As mentioned in our iPhone 12 review, there are times when you want a normal shot with dim lights and as you take your iPhone out and you hit the shutter button, you are served with a brightened photo instead. However handy, we think one should have control over when to turn these modes on and off.
Yes, they are terrific but sometimes…normal mode works! All it needed was the sensor to believe that the environment is dark enough. Prior to the Macro mode, Apple had introduced Night mode on iPhone 11, which again just snuck up on you.
This is not the first “automatic” camera mode that Apple has introduced.
No, it has no buttons and does not even appear on the camera UI but suddenly switches on the moment you get very close to an object.
