Those same limitations are also in place when the app is adjusting the iris itself in Auto aperture mode, but it turns out that\u2019s not a strict limitation of the iPhone\u2019s camera hardware.

You can adjust the aperture from f\/1.48 to f\/4.0 in 1\/3 stop increments giving you 10 presets like Blackmagic\u2019s app, which is the same approach as most digital cameras take. Given the small sensor size of the iPhone 18 Pro you may be hard-pressed to see a difference in background blur and focus depth when comparing photos with f-stops different by just 1\/3 of a stop, but more control is never a bad thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/tech\/1000729\/moment-pro-blackmagic-camera-ii-ios-app-iphone-18-pro-max-aperature-camera\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the questionable limitations of the iPhone 18 Pro\u2019s new main camera with a variable aperture is that you\u2019re limited to just four settings in the native iOS\u2019 camera app in manual mode: f\/1.48, f\/1.8, f\/2.8, and f\/4.
