From the start, the photographer says how excited he was about the new 48MP resolution, since “I crop 100% of my images. Either with a few pixels or by cropping most of the frame, I use cropping as a tool to balance/direct the viewer’s eye where I want it and cut out fluff.” This is a powerful way to view and shoot, and I encourage photographers with all cameras to be more creative with their cropping, as it can often elevate an average image to a great image with a few clicks.

When shooting in ProRAW, it found that most of the images are around 80MB, with the smallest files being just 45MB and the largest being 117MB. For low-light conditions, he decided to switch from 48MP to 12MP because, when dealing with fast-moving subjects, he found that with these settings, “the camera is extremely responsive and will deliver the best possible image files in these limited light conditions. »
Shooting at 12MP or 48MP on iPhone 14 Pro? Mann explains which one to choose
Photo: Austin Mann on iPhone 14 Pro After trying both options, the travel photographer shared some thoughts on why he decided to shoot most of his photos with ProRAW at 12MP: It’s interesting how it highlights storage options – the iPhone 14 Pro can go up to 1TB of storage – and battery drain.

Other camera features
Austin Mann also highlights a few other iPhone 14 Pro camera features, like the new Action mode, which he says needs daytime scenarios to work properly. At times, we were caught a little off guard about how much light was needed. For example, inside an airport during the day, it didn’t work because it needed more light. Regarding the 4K Cinematic feature, Mann believes it’s “a few steps closer to being a tool that filmmakers can actually use in their workflow,” though he believes that in addition to 4K at 24 fps, a ProRes version of this feature is very necessary.
Wrap up
Austin Mann ends up talking about SOS Satellite Emergency – which isn’t available yet – and how an eSIM-only iPhone could be a problem for US users. I’m a little concerned about the practicality of an eSIM-only approach for US iPhone travelers who frequently visit the developing world. My wife and I usually land on a project, get change and get a local SIM card so it’s easy and cheap to contact people in the country. I keep these SIM cards in my everyday bag (see image above) and for areas I travel frequently, I can just swap out the SIM card upon landing and be good to go.
