A few years ago, Apple introduced a new mode on the cameras of the most advanced iPhones, the macro.
For those unfamiliar, this allows you to capture photos or videos of an object very close to it, at a life-size or larger-than-life scale with sharp focus — in order to view all of its finest details.
In the case of compatible iPhones, the lens used by Apple for macro mode is the ultra-angular.
See, in the following paragraphs, if your iPhone is compatible, how to use the feature in practice and some more tips! 📱
iPhones that support macro mode

How to use macro mode on iPhone
In addition to photos, it is possible to capture Live Photos and record videos in normal, slow motion and time-lapse.
Open the Camera app on your iPhone and select the mode you want, that is: “Photo”, “Video”, “Slow Motion” or “Time Lapse”. Then, bring the iPhone camera closer to the desired object, about 2cm away.
Finally, tap the shutter or record button to capture. To find out if you are using macro mode, just look for the yellow flower icon on the screen.
How to control automatic macro mode switching
When you get close to an object to photograph or film it, the camera automatically switches to macro mode. If you want to disable this automatic change, just tap the yellow flower before capturing.
If the photo or video is out of focus (as in the example above) you can move away or tap “0.5” to switch to the ultra-wide-angle camera — after all, it is what makes it possible to focus so close to the object.
You can also disable manual macro control when capturing photos and videos. Open Settings, tap “Camera” and uncheck the “Macro Control” option.
Tips to make the most of macro mode on iPhone
It may seem trivial, but it doesn’t hurt to give you these two tips below to make the most of this functionality:
- Try capturing the photo or video in a well-lit location — after all, the camera used to take macro photos is the one with the smallest aperture (that is, the one that captures the least light).
- Hold your iPhone firmly. If you are unable to do this with your own hands, the most recommended thing is to use a support or tripod to help with the function.
