Besides hardware and software improvements, the addition of a dedicated camera button on the iPhone 16 also makes it more convenient for users.
Apple has just launched the iPhone 16 lineup with many upgrades in the camera system, such as the Camera Control button, along with professional photo and video features, like a 48 MP camera, 4K 120 fps video recording, and the ability to isolate individual voices in videos.
The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are equipped with a 48 MP main camera. Apple refers to this camera as a “fusion camera” as it can capture 2X telephoto shots at 12 MP, making it easier for users to take close-up shots without losing detail.
Additionally, the 12 MP ultrawide camera with autofocus capability also supports macro photography, capturing the smallest details from close range.
With improved light capture, the ultrawide camera now can gather 2.6 times more light, enhancing image quality in low-light conditions. The iPhone 16 also supports spatial photo and video capturing with depth, which can be viewed with Apple Vision Pro.
This year, the three-camera system on the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max is uniform. All three lenses have a resolution of 48 MP and focal lengths ranging from 13 mm to 120 mm. The iPhone 16 Pro also features a 5x periscope lens, supporting long-distance zoom.
The 48 MP Fusion camera on the Pro models has a faster and more efficient quad-pixel sensor, supporting 4K 120 fps video recording.
The resolution of the ultrawide camera on the iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max has been increased to 48 MP, compared to 12 MP on the previous generation. On the standard iPhone 16 models, this figure remains at 12 MP.
One of the biggest highlights of the iPhone 16 is the Camera Control feature, which combines hardware and software. This feature includes a force-sensitive button allowing users to activate the camera instantly with just one press. You can take photos or record videos with a light touch or adjust settings like zoom, exposure, and depth of field by sliding your finger on Camera Control.
The Camera Control on the iPhone 16 Pro also supports adjusting color filters in Photographic Styles. This allows users to quickly choose filters like black-and-white or vibrant to give photos more character.
The iPhone 16 Pro/Pro Max also introduces the ability to record video with spatial audio and the Audio Mix feature. Users can adjust the audio after recording, focusing on voices or creating studio-quality sound. Machine learning algorithms are also used to reduce wind noise.
