It's nice to listen to a presentation where a person knows and can also explain their point.

[@ChillzIlz]

that demonstration with using the 5x on your friend with the palace in the background blew me away. Thats definitely something new that I did not know about.

[@i_alecio]

I agree, great explanation

[@RobertoDeGiuli]

You are a great teacher Emil!

[@nunuvyurbiz123]

Excellent video! Since 2x is just a cropped 1x shot, it seems like the whole reason why it works better for portrait photography is that it forces you to step back, creating more distance to the subject, reducing distortion in the subject. In other words, standing at the same distance, a 2x shot and a manually cropped (post-production) 1x shot should look exactly the same. But by using the 2x, it prevents you from lazily standing too close to the subject, which would introduce distortion. Does that make sense?

[@lachutequimarche8074]

I know photography and yes that’s all correct.

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Yes, your reasoning makes perfect sense. Using a 2x zoom lens for portrait photography does encourage you to step back, which helps reduce facial distortion. When you're too close to your subject, the closer parts of the face can appear exaggerated, which is known as perspective distortion. By increasing the distance, you achieve a more natural look.

the comment I am looking for!

[@chitrathayaseelan]

Thank you for the in-depth teaching on iPhone.

[@MiniBlueDragon]

This is great. Also a big fan of the course (I did it WAY back when you first created it, and still get loads out of it now).

[@Barb5234]

Excellent lesson on lenses. Thank you. I will go practice. 👍

[@amd5471]

Genius! It sounds so obvious, but I never thought about it in terms of perspective until now 🙂

[@ngbc5342]

Brilliant tutorial, a real eye-opener, well done!

[@patriciarivas5369]

So wonderful! I appreciate you taking the time to share with us!❤

[@marloutablizo7164]

Thank you. Very helpful

[@BrendaOwens]

Wonderful tips👏

[@JavadDehghan-t8w]

wow. such a nice and useful tips in this video. actually this was among few videos that i watched in youtube and actually taught me something rather than just telling useless specifications

[@LeslieJoseph-f5g]

Thank you for the in-depth demonstration and explanation. Looking forward to trying these, although my longest lens is 3x.

[@leonseid7433]

I would greatly appreciate it , you give me some enlightenment and a different perspective on the phone camera

[@Gts2pro]

Great explanation, thank you , great video , it’s in my top 20 videos

[@baldevkaur3123]

Thanks for explaining the lens differences.

[@markwalters9754]

Great demonstration. Thank you 😊

[@kwameasimah]

This is best photo tutorials I have ever seen. Thanks for sharing How do you take pictures when the area is too sunny? Which option is the best ?

[@finprints]

Great intell. Definitely liked the portion on friend and castle. Definitely explains the lens use.

[@victorinogarciaj.r6815]

I would like to asked with model of iphone this setting

[@lachutequimarche8074]

This was something I learned early in my photography career and it’s the difference the average person can see, but they don’t exactly know why it looks better.

[@garymarcos]

Great instructional video however I suggest you included a safety measure of always turning around first to ensure it’s safe to walk back. People have been hurt or worse by stepping into a dangerous situation because they didn’t take the couple of seconds to ensure they weren’t stepping off a cliff, stepping into traffic or tripping over a bench.

[@RobertoDeGiuli]

Could you please update the course with this video? It is very interesting and, in my opinion, it adds a lot to the already good course.

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

The new lessons have been integrated into the iPhone Photo Academy course. If you bought the course a while back and also opted for the Lifetime Updates add-on, you can view the new lessons on the Course Portal.

[@RobertoDeGiuli]

@@iPhone_Photography_School Honestly I didn't know about the Lifetime Updates add-on. I sent an e-mail to your contact center to check it and see if I can opt in now, eventually. Thanks.

[@rustydizon4596]

i learned a lot! thank you ❤

[@somojit19]

Helpful video thank you.👍

[@Raritymark6591]

Excellent! Any advice on when to use portrait vs. landscape orientation with the iPhone?

