How to enable 48MP camera on iPhone 14 Pro? There’s a good chance you don’t know this is something you even have to enable yourself.
Apple is making a big fuss about the new 48MP main camera for the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max, so if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on one while your iPhone 14 order is delayed, you might think you can grab the ultra-detailed footage right now. The catch, though, is that you may need to enable something in settings first, and then also in the Camera app every time you feel like you need to capture up to megapixels.
Enabling 48MP ProRAW mode is well worth it, as it produces photos with incredible detail. Just follow these steps to unlock the full potential of your iPhone 14 Pro camera. Let’s take a look below!
How to enable the 48MP camera on the iPhone 14 Pro
This guide only applies if you own an iPhone 14 Pro or iPhone 14 Pro Max, both of which currently feature a 48MP main camera.
1. Open the Settings app, then scroll down and tap Camera. Next, choose a format from the top of the screen.
2. Tap the Apple ProRAW switch so that it turns green.
3. With ProRAW enabled, click ProRAW Resolution, then select 48MP.
4. Now that the settings are in place, you need to open ProRAW in the camera app. So open the camera app and tap RAW in the top right corner of the screen. Alternatively, enter additional camera settings by tapping the arrow icon in the top middle, then scroll right and tap the RAW button. Then it flashed by!
Unless you’ve also enabled Preserve Camera Settings, you’ll need to turn on RAW every time you reopen the Camera app to capture 48MP images. So don’t forget when you’re ready for your perfect shot!
Before you start, here are a few more tips: Shooting at 48MP fills up your internal storage faster than shooting 12MP ProRAW or regular 12MP photos. Apple estimates that a 48MP ProRAW image takes up about 75 MB, compared to 25 MB for a 12MP ProRAW and 2 MB for a standard 12MP. If you plan to take a lot of photos, it might be worth increasing your iCloud storage.
Also, as the Settings menu warns you, even with this mode enabled, photos taken on telephoto or ultra-wide cameras, night mode photos, macro mode photos, and photos taken with flash are still captured at 12MP. You only get the full 48MP when using the main camera at the default 1x setting.
