So in most cases it’s the best lens for the job if you’re getting in close, but there may be occasions where you’d rather use a different lens, and if you disable Auto Macro then you’ll have the choice.

Currently these phones will automatically switch to the ultra-wide lens when you get close to something, as this lens powers the macro mode and can focus from just 2cm away. iOS 15.1: Auto Macro toggleĪ smaller camera feature added as part of iOS 15.1 is the option to disable the Auto Macro mode found on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max.

To enable ProRes once you have iOS 15.1, just head to the Camera section of the main Settings app, and select ProRes under the Formats option. However, ProRes files take up a lot of space, and for that reason you’re limited to recording in 1080p at 30fps if you have a phone with just 128GB of storage, but for other models ProRes tops out at 4K quality at 30fps. It’s designed to be visually lossless (though it’s technically compressed), and it’s also less intensive on your computer’s CPU than formats like H.264 and H.265 when editing.

This is a video recording format, and while it’s not new, this is the first time a smartphone has been able to record in the format. This is exclusive to the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max though, so less widely available. There’s more than one big feature in iOS 15.1, with ProRes also making an appearance.
