Camera iPhone Lens Guide: When to Use Which Lens? (2022)

Take your Apple photography to the next level by making the most of every lens! The newer iPhone models have two or three rear camera lenses, and each has an express purpose. I will teach you when and how to use which lens. Jump To: * When to Use Which Lens for iPhone Photos & Videos * How to Check Which Lens Was Used to Take a Photo or Video When to Use Which Lens for iPhone Photos & Videos Like any art form, photography and videography are subjective, and everyone will give you different advice. But there are some basics to keep in mind: The regular Wide lens can be used for most photos and videos.  The Telephoto lens can help you see far away objects closer without compromising quality. For example, if your subject is a wild animal and you can't get physically closer, you might use the Telephoto lens to make it look closer than it actually is. If you’re not sure which lens is which on your iPhone, make sure to read this article.  The Ultra Wide lens can be used for the opposite scenario. If you are up close to a subject and can't get farther away, switch to the Ultra Wide lens to capture a wider view of your subject. The Ultra Wide lens is also the key to taking great macro mode photos. Keep in mind that the image may appear distorted around the edges when you use this lens. Each lens has unique specs that might work better for different photos and videos that go beyond the basics I explained above.
