Just get up close!

The simplest way to take a macro photo or video is this : Just push your iPhone up close to an object . That ’s it . Just move closer .

You ’ll observe a bit of a waver as the view shift from the wide-eyed camera to the ultra - across-the-board , but Apple automatically trim in on the ikon to keep the same field of view of view .

As of iOS 15.2 , you ’ll also notice a piddling “ macro ” button in the lower corner of the position as a small yellow circle with a tulip icon . This show that you ’re taking a macro shot , and you could exploit the button to plow off macro and render to using the standard wide of the mark lens .

Toggle Macro Control

If you do n’t like the little macro button popping up , you’re able to turn it off . Just launch the preferences app , selectCamera , and then scroll down to the toggle labeledMacro Control . Turning this off will not foreclose your iPhone from going into macro mode , rather it ’ll remove the manual choice . Your telephone will still mechanically switch into macro musical mode , but you wo n’t get the minuscule push in your view that lets you disable macro instruction .

Force ultra-wide view

Holding your iPhone near to a field of study automatically shift to the Ultra - Wide camera but with a crop applied to keep the same field of purview as the Wide television camera . But if youwantthat super - all-encompassing perspective , you could simply zoom out by tap the ( .5 ) button in the camera view , which will utilize the full 122 - degree line of business of view and still let you get up near .

Lock the camera for video

If you ’re shooting picture and move really close to something , the television camera switch can be a fiddling jarring . Under configurations > tv camera > Record Video , beneath all the options for frame rate and resolution and such , you ’ll see a shift mark “ Lock Camera . ” With this enabled , you will never switch camera lenses while in the middle of recording video : not to the radical - wide-eyed for macro shots , nor to the telephotograph when you zoom in .
