Dashu mobile photography

IPhone 13 series has been released. As a platform focusing on mobile phone photography, we also pay special attention to the image performance of iPhone 13. Recently, after uncle began to experience it, let's talk about the experience of several new picture functions added by iPhone 13.

Film effect

If iPhone 7 Plus opens a new era of iPhone portrait photography, then this generation of iPhone 13 opens a new era of mobile phone shooting "movie video".

IPhone 13 supports "movie effect" mode, which can automatically change the focus when recording videos of people, pets and other topics, and apply the natural blur effect of depth of field, so that users can shoot movies without becoming professional filmmakers. It is easy to tell who the "protagonist" is through the video shot in "movie special effects" mode.

Apple takes "movie effect" as its main function mode and adds it directly to the camera main interface. Users can slide and open it, which is quite convenient to experience.

When shooting a movie effect video, the camera will automatically identify the subject and switch the focus. Of course, the photographer can also click on the screen to switch the subject at will, and there is a smooth transition when switching the focus. The whole rhythm gives people a smooth sense of breathing.

In addition, after shooting, you can edit the focus and adjust the degree of Jiao Wai blur in the photo application.

It is worth mentioning that in the "movie effect" mode, iPhone 13/mini can't switch lenses, while Pro series can switch between 1 times and 3 times; By default, Dolby Vision HDR, 1080P-30fps format video shooting. I hope that Apple can give users more adjustment space in video parameters in the future.

macro photography

In the iPhone 13 Pro series, a new skill that could not be realized on the iPhone in the past was finally added: macro photography. Some people may ask: Hey, macro photography, didn't Android phones exist a few years ago?

Indeed, it is nothing new to take macro shots with mobile phones. As we all know, in today's fierce competition of smartphones, Apple is not the first to propose some functional experiences. They think it is necessary to optimize or find the best experience solution before giving it to users.

Then the question is, what is the difference between macro photography of iPhone 13 Pro and macro photography of other mobile phones?

The macro photography of iPhone 13 Pro mainly relies on the super wide-angle lens. Different from many Android phones, users don't need to turn on the so-called "macro" mode when taking macro photos, but when the phone is close to the subject, the camera will automatically switch to the super wide-angle lens, so that they can shoot the nearest object about 2 cm.

According to the actual experience, macro photography of iPhone 13 Pro requires almost no learning cost. When the mobile phone shoots an object from far to near, the lens switch is smooth and the screen switch can be seen clearly.

However, the macro photography function is limited to iPhone 13 Pro series. As for iPhone 13 and iPhone 13 mini, this function is not available.

Cinematographer Style

All cameras of iPhone 13 have added a "photography style" filter, including four photography styles: high saturation, high contrast, warm tone and cool tone. Photographers can adjust the hue and color temperature in advance before shooting, so that their favorite styles can be more deeply integrated with the algorithm, thus obtaining better photo effects than applying filters later.

There are two ways to open and set the photography style filter. First of all, users can turn on the filter in Settings-Camera-Photography Style, and the camera will use the preset filter by default when taking pictures.

Secondly, users can also swipe up on the camera interface and click the filter icon to open the "Photography Style" filter. Swiping left and right can switch different filter styles and adjust the hue and color temperature below the viewfinder.

Unlike simple filters, these preferences are intelligently adjusted for different parts of the photo to ensure that important elements, such as people's skin color, are preserved. For example, when shooting a portrait, even if different filters are switched, the skin color of the portrait can remain basically the same, and only the overall atmosphere of the photo is changed.

In addition to the new features described above, the iPhone 13 Pro series has two upgrades worth mentioning.

First of all, the telephoto lens, Pro series is equipped with an optical zoom lens with an equivalent focal length of 77 mm, which allows users to be closer to the subject when recording video and establish a more classic portrait photography composition;

Another upgrade is the new ProRes video format for professional photographers, which is similar to Apple ProRaw in image, and can obtain higher dynamic range and larger post-processing space. But at present, this function has not been officially launched. I believe that with the push of iOS later this year, it will be updated to iPhone 13 Pro series users.

abstract

From the actual experience, although the "movie mode" and the addition of some functions may not feel "earth-shaking" changes for ordinary users, the polishing and innovation of iPhone 13 on images will indeed bring users a brand-new creative experience.

Thanks to the blessing of A 15 bionic chip, "portrait mode" has also appeared in shooting video, which may really be the next trend of mobile phone photography. We have reason to believe that the mobile phone photography competition will definitely improve the computing power and bring new possibilities for mobile phone video creation!

Well, that's the hands-on experience of the new features of iPhone 13 series pictures. Later, we will also bring you more real shots and tutorials about iPhone 13. Remember to pay attention!
