In the last few weeks, much has been made about the iPhone 8 Plus’s camera. While the dual 12-megapixel camera is undoubtedly a welcome upgrade, we're not quite sure whether this new camera will live up to the hype. Here are the top aspects you should be paying attention to. This article will help you find out if it is worth the hype. Take a look at HDR and zoom modes.
Dual 12-megapixel cameras
The iPhone 8 Plus has dual 12-megapixel cameras at its rear. Both have optical image stability, and the Telephoto camera has an f/2.8 aperture. The two cameras can work together to capture pictures in low light. Portrait Lighting mode is also available to create stunning selfies. The iPhone 8 Plus can also be charged at 50% in as little as 30 minutes. The iPhone 8 Plus features an improved camera and image signal processor.
HDR mode
HDR mode on the iPhone 8 Plus can create dramatic results even when it is sunny. If you frame your photo, you will notice brighter areas appearing blown out. HDR mode allows you to restore color and details to brighter areas, instead of darkening your entire scene. This feature can be used to restore blue skies and cloud detail. For more information, check out our guide to HDR mode for iPhone 8 plus cameras.
Zoom
Some iPhone users might want to adjust the zoom of their videos and photos more often. iPhones come equipped with many built-in cameras. The iPhone 8 Plus's larger zoom makes it more versatile. It is possible to zoom in and out with one hand from 0 to 10 times, without having to strain your eyes. You can also switch between front, rear and front-facing cameras using the camera app by holding the zoom controls down and dragging on the slider.
Color rendering
The iPhone 8 Plus's camera delivers excellent color rendering. The phone's new camera captures vibrant colors and great detail in low-light conditions. Its ability to recognize and expose faces makes it especially capable of capturing scenes in mixed-light conditions. We were impressed by the detail in the highlights and shadows of our subjects in the photos that we tested. We particularly liked the way that the iPhone 8 Plus captured the textures and colors of rocks and rusty building.
Performance in low-light conditions
Apple claims the iPhone 8 plus's larger camera sensor makes it easier to capture better images in low light conditions. You can verify this by looking at the metadata attached with the photos. The field of view gives you an idea of how much of the sensor is actually devoted to the subject. See the iPhone 8 Plus camera overview for more information. Weighing the pros and cons of both cameras, the iPhone 8 Plus is a solid choice for most users.
Face recognition
Apple is planning to drop support for Touch ID in favor of Face ID. Facial recognition in low light conditions and at strange angles seems unreliable. Multiple leaks suggest that Face ID should work perfectly. But how does it work exactly? Let's discover more. Below, we'll go over the basic features of Face ID and how you can enable it on your iPhone. You can also find out the next steps.
