With iOS 15 you can capture close-ups with macro photos and video — well, you can if you’re using a n iPhone 13 Pro or iPhone 13 Pro Mac.
Those two models introduce macro photography, using the new Ultra Wide camera with advanced lens and auto-focus system for close-ups with sharp focus as close as 2 centimeters. iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max can also shoot macro videos, including slow-motion and time-lapse.
Shooting macro in Photo and Video modes is automatic. You just move your iPhone close to the subject and the camera will automatically switch to the Ultra Wide camera if it’s not selected, while maintaining your framing. To shoot macro slow-motion or time-lapse videos, select the Ultra Wide camera (.5x) and move close to the subject.
You might see the Camera app transition to the Ultra Wide camera as you move your iPhone close to or away from a subject. You can turn off automatic macro switching by going to Settings > Camera, then turning off Auto Macro. To shoot macro photos and videos after turning off automatic macro switching, select the Ultra Wide camera (.5x) and move close to the subject.
