I just recently passed from android to Iphone 15 Pro and while it’s effectively better under all aspects, it really leaves much to be desired on the moon pictures, with results being vastly inferior to my old Honor 20 Pro from 2018. All of this seems to be due to the apparent lack of focus and exposure control. Now, I understand that Apple phones are not for “Pro” photography but… can’t the AI in the phone really see that that’s the moon and it should focus at infinity? Also, what’s with the huge light flares that I always see when imaging bright lights?
There’s an app, that is pretty good called “Moontake”
I just took this photo, default settings.
ISO 25 , 77mm , 1/640 , iPhone 13 Pro
Wait how? I have an iPhone 13 and I can never get anything like this without a telescope what app did you use.
Adobe (Photoshop) Lightroom
13 “PRO” <— That’s the important part
What’s 77mm in 5yearold terms?
3x tele
How do you control ISO/ shutter speed on iPhone camera?
Adobe (Photoshop) Lightroom
Use a DSLR
I watched an IG post the other day that said you should focus your camera on the furthest thing away from you that you can, then use the focus lock and then adjust the exposure if you need too.
One I took on my old 13 pro max…I have 2 others but photo reply won’t let me post all 3 in one comment.
Looks like a white bulb in a black ceiling.
maybe dont put the iso over 9000
Gotta enable pro raw in the settings
Not the moon but took this at night with night mode turned all the way up
Check this tutorial
You don’t really need to go to video mode for that
Tap and hold you’ll then be able to set your exposure. You should get a slider shoe up in the middle of the screen.
Nailed it.
Fun fact: most modern day android phones aren’t actually taking a picture of the moon either. The software approximates the picture and fills in the gaps using stock images.
iPhone’s, and probably some other Android phones too don’t do that. Just look how bad quality most of the pictures on this thread are. If they were computer generated, they wouldn’t look that noisy. I know Samsung does that thing you’re talking about because there’s a setting.
