So, let&#8217;s explore three little resources to get the most out of your iPhone when it comes to taking the best photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing the right format: RAW or HEIC<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iPhone gives us the choice between two main file formats: HEIC and RAW. At first glance, this may seem like an unimportant technical choice, but the reality is different.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Shot on iPhone 12 | Everyday Experiments: Full Bloom | Apple\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Koj3N4cupNE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">HEIC, the default format, is a highly efficient codec that is ideal for the vast majority of situations. However, for editing and post-production enthusiasts, the RAW format becomes an indisputable ally. When shooting in RAW, the phone stores substantially more information than <a href=\"https:\/\/filetypedb.com\/extension.php?ext=.HEIC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"HEIC\">HEIC<\/a>. This means that, when editing, <strong>we will have a wider range of possibilities<\/strong>, especially in situations where the lighting is good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, if we are on a sunny day and plan to edit the photo later, it is best to opt for RAW. Meanwhile, <strong>in low light or if we simply want an image ready to share,<\/strong> HEIC is our best option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Playing with photographic styles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The camera of our iPhone has a resource that changes very substantially the way in which we see and process photographs: the<strong> photographic styles. <\/strong>These styles are not simple filters. They are settings that, in addition to giving a distinctive touch to the image, respect the skin tones and essential colors of the shot while bringing an important touch of creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let&#8217;s imagine that we want to portray a snowy landscape. The &#8220;Cold&#8221; style can intensify the icy sensation we want to convey. Or maybe <strong>we prefer a beach shot under the sun; &#8220;Warm&#8221; would be ideal<\/strong>. Plus, we have the freedom to customize the tone and warmth to our preference and<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/live-photos-iphone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> make our iPhone photos look much more vivid<\/a><\/strong>. And best of all, once set, the style will remain active for the entire photo session until we deactivate it manually, giving visual consistency to the different images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test exposure and focus control<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The iPhone&#8217;s auto focus and auto exposure is really useful for most shots, but we can also <strong>take manual control ourselves when we need it<\/strong>. In certain situations, custom exposure and focus can open the door to effects and more creative photography that is often very interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Behind the Scenes \u2013 Experiments II: Full Circle\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ggL3OdWaZxM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Do we want to highlight a particular object and keep it sharp, even if you change the angle? Do we want to control the amount of light in a shot? Let&#8217;s lock the focus and exposure. Just tap the screen for a few seconds on the area you want to focus on and you&#8217;re done. Now, by swiping up or down, <strong>we can adjust the exposure manually<\/strong>, giving our images that professional touch you&#8217;re looking for. Likewise, we can move around knowing that the autofocus will not come into play to get a more creative photo.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"sc-card-program\">\r\n  <div class=\"sc-card-program__body\">\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row clearfix\">\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-logo\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__img\" alt=\"Photos for Mac\" src=\"https:\/\/images.sftcdn.net\/images\/t_app-icon-m\/p\/94906c2e-9a9f-11e6-9f57-00163ed833e7\/3035168466\/fotos-para-mac-logo.png\" width=\"100px\" height=\"100px\">\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-title\">\r\n        <span class=\"sc-card-program__title\">Photos for Mac<\/span>\r\n        <a class=\"sc-card-program__button sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/photos-for-mac.en.softonic.com\/mac?\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">DOWNLOAD<\/a>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n      <div class=\"sc-card-program__col-rating\">\r\n        <svg class=\"rating-score__content\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" version=\"1.1\" x=\"0\" y=\"0\" viewbox=\"0 0 50 50\" enable-background=\"new 0 0 50 50\" xml:space=\"preserve\"><path class=\"rating-score__background rating-score--good\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><path class=\"rating-score__value rating-score__value--0\" fill=\"none\" stroke-width=\"6\" stroke-dashoffset=\"0\" stroke-miterlimit=\"10\" d=\"M40 40c8.3-8.3 8.3-21.7 0-30s-21.7-8.3-30 0 -8.3 21.7 0 30\"><\/path><text class=\"rating-score__number\" content=\"\" text-anchor=\"middle\" transform=\"matrix(1 0 0 1 25 31.0837)\" data-auto=\"app-user-score\"><\/text><\/svg>\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <span class=\"sc-card-program__description\"><\/span>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"sc-card-program__row\">\r\n      <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-card-program__bigpic\" src=\"\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <a class=\"sc-card-program__link track-link sc-card-program-internal\" href=\"https:\/\/photos-for-mac.en.softonic.com\/mac?\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><\/a>\r\n  <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Photography with the iPhone (even more if<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/en.softonic.com\/articles\/take-photos-apple-watch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> we take pictures with Apple Watch<\/a><\/strong>) transcends the simple point-and-shoot action.
