widening the screen in photos iphone 14 max

Hi, When I take pictures using the photo option, the screen becomes smaller than when in video mode. How can I enlarge the screen area in photo? Thank you.

iPhone 14 Pro Max, iOS 16

Hi Atheresa,


This is likely due to a different lens being used initially when you start a video, rather than a photo. You would change this by zooming in or out when you have the Photo option selected.


"Zoom in or out

  • On all models, open Camera and pinch the screen to zoom in or out.
  • On iPhone models with Dual and Triple camera systems, toggle between 0.5x, 1x, 2x, 2.5x, and 3x to quickly zoom in or out (depending on your model). For a more precise zoom, touch and hold the zoom controls, then drag the slider right or left."

Cheers.
