Announced on the 14th, the new iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 Pro are on the market. In view of this, the first analyzes of the models have already been published, with several praises and some specific criticisms. Among them, the problem in the functioning of macro photography in certain use cases. Given this, the giant Apple will need to make an update to correct the problem. Check the details below.
iPhone 13 and the problem with macro photography
iPhone 13 has a Macro Photo Mode. In short, it aims to record photos or videos of objects up to 2 cm away from the lens. So far so good, as it captures a great level of detail quickly.
However, the problem occurs when approaching the object that is framed. That is, the iPhone 13 Pro automatically changes the sensor used, and does not allow manual user adjustment - only in the case of still images.
In view of this, the INPUT website disclosed the problem in its analysis, and thus points out a possible design flaw by Apple in the macro photography mode. According to the website:
"The fact that there's a "Lock Camera" setting in the "Camera" section of the Settings app that disables automatic camera switching for video recording is proof enough that Apple knows people wouldn't like that."
What does Apple say on the matter?
Initially, Apple stated that this was the expected performance for the mode. However, the company appears to have changed its mind. She even took a stand in favor of users and promised to fix the problem.
According to INPUT, Apple said that:
"A new setting will be added in a software update this fall to turn off automatic camera switching when shooting at short distances for macro photography and video."
However, so far there is no exact release forecast, but the estimate is that the novelty should not take long.
