The iPhone 15 and 15 Pro introduce an innovative feature allowing users to seamlessly switch between focal lengths using the primary camera and even set a custom default. This guide illustrates how to adapt and switch the focal lengths to enhance your photography experience with the iPhone 15 Pro.
Understanding Default Focal Length
By default, the primary camera of the 15 Pro and 15 Pro Max is configured to a focal length of 24mm (1x zoom). However, users can customize the primary camera to default values of 28mm or 35mm based on personal preference.
Step 1: Switching Focal Lengths Swiftly
- Launch the Camera App: Open the built-in Camera app on your iPhone 15 Pro.

- Manual Adjustment: For a more personalized approach, press and hold the 1x zoom button to adjust the focal lengths manually.
Step 2: Adjusting the Focal Length
- Navigate to Settings: Open the Settings app on your iPhone 15 Pro.
- Select Camera Settings: Swipe down and choose the Camera option.
- Access Main Camera Settings: Continue swiping down and tap on Main Camera.
