SmartHDR is still engaged and DeepFusion will work to capture as much detail as possible
iPhone 12 Pro's ProRAW feature is a game-changer — here's how to use it
Taking the iPhone's imaging prowess a step further is ProRAW, which rolled out with iOS 14.3 in December. It's a new way to shoot on the 12 Pro or 12 Pro Max. And it works with all the lenses.

Pro Raw is still "PrettyFakeNonRaw"
For me photos look very oversharpened but also not really saturated. From my old s9, i am actually used to more saturation but my 13 pro takes photos less saturated than real life.
My switch from s9 to 13 pro feels camera-wise more like a downgrade.

Optical zoom is
You will be surprised how much it’s used when it’s there on the phone
I will wait for 10x zoom in iPhone 20 in year 2028 xd
Looks like it is for jailbreak…
Compared HDR and notHDR videos on TV.
HDR is darker and loses details in shadows.
Great it is possible to turn it off for video.
Batch processing in darkroom looks a good option now to reduce colors and make less shadows.
Can anyone say, what is better, HEIC or JPG? Tried to compare, looks the same. Reviews are controversial also…

Image quality should be about the same, or better with HEIC. The biggest difference is the file compression. JPG usually takes up around twice the space. JPG is however more compatible with different softwares.

Guys did you not see the girl in red clothes on the official apple page overburned and overprocessed?
they gave you a hint of what to expect and what they see as a great photo worthy of an ad…
Sad reality of Apple these days…. I took the hint, and did not even buy an apple phone.
Perhaps try and use a non-Apple camera app?
Correct, there’s little to no difference between the two. I use HEIC to save space.Image quality should be about the same, or better with HEIC. The biggest difference is the file compression. JPG usually takes up around twice the space. JPG is however more compatible with different softwares.

My iP13 Pro and my wife's iP13 Pro Max way over-process pictures on the HEIC format, sometimes to extremes, however the attached picture would be difficult to beat; taken on a pier in Florida right before the sun went down. The areas where the sun hit my legs, shorts, and shoes "changed" color...

For what concerning the zoom quality issue it should be due to the fact that, in "low" light, even if you select the telephoto lens, the Camera app won't use the telephoto lens (i.e. optical zoom) but the wide lens (i.e. digital zoom), resulting in a significant loss of quality (you can try yourself by covering the lenses with a finger).
The issue can be overcome by using third-party apps, although it is hardly acceptable for such a pricey phone.

You can find out what lens was used by swiping up. That’s not the case mostly
This doesn't exactly answer your question, but these videos show side-by-side comparisons of the two phones.
It’s not an issue. It’s the DeepFusion/AI at work after you take the picture.
It’s not the issue people are talking about here. It’s the picture after the AI processing that looks unnatural in colors compared to what we perceive with our eyes. What you’re talking about is the feature introduced in iOS 13 I suppose.
I went to a restaurant recently (first time in a long time) and took a picture of my plate. Was surprised when the iPhone 13 Pro Max said I needed to switch to the ultra wide - so whatever, I took the picture, then switched it to the wide and took another photo - keeping it as still as I could. The result? Two very different pictures. Check out the full sized pictures.
Now I’m no pro so I could have messed this up - but the phone WANTED to take the ultra wide angle pic. But even I (not a pro) could tell that it was pretty bad and switched to the wide.
(Above - Pic phone wanted to take - Ultra Wide)
(Below - Pic I retook - Wide)
