![]() If you want to switch between using the rear camera and the selfie camera, then you simply press an icon near the shutter release and the cameras will switch over. The camera will automatically select which it thinks is the best one, but you can choose from the others if you prefer. This can be useful for selfies and group shots so you’ve got different ones to choose from. Either way, you’ll see a large display counter on screen counting down how long until the exposure will be tripped, and at the end, the camera will take 10 photos in quick succession. When you activate the timer, you have the choice of 3 seconds or 10 seconds. Live Photos means that the camera will record a couple of seconds of video with each photo which can be played back on the iPhone, or in certain apps such as Facebook. You can switch the flash on and off, switch HDR capture on and off, enable Live Photos, activate a timer, or choose from 8 different digital filters.įor both HDR and flash you can choose an “Auto” mode which means the camera will automatically decide for you if those modes should be enabled. Recording in 4K will eat up your memory quite quickly, so it’s best reserved only for special videos rather than every day movies.Īlong the top of the screen, or to the left in horizontal format, there’s a few more options. Annoyingly, if you want to switch back to full HD, you’ll also have to go back through the settings. The Apple iPhone 7 can shoot 4K video, but if you want to enable that you’ll need to go into the phone settings rather than activate it via the camera app itself. There’s Time-Lapse, Slo-Mo and Video for movie recording, and Photo, Square, and Pano for stills shooting. You switch between these modes by simply swiping. Going back to the Apple iPhone 7's native camera app, you have different shooting modes along the bottom of the screen (or to the right if you turn the phone on its side to shoot landscape). From there you’ll be able to record photos in the universal DNG raw format. ![]() To do that, you’ll have to download one of the myriad other apps available for iPhone, such as Manual, which gives you access to that setting. ![]() ![]() For example, you won’t find any “pro” modes, or anything that allows you to change advanced settings such as aperture, white balance etc.Īlthough you can now shoot in raw format, you can’t do that through the native camera app. If you’ve used an iPhone before, you’ll be familiar with the native camera app, which has relatively few options available when compared to some of the Android models currently on the market. You’ll be able to take as many photos as you like without unlocking the Apple iPhone 7, and you can press a small square in the bottom corner of the screen to view any you’ve taken - but unless you unlock the phone, you’ll only be able to view any images you’ve taken during that session, rather than any you’ve taken in the past. From here, you can simply swipe left on the screen to be taken directly to the native camera shooting app without unlocking the phone. This basically means that as soon as you lift the phone, the display switches on without you having to press a button. One new feature is “lift to wake” which is available as part of iOS 10 for iPhone 6S phones and later. The body design of the Apple iPhone 7 phone itself is also the same. Ease of UseĪpple keeps the camera operation very simple for its iPhone cameras, and there’s not much in the way of changes from the old model. The biggest difference between the two being that the iPhone 7 Plus has a dual camera setup. The iPhone 7 was announced at the same time as the iPhone 7 Plus. Apple has improved the screen to display a wider gamut of colours, and there’s also some of the same functions as brought over from the previous generation, such as Live Photos, 4K video recording, the ability to capture panoramas, slo-mo videos and timelapses. Other specifications of interest to photographers include a TrueTone flash, optical image stabilisation (previously only available on the iPhone Plus model), the ability to shoot raw format photos and a 7 megapixel front-facing (selfie) camera. Not only has the maximum aperture improved from the f/2.2 of the iPhone 6S, but the camera is promised to be 60% faster and 30% more efficient. Although it has the same resolution as its predecessor, Apple claims that the camera is a “huge advancement" in comparison, and that everything is entirely new. It features a 12 megapixel camera, with an f/1.8 fixed length (28mm equivalent) lens. The Apple iPhone 7 is the latest iOS smartphone and is the follow up to last year’s iPhone 6S.
