iPhone 16 camera(controller)

Do you take a lot of photos and videos with your iPhone? Then we have good news, because Apple has made some important improvements to the camera of the iPhone 16. Both the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus have the 48-megapixel Fusion camera, which we previously saw on the iPhone 15 Pro (Max). The main camera is again 48 megapixels, but has been expanded with a new function.

For the first time, you can take macro photos with the ultra-wide camera. This feature was previously reserved for the Pro models, but is now also available on the camera of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The improved ultra-wide camera is especially useful for taking close-up photos, which is much better with the new iPhone. The larger aperture also allows the camera to capture more light.

Taking photos and videos is easier with the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus. The devices feature the completely new camera control. This button gives you direct access to the iPhone 16 (Plus) camera. The control has different functions, depending on how you press the button. This way you have all camera functions at your fingertips. Here we explain everything about the camera control.

Custom camera island (and a new button)

Apple has not only introduced new camera functions, the camera island has also been adjusted. The lenses of the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are placed directly under each other. With the iPhone 15 (and earlier), the lenses were diagonally separated. Due to the new placement of the lenses, the camera island is a lot smaller. That’s not all, because it is now also possible to make spatial videos with the camera of the iPhone 16.

With spatial videos, depth is better captured during filming. These videos can be viewed later with VR glasses or the Apple Vision Pro. The captured depth makes it seem like you are really in the video. Previously, making spatial videos was an exclusive feature for the iPhone 15 Pro (Max), but this year all iPhone 16 models have the feature. This is due to the adjusted camera island on the iPhone 16 (Plus).

More video features

In addition to making spatial videos, Apple has added more video features to the camera of the iPhone 16 (Plus). You can film with the new iPhones in Dolby Vision, which is the industry standard for HDR images. With this function you can see more details and contrasts in videos. In addition, light and dark scenes are better displayed. Many professional images are already recorded in Dolby Vision for better color reproduction.

In addition to the iPhone 16’s camera, Apple has also improved the audio in videos. The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus are expanded with Audio Mix. With this function, you can adjust voices in videos after you have recorded the video. You can choose from three voice profiles: in frame, studio and film. With the former, only the voices of the people in the picture are included, with film all the voices around you are picked up. With studio, a professional studio effect is recreated.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus cameras can now take macro photos for the first time, have an improved night mode and have new video functions. Do you edit images regularly? Then you have many more options with the iPhone 16 (Plus), because Apple has added a new generation of Photographic Styles. This gives you many more possibilities when editing and adjusting photos.
