... Thank u in advance

[@rishijain1875]

Best video for noobs.. really helpful

[@Wired1ify]

I don’t have all of these options??? Yes, it’s a 15 Pro Max.

[@zamyn3686]

But in my 15 pro max when i get close to the subject it gets blurry even macro mode is on.. is this some issue or not ??? Coz my 14 px and 13 px never gave me this problem… anyone knows ??😊

[@user-kh1ro6wv3t]

I know. Major of the news iPhones this yeah are having this problem. Problem can’t be fix and Apple’s updates aren’t doing sh!t. Apple been lazy lately.

[@MissSmurfey]

Did the software updates fix this blurry issue?

[@zamyn3686]

Hey!!!! I found out it’s 3x lens in the front so u have to come 28mm lens so it will not get blurry however close you go the object!!! No software no bug issue!

[@josephpepe2607]

I haven’t had any issues

[@MissSmurfey]

@@zamyn3686 thank you

[@adonaivictor4493]

Apple we need 5 seconds 3 is not that long if your a lone warrior like me

[@WhittyPics]

I can zoom to 1.9x on my 15 pro and get 24 megapixels but when I go 2x is is 12. There is no reason why 2x can't be 24 megapixels since that i half of 48. They gave that to the regular phone but the Pro. Come on Apple

[@michalpfeil]

There is a reason. It's not half but a quarter of it. Pixel binning. There are 48mp and so it uses every pixel. To get 2x it bins 4 pixels into one hence you get 12 mp and better quality as well since it is using 4 pixels to get better light. 2x lens on the regular is also 12mp.

[@Persason]

A fellow diabetic!

[@abetmater4412]

:)

[@yamahaevo]

Can you turn off that disgusting hdr?

[@redlightrunner930]

Wow android has had all of this and the USB port 😂 nice try titanium 😂

[@deckhead33]

Apple fans are too cool and smart to care! Lol

[@ALI-os6ze]

this video is so unnecessary, everyone knows 80% of this

[@DimakatsoMorwa]

Your comment is the one that is so unnecessary. I'm a new iPhone user n this is helpful for me. You are full of unnecessary drama

[@itsanujkk]

It is necessary for other 20%. I searched this specifically to help a friend that is less technically aware about such things and I don't have time to teach her personally.

[@deckhead33]

So don’t watch it if it doesn’t suit you. Don’t speak for others though 🙄
