Undoubtedly,
Apple iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone Pro Max have the most incredible cameras. iPhone
12 Pro and Pro Max cameras just amazed the smartphone industry through its
quality and features. However, most of the people have complained that they are
unable to take excellent photos with their iPhone Pro and iPhone Pro Max. Well,
the main reason behind this is because they’re not capturing photos in Apple
ProRAW format.
There’s
no need to capture a normal photo through ProRAW, but it becomes necessary when
you’re about to capture a special photo that represents your photography
skills. Basically, the Apple ProRAW image format allows the users to capture
12-bit RAW photo files with the iPhone. So if you’re willing to capture ProRAW
images through your iPhone, here’s what you have to do.
How to Enable Apple ProRAW
Apple
ProRAW works on the latest iOS, so make sure to keep your device’s OS version
on iOS 14.3 or above. Once you meet the basic requirement, let’s get started:
- Open Settings from
the homepage.
- Slide down, and open Camera settings.
- Press the Format option.
- Find Apple ProRAW option
under the Photo Capture section.
- Toggle on Apple
ProRAW option.
Once you activate it on your iPhone 12 Pro or iPhone 12 Pro Max,
your device will begin to capture uncompressed high-quality images. You’ll also
see the RAW option on your Camera app just in front over the
viewfinder. Even if you toggle on the Apple ProRAW option, the camera will
still capture photos in default JPEG or HEIC format. So you have to press the
RAW option to begin capturing Apple ProRAW images.
Just
like other features, ProRAW features can’t be enabled all the time. You’ll have
to select it before capturing a photo. Capturing low light photos with the
ProRAW feature delivers the best contrast, brightness and dark shadow in the
photo.
In any case, if anyone wants to keep this feature enabled all
the time, they simply need to open Settings>Camera>Preserve
Settings and toggle on Camera Mode. The size of a ProRAW
captured image is much bigger than normal images. A single image that is
captured by ProRAW is up to 25MB size. As compared to a normal image like JPEG
and HEIF, ProRAW image is 8-12 times bigger in size. If you ever run out of
storage, you’ll have to take the backup of big size photos using iTunes or
iCloud.
Both
iCloud and iTunes offer users to take a backup of their important documents and
images. However, the free storage capacity of iCloud is only 5GB, but users can
purchase more storage if necessary.
Conclusion
The
Apple ProRAW feature in iPhone 12 Pro and iPhone 12 Pro Max is such a premium
feature that has some restrictions. To capture photos in Apple ProRAW mode is
only available for Pro Models because of RAM size. However, after capturing
multiple images, users can take a backup of it through iCloud and iTunes.
