iPhone 11 and 11 Pro: Features and Tips for Camera

 Apple launched revised dual and triple-lens camera systems, respectively, with the latest iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro, and added quite a few new camera features that are worth learning about.

Photos Outside the Frame

There is a feature that automatically captures what is beyond the frame using one of the other lenses when you take a picture with the telephoto or wide-angle camera on the iPhone 11 Pro or the wide-angle lens on the iPhone 11, just in case you unintentionally cut anything off.

In the Camera section of the Settings app, you can turn this on and take advantage of it while editing images in the Photos app. Any photo with a square icon and a star has more that can be used by adjusting the crop of the photo outside the frame. It's a bit of a niche feature, but after taking a picture, it can come in handy for group shots, landscape pictures, architectural images, and other circumstances where you may want to change the crop of the image.

Photos Outside the Frame doesn't work all the time on all images and you won't want to leave it on all the time because it disables another Deep Fusion function.

Deep Fusion

When you upgrade to iOS 13.2, you'll get a new camera feature called Deep Fusion, which is something that works in the background and doesn't need to be turned on. Deep Fusion uses machine learning and the A13 chip in the ‌iPhone 11‌ and 11 Pro for pixel-by-pixel processing of photos, optimizing for texture, details, and noise reduction in each part of an image.
In images of people and pets where clothing, fur, and other such textures are prominent, you can find much of it. Deep Fusion is mainly intended to operate on indoor images and in circumstances where the illumination is kind of medium-level - not too bright and not so dark that Night Mode is engaged. Deep Fusion is automatic and can not be switched on or off, but when you have images turned on outside the frame, it is disabled.


Night Mode

Night Mode is one of the main features of the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, so if you have one of the new iPhones, you've heard of it and probably tested it out, but there are a few little tips worth learning.


In low lighting conditions, Night Mode automatically turns on and you know that it is triggered when you see a yellow icon with a tiny moon icon and a number at the top of the iPhone camera.



Apple allows you to keep the camera stable for a few seconds with Night Mode shots as it takes several photos of a scene to get the best possible lighting, so that the number of seconds that the shot can last is the number on the icon.

Based on the lighting conditions, Apple automatically chooses the best exposure time, but if you tap the moon icon, you can change the slider to the left to switch off the Night Mode if desired or to the right to choose a longer exposure, which can alter the photo's look slightly.


In general, the default settings for Apple are nice and most individuals would not need to change their exposure times for the Night Mode. However, knowing how to switch off the Night Mode is helpful, as there are times when you may want to get a fast night time shot.

Be sure to keep your iPhone as steady as possible for the recommended number of seconds to get the best Night Mode shots, and pick a scene with a subject that does not move much.

Live Photos

In iOS 13, Apple can group Live Images together automatically in succession, enabling you to watch video styles. If you have multiple live photos you have taken at one time, you can click the first of the bunch and it will show you the reproduction of all the live photos you have taken instead of just a few seconds from a single live shot.

You can also pick all of the Live Images you have taken, tap the Sharing icon (square through it with an arrow), and then choose to save it as a video.

This is probably not a function you're going to use very much but it's good to know that if you've done anything like taking a bunch of pictures of a pet or kid and want to transform it into a little video instead it's accessible.

On the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro, these' Live Images' improvements are available, but can also be used on older iPhones running iOS 13.

Quick Take

There is a neat Quick Take feature for the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro that makes it easy to take a video without switching to video mode. If you take images and decide to make a video instead just hold down the shutter button and the recording will begin.

camera

If you want to keep recording for more than a few seconds, keep holding and swipe over to the right side of the screen to continue the video in the video mode.

In the 4:3 aspect ratio, QuickTake videos are shot at a 1920 x 1440 resolution at 30 frames per second. By using the square aspect ratio, images have a resolution of 1440 x 1440 and the aspect ratio of 1920 x 1080 is 16:9.

Burst Mode

Actually keeping the shutter button down is how Burst Mode functions on older iPhones, so if you skip Burst Mode, don't worry, there's always a way to do it.

For Fast Take mode, hold down the shutter button and then just swipe to the left instead of the right to trigger Burst Mode. In rapid succession, Burst Mode takes several images and then lets you pick the best of the bunch.

Portrait Mode

You are no longer limited to only one lens when using Portrait Mode on the iPhone 11 and iPhone 11 Pro Max. Portrait Mode worked only with the telephoto lens on the iPhone XS and XS Max, but with the new iPhones, Portrait Mode works with both the telephoto and wide-angle lenses.

Swipe over into Portrait Mode to switch lenses, and then press the tiny '2x' or '1x' icons on the left side of the screen to zoom in or out. It will allow you to fit more into the shot using 1x mode and it is ideal for scenes with multiple people or objects, while 2x mode is great for zooming in on a single person, 
pet, or other object.

There is no telephoto lens on the iPhone 11, so it is restricted to the wide-angle lens and no zooming in is possible.

Wider Selfies

An choice that helps you to get more in the picture, which is great for group selfie shots, has also been updated with the front-facing camera.

Tap the little arrow toward the bottom of the screen to zoom in or zoom out when the front-facing camera is enabled. Zooming in and out works in normal picture mode only, and for front-facing portraits, you can't use it.

Night Mode on iPhone: Everything You Need to Know

Image
The newest iPhones from Apple, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro, and iPhone 11 Pro Max, are fitted with a new feature called Night mode, designed to take crisp, clear pictures even if lighting conditions, such as at night, are low.   Unfortunately, Night mode is not supported on the   iPhone SE   or   iPhone XR . It remains an exclusive feature for the ‌iPhone 11‌ line of phones. As the name suggests, Night mode allows you to take pictures at night, with lighting that has never been possible on an iPhone before, thanks to new hardware and new machine learning algorithms. Although Night Mode brightens photos, it also preserves the feeling of night time, balancing an image's light and dark elements. For a while now, Android smartphone manufacturers such as Google and Samsung have had unique modes to brighten up evening shots, and Apple is on equal footing with these other smartphone cameras with the 2019 iPhones. What is Night Mode? Night mode is an automatic setting that take...

Best 2021 Xbox controllers: Get the advantage of these third-party and official pads with these

Image
  (Pocket-lint) - The Xbox controller has a pretty remarkable lineage already - following the very unusual design embraced by the original console's chunky gamepad, the Xbox 360 introduced a new type that's stood the test of time. It has been updated only marginally over the Xbox One years, and for the Xbox Series X and S as well, it has remained very similar. That's a testament to a great deal of architecture, but it also has some limitations. Picking up a new controller might be a game-changer, because it's not quite the right shape for you, or whether you want some extra buttons and features.
