Apple to Allow Users to Manually Toggle iPhone 13 Macro Mode This Fall

Apple's new iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max smartphones have a new macro photo mode that allows them to get extremely close to subjects for unique angles. Unfortunately, the mode activates automatically and can't be turned off, but that will change.

The new Apple iPhone 13's macro mode automatically switches from the Wide lens to the Ultra Wide lens which has the macro-capable camera when the device senses that the camera is within 5.5 inches of the rear camera, according to Input Mag 's Raymond Wong.

While handy and seamless, this function cannot be turned off, which can result in some frustration for users who want to use the wide lens for certain photos that happen to have somewhat close subjects or want to manually activate the macro mode even if they are not yet close to the desired subject.

When the camera switches to macro mode, the iPhone will display a crossfade-like visual cue, which is visible in Wong's video below:

MacRumors notes that the viewfinder still shows the 1x framing even though the camera uses the ultra-wide lens for autofocus in macro mode.

In his review, Wong writes that he is particularly bothered by the automatic switching of lenses because he does not believe that anything that changes perspective during the composition of a photo is a good shooting experience.

"Apple says this automatic camera switching is intentionally designed to help capture better close-up details for all three rear cameras on the iPhone 13 Pros," he writes. "I don't agree with this… Because the framing automatically changes from what you -- the person taking the shot or recording the video -- might intend to capture."

Wong reports that Apple initially told him that the automatic camera switching was intentional and designed to help users better capture close-up details without interruption. However, Apple has reportedly issued a statement to Wong and other reviewers and said that the ability to toggle the switching on and off manually will be coming in an iOS update later this fall.

"A new setting will be added in a software update this fall to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at close distances for macro photography and video," Apple reportedly says.

Wong reports that there is already a feature in the camera app called "Lock Camera" that will prevent the automatic macro switching in video mode, so it stands to reason that adding the feature into photo modes would not be difficult for the Silicon Valley giant, hence the relatively quick timing of the coming patch.

As a Pro Photographer, Do I Want the iPhone 13?

I’m a pro photographer. Do I want the new iPhone 13 Pro? You better believe it. Based on what Apple presented, this is a big upgrade for us photographers. That said, it's less so for the general public, unless they’re serious about photography and video. They can probably stick with the iPhone 11 and 12 series.

Except for a smaller notch on the front and a redesigned look to the camera lenses, Aesthetically, the phones look pretty identical to the current iPhone 12 Pro models which belies some of these enhanced features. It's easy to look at these new phones and think that not much has changed.

Sure, most know that the new iPhone 13 brings along the usual, expected, upgrades. Apple promises that the new iPhones will have faster performance, a longer-lasting battery, and this year they also get more capacity options including a higher level of initial storage: a way more generous 128 GB. Remember just a few years ago when new phones had just 16 GB?

But those aren't all the changes, not even close. These are the three reasons I am excited about the iPhone 13:

Cinematic Video

The marquee feature of the iPhone 13 series, from the entry-level $699 Mini and $799 iPhone 13 to the $999 13 Pro and $1,099 13 Pro Max, is a whole new look to iPhone video that removes the “everything in focus all the time,” flat cellphone video look. Additionally, it brings Portrait Mode-like adjustable focus and the best part is that the focus can be adjusted both during capture and after the fact, like the bokeh effect in Portrait Mode. This is a big deal.

77mm Zoom

The “Portrait” lens on the Pro models expands from 65mm in the 12 Pro to 77mm in the 13 Pro, giving us vastly improved throw.
Since, like many photographers, my go-to lens for my Sony A7III is 24-70mm, I’ve now got the holy grail of zooms on a little phone in my pocket. Granted, an iPhone 12-77mm will never be as sharp as my $2,100 Sony G master lens, but what a treat to have that focal range on my walk-around camera, which is the one that fits into my pocket.

Macro

Only on the Pro models, Apple has added a macro shooting capability to the Ultra Wide camera as well as faster sensors. Apple says we can shoot macro in video mode as well, even in slow motion and timelapses.

Should You Buy It?

So if you have an iPhone 12 Pro Max do you need to ditch it for the new models? For me, yes. I think it’s a pretty easy decision. I plan to for the enhancements to video shooting, the improved telephoto length, and the ability to shoot macro photos.

The iPhone 12 got a nice price reduction to $699, but the higher-end models with better cameras -- the Pro series -- has been discontinued as of the announcement of the iPhone 13 Pro series. So if you have an older phone and want the more advanced camera capabilities, you kind of have to go with the 13 Pro.

Something else worth mentioning is that Apple isn't forcing users to pick between Pro models anymore. In the past, the Pro Max had better camera performance than the Pro, but that changed this year. The only difference between the two models is physical size, so for those who like smaller smartphones but also want the best cameras, Apple is no longer making them choose.

I use the iPhone professionally, for shooting my Photowalks travel photography series, and believe me, the pro-looking focus will really be handy, as will the telephoto and macro.

Down the line, another cool video feature coming is the ability to shoot higher-resolution ProRes, which editors like me work with in video editing programs like Final Cut Pro. Apple says that will come later on, but didn’t give a specific date.

If you don’t feel like upgrading at all but want great new photo features for your iPhone, the iOS 15 upgrade coming soon still has a lot of new features for photographers, and that's free.

Apple Unveils the iPhone 13 and 13 mini with Enhanced Camera Tech

Apple has announced the iPhone 13 and 13 mini, which keeps the same general design but has some new changes under the hood.

The camera lenses have been slightly shifted into a diagonal layout. Additionally, Apple has not ditched the notch entirely but has shrunk it by 20%. Both phones are notably brighter than the iPhone 12 series with 800 nits of peak brightness.

iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini are powered by the A15 Bionic chip, which Apple says is several leaps better than the competition. The company says that there are innovations that improve both performance and efficiency in the new chip thanks to a new 6-core GPU. It features two high-performance cores and four high-efficiency cores.

Apple has also upgraded the neural engine which is designed in tandem with camera hardware and software teams. Apple says this results in faster machine learning computations as well. The dual-camera system is what Apple claims is its best dual system yet.

Apple has enabled a new video feature on its iPhones as part of its cinematic mode: rack focusing. Rack focusing refers to shifting focus in a frame to draw the viewer's eyes to different locations in a way that aids storytelling. This usually requires physical control of the lens, but Apple has added the ability to do this by using artificial intelligence that evaluates a scene in real time. When a subject is about to enter the frame, the iPhone can sense that and move focus to them. When someone looks away from the camera, the iPhone will shift focus.

This feature combines with the iPhone's ability to capture Dolby Vision as well to make it possible to shoot more cinematic videos on the iPhone.

The iPhone 13 starts at $699.
