Camera switching in between video/ taking photo

why does iphone camera change the camera being used without even telling the user. I was using my 11 pro for 3 years and few months back the main camera lens’ OIS was broken and was voicey and even tough the other lenses where fine i was not able to use the camera due to my iphone thinking it still gives better photo in the broken camera lens and not the telephoto lens or wide camera lens.

why is the software automatically switching it rather than not able to select it over lens zoom

now even in my new device 14 pro, it is so annoying when the switching happens to a wide or telephoto and messing up the aperture and starting to show noice and grains while i shoot at low light situations

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi Answaf,

In some situations with your iPhone 14 Pro, it may be expected for the camera mode to automatically change. This would typically be related to the Macro Control options which, when enabled, automatically switches to and from the Ultra Wide lens when moving closer or farther away from an object. You can turn this feature on and off under Settings > Camera > Macro Control, and you can get more information on how it works in the Apple Support article About the Camera features on your iPhone - Apple Support.

If the camera modes are changing outside of the above expected scenario, we can recommend troubleshooting the Camera, which you can do with the Apple Support article If the camera or flash on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch isn't working - Apple Support. It discusses how to troubleshoot issues related to your iPhone camera, and might help resolve things for you.

Should the issue continue after that, please get in touch with Apple Support directly. They will have access to the necessary tools and resources to further investigate what is occurring. You can do that here: Get Support.

Have a lovely day!
