The ultra-angle of the iPhone 11 can save a poorly framed photo

Once activated, this option will make it possible to catch up for the photos, but also for the videos. In this case, the iPhone 11 will record two video flows of the same quality at the same time, a fairly incredible feat that Apple had revealed during the keynote about a third -party app 1 . We did not know that the basic camera could also do it, and that the reframe of videos in the photo app will also enlarge the framework.

Use the camera modes on your iPhone or iPad

Learn how to use portrait, pano, idle and other camera modes on your device.

Find the perfectly suited mode at the time

The modes of the camera integrated into your iPhone and your iPad help you capture the perfect photo or video. Brow the camera screen to the left or right to change mode. You can choose from the photo, video, accelerated, idle, square, portrait, kinematics and pano modes. You can also take a photo while you save a video or use Quicktake to save videos when you are in photo mode. Before you start, be sure to have the most recent version of iOS or iPados.

Photo

Photo is the standard mode that appears when you open the camera app. Use it to take static photos and live photos. The camera is focusing and adjusting the exposure automatically depending on the scene. You can touch another area of ​​the viewfinder to change the focus and exposure. If you want to keep the focus and exposure of this area, press the screen extended until the AE/AF lock is displayed.

Quicktake

With the iPhone XS, the iPhone XR and subsequent models, you can use Quicktake to easily record videos without leaving photo mode. With other iPhone models, you can press the shutter for a long time to take a quick burst of photos. Just release the shutter to end it.

Portrait

The portrait mode creates a depth of field effect with a clear focus on the subject and a blurring of the background. You can use Portrait mode on iPhone 7 Plus, iPhone 8 Plus and subsequent models. If you have an iPhone X or subsequent model, you can also take a selfie in portrait mode. You can also use portrait mode with the front camera on the 11 -inch iPad Pro (all generations) and 12.9 inch iPad Pro (3rd generation and subsequent). To use the portrait mode, open the camera app and scan until select the portrait mode. Log from your subject if the app suggests. When the depth effect box becomes yellow, take the photo. With the iPhone X (or subsequent model) and iPhone 8 Plus, your photos in portrait mode are even more incredible thanks to their Studio quality lighting effects. After taking your photo, touch edit and select Studio lighting, contours lighting, stage lighting or mono stage lighting. And with the iPhone XS and subsequent models, you can create a magnificent classic effect thanks to the High-Key Mono lighting. On the iPhone XR, the scene lighting effects, mono stage lighting and high-cooy mono lighting are not available with the rear camera.

Square

The square mode limits the screen frame of your camera to a square, the most suitable photo size for many social media apps. In this way, you can capture a photo and quickly share it on your favorite social platforms. On the iPhone 11 and subsequent models, touch the arrow to access the square mode and other options.

Pan

Use pano mode to capture a high-angle landscape by slowly moving your device. Pano mode offers you a guidance bar in the middle of the screen to help you take your snapshot. If you want to start the photo from the left, make sure the arrow is directed to the right. If you want to start from the right, touch the arrow and change your direction. Tap the shutter button, then slowly move your camera following a straight line on one side of the photo to the other. Try to keep the arrow on the yellow guide bar during the trip.

Video

When you select a video mode, the color of the shutter button goes from white to red. Touch the shutter for the first time to start recording, then a second time to stop it. While saving your video, you can touch the white shutter button to take a static photo. You want to change the length of your video ? Touch modify or the modification button, then move the cursor to start and finish your video at times that suit you. Touch OK to save your changes.

Kinematic mode

Thanks to the kinematic mode, the camera of your iPhone can record videos with limited field depths and add magnificent development transitions to offer a cinema quality rendering. The kinematic mode requires an iPhone 13 or a subsequent model. Get more information on using the kinematic mode on your iPhone.

Action mode

With the action mode, you can capture stable videos when you keep your device by hand, even when you move a lot. To activate the action mode, touch the button . Action mode requires an iPhone 14. Learn more about Action mode on your iPhone

Slow motion

Your idle video is saved normally. It is during its viewing that you can take advantage of the slow motion effect. You can make your video so that the slowdown starts and stops at the time of your choice.

Accelerated

Turn sequences at intervals selected to make an easy -to -share accelerated video. When you activate the accelerated mode and touch the shutter button, your camera takes photos at regular intervals until you press the shutter button again.

The ultra-angle of the iPhone 11 can save a poorly framed photo

It was a rumor, but Apple did not speak about it during its Tuesday keynote and we thought that the function had simply disappeared. This is not the case in the end and as expected, the iPhone 11 will benefit from a cropping function which operates the data of the ultra-angle, in addition to the main camera.

As a reminder, all the iPhone 11 have an ultra-angle (0.5x) in addition to their main camera, a “simple” wide angle (1x). The iOS 13 camera has been changed to report this addition: when you take a photo with the wide angle in 1x mode, you will see on the sides what the ultra-big angle picks. What to realize that someone is missing in a group photo and switch to 0.5x mode to include everyone.

This help is precious, but if you don’t realize that this person is missing when taking the photo, it’s too late. Unless you have activated an additional option of iOS 13, which allows you to systematically take two photos: one with the classic grande-angle and a second with the ultra-big angle.

As Jason Snell indicates for Macworld, This small option in the camera settings keeps a spare wheel for all your images. The two images taken at a different angle are kept for some time-we do not know how exactly-and if you do nothing, the photo app will eventually throw the ultra-angle image so as not to clutter your space storage without reason.

But if, after taking the photo, you want to crop it, iOS 13 will allow you to enlarge it to catch up. The interface described by the journalist is as simple and obvious as one could imagine: during cropping, the photo app signals the larger image around the one you took by displaying it by gray. You can then slide the white bars outwards to increase the size of the image and reintegrate what was missing.

Once activated, this option will make it possible to catch up for the photos, but also for the videos. In this case, the iPhone 11 will record two video flows of the same quality at the same time, a fairly incredible feat that Apple had revealed during the keynote about a third -party app 1 . We did not know that the basic camera could also do it, and that the reframe of videos in the photo app will also enlarge the framework.

It is in any case a very intelligent way to use this new ultra-angle camera, even if you do not use it directly yourself in the camera. And this function probably explains why Apple did not opt ​​for a telephoto lens with a higher zoom level on its new iPhone.
