This is not a tutorial. This is an experience.

This felt like a movie 🎥🥶🥶 fire video

[@remektekmedia6641]

Thanks for this comprehensive tutorial, Simon. You had clearly put in a ton of planning and effort and is much appreciated. So much so, that I downloaded it to my Mac and will use it for reference. To aid in finding the SETTINGS advice, I have added a further bunch of my own chapter headings. Should you feel this is useful I list them below and if you wish you can edit your movie's description and add these in at the correct spots in your existing chapter listing. On the other hand, if you feel that I have overstepped the line, then feel free to delete my comment. Oh, and have a very blessed Christmas and New Year. 00:00 - Start 01:34 - SET: Main camera 02:42 - SET: Macro control 03:53 - SET: Lock camera 04:19 - SET: Photo mode 05:27 - SET: HEIF photo mode 06:20 - SET: Change to Portrait mode in Edit 07:12 - SET: Most compatible mode 08:28 - SET: Camera mode 11:16 - SET: Switching OFF HDR 11:42 - SET: Export in Rec 709 12:42 - SET: Apple ProRes 13:01 - SET: ProRes options 17:36 - SET: Stabilisation options 17:53 - SET: Action mode 18:51 - SET Action mode Lower Light 19:43 - SET: White Balance locking 21:19 - SET: Auto fps 21:51 - SET: Exposure/focus/white balance locking 22:53 - SET: Level meter

[@remektekmedia6641]

Vow, discovered that the links I just posted for you already work! Presumably, you could, if you wish, just append these to your description in one block, That way the Settings markers are listed separately.

[@FfilmiauFflur]

Thanks so much for this detailed overview of the various settings. Thank you as well for referring to the lenses as 2 times, 3 times etc. and not as "2 ecks" "3 ecks" like some so-called reviewers. It makes you stand out as a professional!

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

you're welcome, thank you!

[@samithakalana]

I had lot of problems with my iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera. You solved them all with this tutorial. Very useful and now I know there is nothing wrong with the iPhone camera, it is just bunch of new techniques and options we must toggle on and off to get the best results. Thank you very much. Also your city is very picturesque. Beautiful surroundings ☺️❤️

[@alexv8203]

Hi Simon, I noticed that you had the 14 pro in some of your previous videos and opted for the 15 pro this year. Did you have a chance to use both Pro and PM and decide on the pro? Or do you just prefer the 77mm tele and smaller form factor?

[@user-ml9us4rc5o]

Thank you from 🇬🇷

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

You're welcome 😊

[@JustinPyo]

And for 26 minutes and 30 seconds, your mind was at peace.

This is very detailed which is cool. I'm not a professional but with this video I learned a lot. Your voice sounds like a NatGeo narrator which is cool btw. It's not so fast and it makes me want to listen to every word you say. I'm waiting for my iphone 15 pro max to arrive and I can't wait to apply these tutorials of yours. New subscriber here!

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@sprytnyryszard]

Nice tips, thank You. I have an advice too - if You live in country which use PAL/SECAM TV standard (and also have 50 Hz AC) - it's better to set in options PAL video with 25 or 50 frames per second. Especially when You record displays, monitors etc.

[@jyotikasingh8638]

Does anyone know what video editing app Simon features during this video? It looks awesome…

[@JustinPyo]

Bro should become a professional voicer for movie trailers.

[@Andrew-93]

I was looking at your video, wow good job sir! Was wondering if I’m the only one (iPhone 15 pro) that has the famous bug of that when I open photo from gallery it doesn’t show at full quality I have to pinch and zoom in and then back to the normal zoom to acquire full quality otherwise if I close the photo and re open it it’s the same , it’s like kinda blurry or not at the full quality pls help 😪

[@stitchesbymamta]

Thank you 🙏👍❤

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

You're welcome 😊

[@xclusiveconnex]

Is Profoto the only way to professional hss iPhone photography. I have Godox x2 pro but can’t find out how to use the flash with an app via Bluetooth in some type of manual mode in the photo

[@rus151980]

Good Skills! Good Content! Good Simon)) God Bless You!

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

Thank you very much!

[@AKCHINAEXPLORER]

Very good video sir, appreciate your time and teaching.... I just subscribed your channel and I will follow it. My name is Amjed I am from India, I lives in Shenzhen, China. Thank you very much sir.

[@LordBagdanoff]

Is the higher the mm the better?

[@mikeymofonz]

I’ve got the 15 pro max and I’m a little confused about using the 5x camera. When I’m going to lock in a photo with AF Lock on a subject that’s far away but want something in the foreground that’s a little in frame and blurry, I’ve noticed the camera does some weird shifting. Maybe it’s switching camera because it thinks the objects that are close should be in focus or something?. I never had this problem on my old 12 pro max. Any idea what is happening and how to stop it?. Thanks

[@PinkCreamOfficial_]

Auto subscribe 😊

[@ishtiakmahmud5108]

Sir,,In my 15 pro max,,when i open the camera it look very good,,but after the campure the picture is not so much good as seen in camera..What can i do..?

[@cheycalliope7745]

Great info and, always, your presentation is much appreciated. One clarification... at 6:20 minutes you recommend tapping the "f" button in the Edit feature to blur the background, rather than shooting in the Portrait mode for blurring. However, that "f" button isn't available when you select the HEIF Max option. It does appear if you select ProRAW Max.

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

Strange, I don't get an f button in raw max

[@cheycalliope7745]

Definitely strange. Just double-checked. No "f" button in HEIF Max, and now no "f" in ProRAW Max. I must've toggled something in between first check and last. This is going to take more experimenting.

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

Yeah so many options now it's easy to get lost in all these different formats

[@Chhotu_Vlogs17]

There is only one application in iPhone 15 Pro which can edit the video shot without any laptop.​@@HorrocksoniPhone

[@autorhia1026]

Help me, use HEIF max or no?

[@sunshine-jf4rr]

Hlo sir, why does my photo on iphone 15 pro max turns brighter after clicking ?

[@ozenozkul1940]

Thanks for the video, What is the name of the editting software?

[@HorrocksoniPhone]

CapCut for desktop
