"Evolution and true value" of the iPhone 13 Pro from the photographer's perspective <Part 1> (Mynavi News)

"IPhone 13 Pro" and "iPhone 13 Pro Max" equipped with triple camera.The camera performance is quite different from iPhone 13/13 mini in the popular price range.

I was using the iPhone 11 Pro Max, and the Mynavi News Editorial Department asked me to use the 13 Pro for a while.In the first place, I reviewed 11 Pro Max here, but I remember being surprised by the abilities of the three -eye lens.It seems that the camera function has been strengthened from there.[Image] The adjustment width of the exposure compensation is wider than the conventional PHONE 11 Pro Max, and if it swings large on the negative side, it can be blank the shadow to emphasize light and shadow.Speaking of delivery at work, it is often said that those who are present at work can say, "I can shoot even with smartphones recently."On the other hand, in my heart, I violently refute, "The sensor size is completely different!"Just in my heart.The difference between the two is clearly appearing in the inkjet print.Conversely, there is no difference between monitors such as smartphones and tablets, but most smartphones are drawn so that they can be displayed neatly on that device, so from photos taken with SLRs and mirrorless machines.It looks good.Therefore, in commercial printing that is not as high as inkjet or as high -definition as an inkjet, it is rare that photos of the iPhone taken with a spare spare are submitted.I heard that I was taking a small room, but I had to shoot a small room, and there was no ultra -wide -angle lens.Also, this is the most common, but when the iPhone's painting is hooked and looks better than a work camera.The fact that the "digital scareness" in the photo was thinner than the previous iPhone was that the people involved have recently stopped witness due to the corona evil ... but with the iPhone 11 Pro Max.It is great that three types of cameras, especially ultra wide angles, can now be used.Also, it is the benefit of Apple's "Computational Photography".This is to perform ultra -high -speed continuous shooting in the moment when you press the shutter, instantly synthesize them and finish them into one photo.It has the effect of expanding the dynamic range (gradation), reducing noise, and improving details, and as a result, photos taken on the iPhone are very different from the so -called "shooting" of the general camera.It's like an image after retouching from there.The reason why the camera in the iPhone series is unchanged at 12 million pixels released in 2015 is enough unless it is actually a big print, and it is understandable that it will be used to improve image quality.doing.In fact, Apple does not clearly specify the number of pixels on the iPhone, and the sensor size is unpublished.Yokozuna Sumo may not compete with the catalog specifications, but I think it is free because it is a camera that is not a camera.The computational photography, iPhone 11 Pro, had a little unnaturalness in gradation, but when I used the iPhone 13 Pro, I realized the evolution.If HDR is too effective, you will lose a sense of depth, but with the iPhone 13 Pro, the effect has become mild, and you can take "photos like photos" with a light digital odor.The telephoto lens equivalent to 77mm is worthwhile, but the lens is clearly new.The wide -angle side is 13mm, which is the same as the iPhone 11 Pro, the first three -eye model, but the telephoto is doubled (equivalent to 52mm, iPhone 12 Pro Max only 2)..It extended from 5 times = 65mm equivalent to 3 times (equivalent to 77mm).By the way, digital zoom extends to 15 times, 390mm equivalent.In other words, what was a real standard lens while saying telephoto became a telephoto lens in both name and reality.The telephoto lens of the iPhone 11 Pro was almost the same angle of a full -size single -lens reflex camera / mirrorless machine (50mm), which was easy to use for a person who was accustomed to the camera.However, in general, you will often choose a telephoto lens because you want to enlarge distant things, so this change is convinced.On the other hand, although the slider that appears by pinch operation or long press can use the middle of "1" and "3", the difference between the two is too large to feel unwilling.I feel that it is contrary to Apple's philosophy, but I'm very happy if I can determine the default zoom position arbitrarily or start up at the last zoom position if I launch a camera app.Well, dissatisfaction is that much.More than that, the telephoto lens equivalent to 77mm is really interesting and easy to use.It is already installed on the iPhone 12 Pro, but thanks to the LIDAR scanner, which measures the distance with a laser, it has become possible to shoot portrait mode in the dark, and the autofocus has become faster.Like the iPhone, most of the smartphone main lenses are about 25mm wide -angle.It is easy to use to take snaps and hand, but it tends to be a distracted photo if you take a distant view because it has a strong perspective.In that regard, the 77mm equivalent can be taken in front of you with a close -up, and the distant view can take high -density photos without waste.It is a photographer's craftsmanship that creates the world's condensed feeling casually, and on the other hand, is a photographer's craftsmanship, so he brings various exchange lenses.And when that is not enough, use a photo taken with a convenient and convenient iPhone.Due to the effects of the camera shake correction mechanism and bright lens, the image quality in the dark place is clearly improved, but since I have never used the iPhone 12 Pro/Pro Max, I have a two -generation Phone 11 Pro Max.It would be a comparison, but there was no difference in what was taken in a bright place compared on a Mac.However, there was a clear difference in the dark place.Because the telephoto has increased the focal length F2.0 → F2.It is dark to 8, but the wide -angle of the main lens is F1.8 → F1.5, super wide angle is also F2.4 → F1.It is bright as 8.Although the sensor itself has no major changes, I think that the lens has become brighter greatly contributing to the image quality.When the digital camera becomes dark, the sensitivity must be increased, and noise is generated by amplifying a slight light.Therefore, the basic concept of camera manufacturers is to expand the area of the sensor that accepts light, catch a lot of light and reduce noise.However, smartphones can only physically install small sensors.In that case, the lens is brighter, delivering a lot of light to the sensor, and suppressing the noise from the cause.By the way, the iPhone 13/13 mini is a wide -angle and ultra -wide -angle twin lens, but the wide -angle of the main camera is equipped with a large sensor with only Pro Max.The sensor shift type camera shake correction to be talked about after this is also installed on all models in the iPhone 13 series.So, Muji and MINI seem to be bargain, but I think the advantage of going up to 77mm in optics (especially for those who read such articles) is great.The optical hand blowing correction is really wonderful, and you can take a beautiful night view with your hand.The reason why there is no tripod is also a trend of recent lens replacement mirrorless machines, and it has a patience comparison with "OK with hand up to ○ seconds", but the iPhone 13 Pro can afford about 3 seconds.As a guide to patience, the number of seconds on the shutter is displayed, so inhale deeply before taking.This optical hand blurring is alive even in video shooting, but the story is the second part with the new feature "Cinematic" and the so -called finish setting, the same new function, "Photograph Style".Takashi Kano Born in Tokyo in
