Using only the 3x optical zoom (er, almost)īut sometimes, flexibility can be a handicap as well as a benefit. Standing in the same place, shooting the same scene, gives very different-looking results. My colleague Zac Hall demonstrated the versatility offered by the iPhone 14 Pro back in September, shooting the same scenes with each of the four focal lengths. In my DSLRs, the lens that was on my camera most of the time was the Nikkor 24-70/2.8. It’s the reason that, even in SLRs, which were built around the concept of interchangeable fixed-length (“prime”) lenses, the most popular lenses by far are zoom ones. Having a wide range of focal lengths available makes for a very flexible camera. In good light, that gives a result that would be hard to distinguish from a 48mm lens. However, the iPhone shifts to using the 48MP sensor for this, then digitally crops down to 12MP. Instead, this is a digital crop from the 24mm lens. The cheat is that there isn’t really a 2x telephoto lens.

The camera has three lenses, yet four focal lengths: There is actually a slight cheat in there. That’s the 35mm equivalent of 13mm to 77mm – a huge range in conventional camera terms. The iPhone 14 Pro models offer a total range of 6x optical zoom, from the 0.5x ultrawide camera to the 3x telephoto.
One of the features of the two iPhone 14 Pro models is the 3x optical zoom, compared to the 1x zoom available on the standard model.ĭuring a Boxing Day stroll, I used this lens exclusively to revisit a photographic technique that has long been popular with DSLR owners … The versatility of the iPhone 14 Pro camera
