[@bilalahmedwrites]

Thanks, man, Just recently got an iPhone 15 Pro Max and wanted to have the best camera settings. Your video had the maximum views so I watched it and found it very useful.

[@Mr-Gigoloo]

You’re welcome bro

[@sandeshvantveen]

Great vid! Just switched ti iOS and the keynotes naturally only talk about new features, so this was useful.

[@mjneriperez]

Thank you Zac I changed my camera settings now. Appreciate ❤

[@reuterss306]

Thanks bro. I just ordered my phone and really wanted to step up my photography game...this was the perfect way too start. Gonna buy your preset pack as soon as the phone arrives. It so surreal that you now have such a high quality camera in your phone...cant wait to go shooting :D

[@richardbaluyut5704]

Thank you Zak, it was very helpful. I bought the 'The Master Collection'.

[@mapk100]

Wow… I’ve just got an iPhone 15 max, and your vid has just been so helpful Thank you 🙏

[@natambascovia1047]

Thank you . I was crying of a bad camera on the most latest phone but now I’ve got a nice one

[@ryandoan8579]

Thanks for creating this video. Really helpful!

[@jeronolevin218]

Thank you so much ❤ It's so helpful

[@domdp]

found this tremendously useful thanks mate

[@Matt.Bogosian]

Thanks man I really learned a lot. I appreciate you putting this together.

[@TheMantombi]

Thank you Zak, I was very frustrated with my dark pictures on my new iPhone 15 especially due to the auto portrait which I’m not a fan off. Your vid helped a lot. Please don’t forget us iPhone 15 users:( When you get a chance please do something for us, but I could pick up a lot from this video as some of the camera settings are the same for the 15 and 15 pro. Tx

[@KevinPaulBell]

and Zac, not trying to tear you down. You have a lot of good info in here...

[@TECHNIKMM]

Awesome video! Just got your presets can’t wait to try them out! One thing: you say in 16:9 ratio you get the full quality for instagram posts. You don’t. You are cropping in which means you lose pixels. Instead of a for instance 48mp picture you are getting a 36mp picture

[@MarioMercier]

Super informative video dude, been loving these! Blew my mind when I learnt you can shoot any aspect ratio and crop back to original 4:3 later

[@Mahkey_Official]

I just bought it, I'm a musician and this helped me a lot to get into it more, I tried it out and will experiment with these tips and tricks as I go, thanks a lot. ♥

[@dannylim1979]

[@rmappita]

Thank You !!

[@naimaahmed7386]

Thanks man

[@pedromartinperez6011]

Good video thanks

[@justrebootusa]

Awesome - I purchased your presets, and made the charges suggested - I'll be hitting up Rome next month, so this should be awesome on my 15PM. Do you have suggestions on which of your presets should be used on certain scenes (eg. Inside museums, early am, early pm, night, etc.)?

[@8372190]

Thanks for the nice video, Zak! I take photos with my 15 Pro Max because it’s always on me and quite simple to use. I set it on High Efficiency, 24 MP. That’s it. I don’t fancy PRO RAW anymore (I used to have a Canon EOS, Mark III and all the fancy lenses). My photos don’t need to be either incredible nor an art work and believe me, they are good. I use my iPhone App for post editing if need be (I quit Photoshop and Lightroom). I watched the video, because I’m always open to new things, but I realized this wasn’t for me. In 2018, I started using my iPhone for photography when I was in Paris. I never once regretted not having to lug my heavy equipment around. I took great photos along the Seine, inside museums and churches, never once thinking I missed a long lens… At night, from our hotel, I could choose some of my shots and share them with family and friends on FB.

[@Watzac]

No worries at all mate! Not everyone is looking to edit their iPhone photos or get the absolute most out of them. The photos from the stock iPhone settings still look incredible to say the least!

[@abdallamaalim434]

Just brought my 15 pro max today, am I that late? 😅

[@rushilb.8376]

@@abdallamaalim434just got it today . Definitely not late than me 😂

[@Turbo_Forge]

This dude is the best!

[@talyt5756]

Thank you bro

[@Oharsh0928]

Great video. Thanks for the tips.

[@Watzac]

My pleasure!

[@staceyluxuryrealtor5763]

Hi Zac, what settings do you recommend for jewelry photography in a light box?

[@royjones1962]

Great and easy content to follow. 👌

[@Watzac]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@KevinPaulBell]

HEIF and HEVC are the way to go. Not only are the file sizes smaller, the image quality is superior. HEIF photos are 10 bit and 4:2:2 color space as opposed to 8 bit jpeg with 4:2:0 or less color space. HEVC (h.265) is, like HEIF, smaller and has better bit rate and color space. Unless you have a pc or Mac that is more than five years old, go with HEIF and HEVC.

