Summary of camera performance of 'iPhone 15 Pro Max' equipped with 5x telephoto camera, you can take clear photos with no blur even with telephoto camera



The iPhone 15 Pro Max, announced in September 2023, is equipped with a 5x zoom camera with the longest focal length in iPhone history. Sebastian de With, the developer of the camera app '

Halide ', has compiled photos actually taken with the iPhone 15 Pro Max and performance evaluations.

iPhone 15 Pro Max Camera Review: Depth and Reach

The iPhone 15 Pro Max has a 12 megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a focal length of 13mm (35mm format equivalent), a 48 megapixel main camera with a focal length of 24mm (35mm format equivalent), and a 12 megapixel main camera with a focal length of 120mm (35mm format equivalent). It is equipped with three types of cameras: a megapixel 5x telephoto camera, and the three cameras are combined to ensure a 10x optical zoom range. Mr. Wiz takes photos using each camera and summarizes the performance of each camera.



◆12 megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera with a focal length of 13mm (35mm format equivalent)
Ultra-wide-angle cameras can cover a very wide field of view, allowing you to capture the subject you want to photograph without having to worry about framing.



Apple has not particularly emphasized the performance improvements of the ultra-wide-angle camera installed in the iPhone 15 Pro Max compared to the previous generation model, but according to Mr. Wiz, the processing of compositions that include bright light sources has been improved, and it can be used during the day. The shooting performance has been improved. Specifically, the occurrence of ghosting has been suppressed, and it is now possible to capture the entire image clearly even in compositions that include bright light sources.



◆48 megapixel main camera with a focal length of 24mm (35mm format equivalent)
Apple says of the iPhone 15 Pro Max's main camera, 'An advanced quad-pixel sensor works with your subject to make the most of 48 megapixels, capturing stunning detail even in low-light conditions.' I'm appealing. Mr. Wiz praised the iPhone 15 Pro Max, saying, ``No complaints. It's great.'' ``Just like the iPhone 14 Pro's main camera, you can take great photos as a ``real camera'' rather than a ``mobile phone camera.''

Below are examples of images taken by Mr. Wiz with the main camera. It is possible to express rich tones from bright to dark areas.



The iPhone 15 Pro Max's main camera uses a 48-megapixel image sensor, but by default it records 24-megapixel photos. Depending on the settings, it is possible to record 48 megapixel photos, but according to Mr. Wiz, there is a problem with 48 megapixel photos that ``the file size is large and takes up space.'' For this reason, Mr. Wiz evaluates that it is ``logical'' that 24 megapixel photos are recorded in the standard state.

With the iPhone 15 Pro Max, you can shoot with '2x telephoto' by treating the 48-megapixel main camera as a 24-megapixel camera. First of all, below is a photo taken without zooming.



Below is a photo taken at 2x telephoto from the same location. Wiz evaluates the 2x telephoto function saying, ``Although in some cases the expression of blur may be lower than expected, it is surprisingly good as a virtual zoom function.''



◆12 megapixel 5x telephoto camera with a focal length of 120mm (35mm format equivalent)
The iPhone 15 Pro Max is equipped with a 5x telephoto camera with a focal length of 120mm (35mm equivalent), the longest in iPhone history. Comparing the photos of the main camera and the 5x telephoto camera, it looks like this. First, below are the photos taken with the main camera.



Below is a photo taken with a 5x telephoto camera. The letters on the road are clearly visible, and the silhouettes of people crossing the road are also clearly recorded.



Furthermore, below are some of the photos taken with the 5x telephoto camera. If you focus on things like signs and shadows reflected on asphalt, you will see that even the smallest details are clearly recorded. Mr. Wiz evaluates the 5x telephoto camera as ``the clearest telephoto lens Apple has ever shipped.''



With a focal length of 120mm in 35mm format, it is necessary to use approaches such as ``fastening the shutter speed,'' ``fixing the camera on a tripod,'' and ``relying on the image stabilization function'' in order to clearly record the subject. However, with the iPhone 15 Pro Max, it is possible to record photos with less blur just by taking a quick handheld photo. The following photos were taken under conditions unsuitable for taking clear pictures of the scenery on the ground from an airplane window, but they are able to depict the shape of the mountain surface and the trees in detail.
