In addition to the triple camera, iPhone12 Pro / Pro Max is the first iPhone to have a LiDAR scanner.
The power of this LiDAR scanner is “portrait mode shooting in night mode”, so I actually tried it.
Only iPhone12 Pro / Pro Max is possible!Night mode portrait
In portrait mode, the camera creates a depth-of-field effect that makes the subject stand out and the background blurry.
And with iPhone 12 Pro / Pro Max, “Night Mode Portrait” is now available, which allows you to take portrait mode shots in “Night Mode”, which allows you to take beautiful pictures even in places with insufficient brightness.
How to shoot night mode portrait
Here’s how to shoot a night mode portrait as described by Apple.
- Open the Camera app and swipe to switch to “Portrait” mode.
- A hint will appear on the screen, so follow it.
- Tap the shutter button.
Portrait shooting is possible even in the dark
I actually shot it.
The photo below was taken in portrait mode without a flash. The surroundings are so dark that you can hardly see the subject.
If you try to shoot in this state, the message “Please zoom out and use night mode or flash” will be displayed (If you ignore it and shoot, you will get a black picture like the one above). ..
The following photo was taken in night mode portrait. I don’t think it was taken in the same situation. Unlike when using a flash, it has a natural brightness and the background is well blurred. Only wide-angle camera (1x) can be used in night mode portrait.
If you hold the iPhone12 Pro in your hand and shoot a night mode portrait, it will take 1 to 3 seconds. This time can be manually extended to 10 seconds. If you want to take better pictures, you should use a tripod to fix your iPhone. With a tripod, you can extend the shooting time up to 30 seconds.
At this time, this night mode portrait is only available on the iPhone 12 Pro currently on sale and the iPhone 12 Pro Max, which will be available for pre-order on November 6th. The iPhone 12 Pro Max has the best camera performance in the iPhone 12 series, including sensor shift optical image stabilization.