[@tjtang]

You are 100% right! I thought … when the 1st point he already tell BS … don‘t need to watch the rest and just start looking comments 😂

[@Watzac]

Good shout dude! Great correction, totally right 🙏

[@Watzac]

Nice!

[@LiamApilado]

I thought so. was questioning the video when watching. Should pin this because the video will miss lead many.

[@angel33333333]

Can someone explain I didn’t understand a word, is this on iPhone?

[@yamahaevo]

Been though all this settings but I missed compability setting. So thanks! Could you do a comparison with manual camera apps for iphone?

[@Watzac]

Great video idea! Stoked I could help out man!

[@aaroncampos4654]

I just started photography, and I use iPhone 15 pro, here for some tips

[@kelliei9375]

Would you consider pictures taken on a lighted stage from a dark auditorium (ex.ballet) a darker environment? Pro raw or pro raw max?

[@1alb]

Love how say the iPhone takes great photos, yet spend considerable time in Light Room fixing the pic to make it look half decent.

[@souvik9-c458]

Very helpful

[@Watzac]

Glad you think so!

[@samrose9675]

Great video with great tips that i'll be incorporating for sure. I've always been afraid of lightroom and always justified it in my mind with the idea that a great photo won't need help to be great. I do admit that it's just an excuse not to learn a new software and ideology. however, I'm not sure if I'm alone in this thought, but I preferred the orginal picture to the finished product (the sample picture you were editing in lightroom). I think the edits you made were incredibly clean and made it look like some sort of utopic spire of a building. But man, something about that lightly grungy original shot struck me!

[@Watzac]

Thanks for the feedback dude! At the end of the day it’s all personal preference right, I like to add a little something something to my shots and there is absolutely no need for anyone else to do so! Either way, it’s a good idea to playa round with Lightroom and learn what it can do to you photos just in case one day you need to fix something up!

[@dr.kamleshwarkumar7308]

Very good

[@femorsp]

Man, what about the regular iPhone 15? Any tips for the configuration ?

[@DouglasBrightman-yb8ry]

Thanks, great video Learned a lot I don’t edit much, as I feel it’s cheating a bit Feel great when I take a photo and think just as good as one that’s been tinkered with

[@ramanlotey6768]

Nice

[@BR-dn7hw]

Nice👍🏽

[@domdp]

I am pretty sure Portrait in photo mode just saves information IF you choose to add depth in post. It doesn’t take portraits in normal photo mode. I know LR also can apply depth in post with a gradient filter* Do you believe it affects picture quality leaving this on for say a landscape? or street photography?

[@sofiariakhina5906]

yay! this is great thanks

[@Watzac]

My pleasure!

[@sumayamaya]

Name of the editing up😢😢 please

[@mohamedismail6521]

Pretty cool, that work amazing

[@NABINRAII]

🟢 High efficiency = save space ( compress) / 🔴 Most compatible = large space

[@z27o]

that mask trick was new to me thanks bro

[@alexrambo3325]

Love it. Thank you.

[@lenarudiger8575]

Hey Zac, I do Not Like the Selfie photos. Do you have some good Settings, to get better Selfie pictures?

[@leonardberverena1030]

So good ❤video information ℹ️ 😊

[@Watzac]

Thank you!

[@FSvizzard]

what’s the matter with the apple pro res file format for video? HDR or Log?

[@Dakshmarwah]

Why do you suggest sticking to the 1080p at 30 fps for the video settings. Should we not change it to 4k at 30 fps?

[@lee4515]

Zac I watching your helpful video on camera setting on iPhone 15 pro EXPOSURE. .5 1x 2 5 upon looking on my phone cannot get (5) getting 3. On phone 15 pro 128 Lee

[@Grognakwf]

Thanks for the video, a friend just bought the 15 pro and we noticed that the colors are weird sometimes. For example violet gets a blue touch, if something white is in the frame (eg a white paper), the colors are more accurate. Is there anything in the settings that can help to make the colors more natural?

[@ondraro]

Great video, just a quick note: the iPhone you are using doesn't have a 2x zoom lens, it has just 0.5x, 1x and 5x

[@10KidsandAGarage]

When I push the pro log on the top of screen, it makes my screen go flat. If turn it off, I have great quality? What could that mean?