[@kiwigirlNZ]

Good luck getting an answer. I’ve been subscribed for years, and never seen it happen.

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

The choice between portrait and landscape orientation depends largely on what you're photographing and the effect you're aiming to achieve.

[@rudidensch3920]

Love the way you explain the lenses on the 15 iPhone Pro Max.. Question: What do you think of screen shots?

[@FutureWarCultist]

This changed how I think of framing ❤

[@aveguevara]

Great lesson.

[@capdeng]

Thanks, Emil

[@MutebiBashir]

Wow wow wow. Thank you so much. I’ve learnt something new.

[@Gerardo96-f6c]

Wow amazing video thank you so much! I’m fixing to get my first ever pro max iPhone and I’m even more excited now after watching this video! Thank you 😊 I’m also new to Apple after being a lifelong Samsung user . I’m excited for this new journey

[@jayv751]

Excellent and very Helpful🙌🏾 thank you!!

[@bmkhalidhasan]

When someone wants me to capture their photos, I take 3 photos in 3 lenses. Because they don't know how lens distortion works, resulting in disappointment after not getting the shot they saw on other's timeline. So, I keep myself in a safe zone.

[@patriciarivas5369]

That is a great idea!

[@MojeebAhsan]

Excellent video.. Really helpful. Thanks for sharing ❤❤

[@Ryenako]

Thanks to you, my teacher. ❤❤❤

[@Praveenkpaul]

Which model Iphone is this?

[@CyclingOffToSomewhereIDK]

At least a iphone 15 model, the 5x camera was first available on the 15. Probably a iphone 16, because Emil tends to have the latest gear

[@elaizahernandez6256]

Cool I learned a lot on this. 🙂

[@iPhone-Cinematograhy]

Very helpful... thank you for posting.

[@MatRedPilled]

can i import my a7iv raw and use photographic stlyes on them?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Unfortunately, you cannot directly import A7IV RAW files and apply iPhone Photographic Styles to them. The Photographic Styles feature is designed to work with images captured directly on the iPhone using its camera app. However, you can import your A7IV RAW files into compatible photo editing apps like Adobe Lightroom or Apple Photos, and then apply similar styles or edits to enhance your photos.

[@MatRedPilled]

@@iPhone_Photography_School thx for answering!

[@srmtravelstories]

Really helpful video. Thank you.

[@georgejudd1640]

Thank you, an excellent original video, it’s really thought provoking on the subject of lens choice and the effect it has on your photograph. George Watson, U.K on the Sunday 3/11/24 at 7.56 U.K time.

[@Treborray]

such a good breakdown wow !!

[@animator747]

Beautiful video. Thank you.

[@preeper_]

Grate vid! I could use two of three rear cameras, but it seems that the third one doesn't work! Is there any trick for that?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

I'm glad you enjoyed the video! If one of your rear cameras isn't working, here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try: -Test with Another App -Inspect the Camera Lens -Factory Reset If none of these steps work, it might be a hardware issue, and you may need to contact customer support for further assistance.

[@preeper_]

@@iPhone_Photography_School I mean for the top and the bottom cameras its ok, but for the right one I couldn't have it on the screen Do you have it on the screen? for what kind of scenarios you could get the third one on the screen

[@AmanDeep-rw2lf]

Sometimes i got light reflections when i try to pic a photo in high sunlight or in any high light what to do ?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Sometimes, simply changing the angle at which you're shooting can help reduce reflections. Try moving around the subject to find a spot where the glare is minimized. Alternatively, you can use your hand or any object to shade the lens. Just make sure it doesn't appear in the frame.

