How to take macro photos and video on iPhone 13 Pro? Easy guide

Apple has made taking close-up macro photos automatic on the iPhone 13 Pro, as well as the iPhone 13 Pro Max. However, only if you know-how, and when it happens.

In attempts of making it easy and seamless, Apple has also made it hard.

How to take macro photos on iPhone 13 Pro/iPhone 13 Pro Max?

• Open the Camera app
• You have to make sure the option for Photo is selected
• Move-in closer to the subject
• Wait till you see the image shift
• Then take the shot
• According to the theory and Apple, all you need to do is just bring your iPhone 13 Pro close enough to whatever you’re photographing, then the phone’s camera system will understand out you want macro.
• That’s what the shift is. 
• It’s nearly the same process for video.

How to take macro video on iPhone 13 Pro/iPhone 13 Pro Max?

• Open the Camera app
• You have to make sure the option for Video is selected
• Move-in closer to the subject
• Wait till you see the image shift
• Tap on the Record button
• There is no necessity to get in close to the subject at the start. Instead, you could, use a gimbal and walk from a mile away if you want to.
• Record video as you go from reasonably far away to up close, you will record the image shifting, even the jerking will be recorded as it transitions.
• Sometimes that unmissable shift also marks what appears like degradation in quality.

For video, it’s probably the best idea to use a macro when your shot is already close to the object. For photos, it doesn’t really matter. However, the shift/jerk can alter your framing composition.