[@rory1er]

What app is being used for the photo edit ?

[@Aflo2023]

So glad this video popped out. Using my 14 pro to its full capacity.

[@xclobin]

Hi! Can you tell me the setting for video or photo in concert venue? My camera lost it’s focus everytime, so I need to hold/tap the camera everytime the light is changing. Cause in the venue concert the lighting is so bright and then change into dark. I'm very tired of holding my phone just to adjust the brightness😅

[@SplinterTM_]

Is it possible to use your Lightroom settings, with the standard version of the app, or must I buy Lightroom premium ?

[@camaleon18]

I don’t know how you got the edit for the colour and all those tabs to choose from

[@Kadian-dc1mn]

Ive had my phone since early may and i kept saying how come they say iphone is better than android when iphone dont take pics good. Didnt know i had to set the camera. Thank you for this video. This my first iphone and i learned a lot here watching your video. Thanks much.

[@helaodinsdottir3742]

For the “PRESERVE SETTINGS” what about the spatial video toggle? Do I toggle that one as well?

[@danielbozev6942]

how to add the exposure scale in the left corner ?

[@nerzmbali2795]

Thank you for the information. What settings can I follow if my selfie images are come out darker?

[@Watzac]

My pleasure! Try adjusting your exposure slider shown in the video to be brighter!

[@enhance518]

Ist any zoom other then 1X 12mp?

[@stevenwinfield5079]

Cracking video. Cheers for heads up on light room app. Basically you’ve just turned my phone into a google pixel 8 pro. I’ll stick with my iPhone for ever now.

[@samiullahqalandari4514]

Oh man! I don’t know what have you done but now I can take 48mp photos. Keep it up bro!

[@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

[@srutihazarika606]

Selfies taken in iphone 15 are very noisy and grainy. Any suggestions please Zac?

[@anshconcept2597]

Most compatible will give pics in JPEG.. so dnt u think so HEIF will be better option… what’s ur take

[@GregoryPatent]

hi, what is the name of editor used in this video? Thank you.

[@joycewycoff3061]

Thanks so much. Possibly stupid question: images I have take are filled with light on the screen and look incredible. When I look at them in photos, that incredible light has gone away. Is it something I'm doing wrong?

[@nellyandon8815]

Switching from Huawei Pro to iPhone 15 Pro Max, and I hope with all these free tutorials, life will just get easier. Thank you heaps, this tutorial is so great!!

[@Watzac]

My pleasure! Enjoy the switch!

[@AdonisiPatricia]

Hi,I didn’t understand you so well Wich mobile??? What is the name of the app you editing photo?

[@henriknielsen4640]

whats the name on your photo editing app?

[@dsdjgreg]

What’s the flower for that was yellow?

[@lindaskolaris6751]

Can't wait to try this. Question since you are an expert- Should one purchase lens protectors for camera of iphone 15?

[@domek9975]

no, iphones have sapphire glass which is close to impossible to scratch. Bought protectors scratch much easier and also decrease picture quality.

[@inkyskillz1416]

Sorry I couldn’t understand you what app is it for the photo editing

[@cedricceddyb4857]

Gooday Zak Im am lost on the edit of the pictures, i don't have the same settings as you do, maybe i don't know where to click to access the settings. Please assist Cedric here

[@Teetee8378]

Please what’s the name of the photo editor app you called in the video…I didn’t quite get the name…thanks!

[@meghandonaldson8880]

Does anyone else have an issue getting clear photos zooming in? The 15 pro was advertised as having great resolution when you zoom in which is why I got it, but all my photos come out blurry, even after changing the settings from this video

[@abigailgeerligs4571]

Is this the same for the 15 (not max/pro)

[@mosessunday676]

What the name of that editing app

[@vickylee808]

Hi Zac, thanks for the run through with setting. It's very helpful. oh by the way what is the name of the app for the mobile photo edit. I'm sorry very new to tech. thank you

[@Watzac]

Hey Vicky! Thanks for the feedback, stoked to help out! The app is called Lightroom!

[@robinchuwan]

I have an issue on my Iphone 15 where I use flashlight when taking photos but.. it just doesn't show up in the picture? I compare two photos with flashlight on vs off and there's barely any difference! I like taking pictures of my books, and the shadows cast by the papers don't even disappear in the flashlight photos which doesn't make sense

[@amaliaarango3068]

This is if you wan to put your own settings? Right?

[@swetaprasad1890]

Why did not you on mirror camera? Because whenever i try to take selfie on mirror off mode it looks worse. Can you explain please?4:23
