Summary
Get drastically better photos and video from any iPhone, but especially the iPhone 18 Pro or Pro Max. I'll show you how to use the new variable aperture (f/1.48 to f/4), manual shutter speed, manual focus with focus peaking, the new Texture and Grain styles, and Apple Reference Image. I'll also show you which settings actually improve your pictures, and which ones to turn off.
