Switching lense of camara from distance to close

iPhone 13 mini close-up capability My iPhone 13 Mini camera, unlike the Pro version, does not have a macro facility - I get that. Looking at this forum there were lots of complaints about the poor quality of the close-up capabilities of the 13 Mini and the inability to focus closer than 9 inches. I find that if I select the 0.5 lens and then zoom in to the maximum 5x I get a very decent sharp close-up from 9 inches - am I missing something?

Can you switch to 3x lens while connected? I would like to use my iPhone in continuity mode to record meetings through OBS. Can you switch to 3x lens on Iphone 14 pro or are you stuck with main camera only?

Telephoto Lens iPhone 14 pro I recently bought an iPhone 14 Pro. Today, I was testing its camera and noticed an issue. When switching to 3x zoom in both "Photo" and "Video" modes, the iPhone continues to capture using the main lens. I tried covering both the wide-angle lens and the main lens with my finger, but the iPhone didn't switch to the telephoto lens. This happens regardless of lighting conditions, even on a sunny day or when pointing the lens towards bright skies. So it's not a matter of lighting conditions. In "Portrait," "Panorama," "Cinematic mode," "Slow motion," and "Time-lapse" modes, my iPhone does indeed switch to the telephoto lens and captures through it. Is this some kind of bug? Or is this intended behavior? How can I make my iPhone capture photos and videos using the telephoto lens in "Photo" and "Video" modes? I tried two other iPhone 14 Pro units in the store, and they exhibited the same behavior.

It's hard to know what mode you were in, but it sounds like you took the photo in portrait mode? This link might help you learn more about the cameras on your iPhone --> About the Camera features on your iPhone - Apple Support