[@LuisDeBastos]

Excellent video! I have a question... In the example making the background bigger, when using the lens option 5, wouldn't the castle view lose quality? I've noticed that when I take a picture using the lens 5 the image loses quality. Not sure if, becahse in this example we have the person in the frame and it compensates the image compresion?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Using the 5x lens on the iPhone can sometimes result in a loss of quality, especially in certain conditions like low light or when digital zoom is applied. If the 5x zoom is achieved digitally rather than optically, it can lead to image degradation. Digital zoom essentially crops and enlarges the image, which can reduce detail and sharpness.

[@LuisDeBastos]

@@iPhone_Photography_School excellent, thank you for the feedback. I will keep in mind to check the light level as one of the key conditions when using the x5.

[@AmitPandey-v2s]

Does lens protector glass affect image quality?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Yes it does. It's best to stay away from these. 😊

[@AmitPandey-v2s]

@ Thank you 😊🙏

[@Bbbuddy]

Interesting, but my iPhone 15 pro does not have a 5x button. I can find no setting that uses this lens.

[@BakhtiarKhan-z5c]

[@PeerWiethoff]

Will I get the same image quality if I take a photo with the 1x lense and crop it as when I take it with the 1,2x or 1,5x „lense“?

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

Using the iPhone's 1x lens and cropping the image will generally not give you the same quality as using the built-in 1.2x or 1.5x digital zoom (often referred to as lenses, but they're actually zoom features). When you use digital zoom (1.2x or 1.5x), your phone's camera software is using algorithms to enlarge the image. While this can also result in some quality loss, the phone is optimized to handle this better than simple cropping.If your iPhone has optical zoom capabilities (like on some Pro models with multiple lenses), using the optical zoom will maintain higher image quality compared to cropping or digital zoom.

[@tasossaros8375]

Thanks❤🙏

[@lookforbeauty1964]

The issue I see when using the 2x or the 5x is that the resolution decreases too much !!!. I wish Apple establish 48 default mb for every focal preset

[@mokhtarmansor2865]

thanks sifoo

[@indirapoudel5933]

❤❤❤

[@ssergium.4520]

I have a question. From what I see, the 1, 1.2 and 1.5 all produce a 24mp picture. Is the 1x really always better? If yes, isn’t the 2x then “just as bad” if not even worse than 1.5? Edit: The second example was insane! I didn’t expect that! 😮

[@AG-12345-AG]

yes, please elaborate on the differences between 1, 1.2, 1.5 and 2 which all come from the main cam

[@iPhone_Photography_School]

The resolution stays constant across the different zoom levels (1x, 1.2x, 1.5x, etc.). But the quality of the image can vary depending on how the zoom is achieved. 1x (Primary Lens): This is typically the native resolution of the main sensor, so it tends to produce the highest quality images. It captures more light and details, resulting in clearer and sharper photos. 1.2x to 1.5x (Digital Zoom): These zoom levels use a combination of the primary lens and digital cropping or processing. While they can still produce good quality images, there may be a slight loss of detail and an increase in noise compared to the 1x zoom. 2x (Telephoto Lens): This lens is optimized for magnification and can offer high-quality zoom without the digital artifacts that appear at intermediate zoom levels. However, in low light, the main sensor at 1x might perform better due to its larger aperture and better light-gathering ability. For bright, well-lit scenes, the 2x telephoto can provide excellent results. For low-light or fast-moving subjects, sticking to 1x might be advantageous.

[@pktaylor84]

This sounds silly, but it you are teaching someone to use a camera, don't teach them to walk backwards while looking at the image in the camera, people die that way.

[@robertplant6667]

Alice is very beautiful.

[@justincv]

If you replace Alice with Lizzo, your camera would break

[@mrkoerts]

"Compression" has nothing to do with lenses, it occurs depending on your distance from the subject (the same occurs when cropping instead of switching lenses). This makes me question the "Photo Academy"

[@gordonshan]

source? I would definitely like to verify; Thanks in advance.

[@mrkoerts]

Physics. Give it a try: Increase your distance from your subject, and either zoom in or crop; you get similar results 👍
