Macro dailies show sharp subjects and soft bokeh effects, making it easy to shoot professional-looking macro shots.
五、iPhone 15 Pro Max
A major step forward in terms of performance and imaging. First of all, it is equipped with the new A17 Pro processor, which is the world's first chip to use the 3nm process, bringing the "Pro" suffix to Apple's A-series chips for the first time. This technological innovation has sparked widespread anticipation, as the 3nm process approaches the physical limit, resulting in higher performance and efficiency.
In terms of imaging, the iPhone 15 Pro Max has received a significant upgrade in terms of telephoto lenses. Apple has finally added a periscope telephoto lens to make up for the lack of this focal length of the previous iPhone. The quadruple prism design of this lens achieves 5x optical zoom and 25x digital zoom for a much enhanced photographic experience. At the same time, thanks to the clever design, the thickness of the phone has hardly increased, but the image performance has been greatly improved.
The iPhone 15 Pro Max's main camera and ultra-wide lens remain the same as the previous model, but with significant improvements in the telephoto lens. The new telephoto lens uses a 12-megapixel Sony IMX913 sensor and is equipped with 3D displacement optical image stabilization, which brings a clearer and more stable picture to mobile photography. In addition, the iPhone 15 Pro Max's zoom range is also the widest in Apple's history, from 13mm to 120mm, allowing users to take photos of a variety of different scenes.
In real-world shots, the iPhone 15 Pro Max shows excellent detail and color reproduction. Even in rainy weather, the details of the photos are still clearly visible, and the colors are true and natural. The ultra-wide lens does an excellent job of controlling distortion, with images remaining sharp despite a slightly darker color cast. As for the telephoto lens, while it can be a little grainy in low-light environments, it performs well in well-lit conditions.
In night shots, the iPhone 15 Pro Max does an excellent job, with few ghosting issues and a bright, crisp frame. In addition, the phone also has a macro shooting function, which can automatically sense and switch to the ultra-wide-angle lens, providing a better experience for close-up shooting.
iPhone 15 Pro Max features a versatile camera system that is equivalent to seven camera lenses, giving users more creative control. The system includes an ultra-wide camera with a focal length of 13mm, which can also be used for macro photography to unlock more unique angles, a native 24mm main camera with 28mm and 35mm focal length options to switch from, a powerful main camera with a focal length of 48mm and a 3x focal length camera with a focal length of 77mm on the iPhone 15 Pro, and a new 120mm 5 camera with a focal length of 77mm on the iPhone 15 Pro and the new 120mm 5 on the iPhone 15 Pro Max The zoom camera allows users to take beautiful images from a distance. In addition to the new 24-megapixel ultra-high default resolution, the main camera also supports 48-megapixel ProRAW and 48-megapixel HEIF formats, which are up to 4x faster resolution.
In addition to the above five, like Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra, S24 Ultra is also a good choice, and the others are basically soy sauce to make up the number, don't mention any waist, a certain family, etc., either full of gimmicks, or really niche. If you want to take pictures well, you have to be a first-line flagship.
