1. Optimal Setup:
   1. Illuminate: Find a well-lit area with even, diffused light (natural light or a diffuser is ideal).
   2. Stabilize: Secure your iPhone 15 or 16 Pro Max on a tripod or steady surface to prevent camera shake. Clean the camera lens for crystal-clear images.
   3. Use a good quality Tripod and a Stabiliser (Gimbal) if possible.
2. iPhone Camera Settings:
   1. Maximize Quality:
      1. All iPhones: Select "High Efficiency" in Camera Settings > Formats.
      2. iPhone 16 Pro Max: Enable ProRAW and set resolution to 48MP. Take Apple ProRAW photos with your iPhone camera
   2. Capture: Use the primary wide-angle lens (1x) and keep the camera parallel to the photo.
   3. Use Level to keep the camera parallel to the Photos --> Use iPhone as a level
3. Enhance and Refine ProRAW Magic: Edit ProRAW images in Photos or Lightroom to enhance colors and details.
4. Using a Bluetooth remote with a tripod is an excellent way to capture steady, high-quality photos or scans that usually comes with a good quality tripod.
